$3,599,000

ONCE UPON A TIME in a sweeping coastal vista with an architectural world-class design, there is a premiere Lighthouse Sound estate. Truly an unparalleled level of both privacy and prestige. Fashioned in the classic Shingle-Style design, otherwise known as "Coastal Seaside Architecture"... MANY EXPENSIVE HOMES ARE LARGE, BUT FEW EXPENSIVE… Read More HOMES ARE PROPORTIONED THIS WELL. The symmetry here creates a feeling of both permanence and luxury. The roof is exceptionally interesting with its multiple gables that break up the immenseness of size and adds both character and ceiling height inside. Copper accent roofs feature standing seams. The rooftop Widow's Watch, or observation deck, (OR crow's nest!) is an amazing feature- especially when YOU are up there taking a good look at the 360-degree views of the bay, or fireworks displays, or enjoying your favorite beverage. All rooms in this house feature exquisite hand-crafted architectural elements and views of the natural, coastal habitats. Enter into the main hall and your eyes will be immediately drawn to the direct view of the water. Moving forward into the living room, or great parlour, is a complete wall of windows soaring 20 feet high. An aged-glass mirror adorns the limestone woodburning fireplace beneath. (mirror included) Most of the floors throughout are walnut. The billiard room and adjoining den/media room showcases brilliant walls of Honduran mahogany. A solid wood pocket door separates the two rooms, if desired. A full wet bar area with granite counters grace the side of the billiard room, including an under counter fridge with icemaker. Adjoining the billiard room is a side porch with a "cat-slide" roof, adding yet additional character to the overall design. Speaking of design, the Becker-Morgan Group in Salisbury, MD were the architect engineers of this project along with collaboration from both Washington, D.C. And New York City design teams. The dining room displays custom wallpaper that was hand painted and depicts the natural elements and scenes from the ponds and surrounding environments. The dining room features a grand bay window, framing magnificent sunsets for guests to admire. The chef-inspired kitchen is appointed with premier Wolf appliances and striking Carrara Italian marble. It features an exquisite copper tile backsplash framing the six-burner gas range and griddle, complemented by an integrated, refined sitting area for elegant entertaining. A butler's pantry offers granite counters, a 120 bottle wine refrigerator, a copper sink and a beverage refrigerator. The three-story turret overlooks the gated 40 X 16 heated swimming pool and hot tub. First floor of the turret is a wonderful and bright sunroom, while the second level of the turret is the yoga room located next to the immense primary bedroom suite that features a sprawling "dressing room", or could easily be converted into a nursery suite. The primary bedroom features a gas fireplace plus an additional adjoining sitting room overlooking the bay and offers access out to the private primary bedroom's balcony. The primary bath features marble counters and the accoutrements worthy of this suite. The third floor of the turret showcases an office tower/observatory. INCREDIBLE architecture and INCREDIBLE views from this 1.47 acre lot! There are SO MANY additional custom features in this spacious home, we've added a special list for you to peruse upon your request. Although encompassing more than 8,200 square feet, this storybook waterfront residence lives with the comfort, warmth, and intimacy of a much smaller home - a rare combination of grand scale estate and serene sanctuary. Rarely will you ever find such an enchanted home to call you own. Read Less
