You must see this exquisite home in the much desired community of Martin's Point! Tucked down a long winding driveway, nestled in the trees, this gorgeous property sits on over an acre of land with navigable creek frontage. As soon as you arrive at the property, you are welcomed by a stunning blue flagstone-covered front porch that radiates peace and quiet with the sound of the backyard creek lazily flowing by. It won’t take long to realize you can live a life of luxury inside with all the conveniences and amenities you could possibly need. Nothing was overlooked when the house was designed. When you enter, you'll notice gorgeous walnut wood floors from the foyer to the living room. But, what really draws you in are the breathtaking views of the marsh and creek framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. As you enter the foyer, the dining room is to your right and the study is to your left. Upon walking into the living room, lovely custom details start to emerge. This home's elegance is enhanced by features like coffered ceilings, custom bookcases, and a marble fireplace. Moving farther into the house, you’ll notice a chef’s dream kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and more than enough counter space for food preparation. Winning an award for best kitchen design when the house was built, this kitchen has everything: custom cabinetry, granite counters, expansive center island, cabinet paneled appliances, and ample storage. A portion of the kitchen footprint allows for a casual dining space which is surrounded by windows on three sides to allow this home's amazing views to be enjoyed while entertaining or cooking. Located just off the kitchen is a butler's pantry & wet bar tucked behind a one-of-a-kind etched glass pocket door. Next to the butler’s pantry, is a half bathroom for guests and a hallway leading to the laundry room and garage. The primary bedroom is also located on the first floor. Handicap accessible, and boasting 11.5 foot ceilings with spectacular views of the creek, this space feels like a private retreat. Again, no detail was forgotten. Who needs a spa day when you have heated marble floors, marble counters, towel warmer, a double vanity, steam shower, and a jetted tub with views? Taking the elevator or the stairs to the next level, you will find a second handicap accessible primary bedroom with en-suite and two additional lovely bedrooms sharing a jack-and-jill bathroom. The bonus room over the garage that can be accessed from inside of the house has a gorgeous custom bathroom, and it can be used as a sizable fifth bedroom suite, a home gym area, recreational area, or an additional living space for the family. Not to be overlooked, the exterior of this home provides everything you could need for enjoying the outdoors: landscaped yard with irrigation system, screened in porch, 75 foot long dock with boat lift and deck off the living room for entertaining! The two-car garage has plenty of space for storage and a work area that opens up with a bay door for easy access for utility vehicles. This is the epitome of coastal living, a tranquil, idyllic setting where you can unwind and truly appreciate the wonders of nature. Don't pass up this chance to turn your desire for a creek front home into a reality. Other wonderful features of this home include a reverse osmosis water filtration system, central vacuum in the home and garage, wireless weather station, surround sound throughout the house, a tankless water heater, wrought iron and brass fencing, propane generator, cedar lined closets, built in wall safe, and security system.
