This showcase home is a perfect example of the blending of clean lines with the use of organic materials throughout, Vermont blue stone in the home's foyer, walkways around the pool, and black walnut cabinetry Before you even enter the home, you may be drawn down the boardwalk to take in the spectacular panoramic views of the marsh with the convenience of the small boat dock giving you private access to the creek.
The main house offers an expansive living room with black walnut entertainment center, formal dining room, a large updated kitchen with breakfast room all with oversized custom windows that allow panoramic views of the water and the island's incredible wildlife.

Imagine starting your day with a magnificent sunrise over the water, wandering across the upper deck during the day to the loft/sitting/workout room and enjoying the glow of the sunset at the end of the day. For those who love to cook, you will fall in love with the gourmet kitchen with double sinks, dishwashers, and ovens, Dacor appliances, and a Miele built-in coffee center.
