This beautiful architect-designed contemporary 4BR/3BA year-round home is set on . 85 private acres with a 15' deeded right-of-way to the waters of Western Bay at the property's edge. Serenely nestled into the natural landscaping among the tall pines, this well maintained property offers both an abundance of natural light and great privacy. The expansive 1st floor MBR with its own propane stove, built-in bookcases and private deck access is a private refuge in and of itself. A soaking tub w/ jets in the master bathroom transforms it into your own spa. The open LR/DR areas extends into a music room alcove with a full-sized piano – all of which is kept toasty by the LR fireplace insert on cold nights and allows for direct access to the outdoor decks in good weather. LR/DR area has ample wall exposure that easily lends itself to the display of large artwork pieces. A second 1st floor BR and a full bath/laundry room completes the 1st floor layout. Circular stairs lead to two additional 2nd floor BRs and a small office/study that are connected by a balcony with a delightfully cozy writing/reading nook and open views of the LR/DR space below. The detached 2 car-garage has plenty of overhead space for a studio/workshop/office. Full house generator provides complete peace of mind for rural living.
