About the property
If a property could sing, this might be the beauty and crispness of Andrea Bocelli with casual comfort of Jimmy Buffet. Originally designed by Haywood Newkirk, the house fits its waterfront setting anchored with century old live oaks and has been magnificently updated by the current owners to embrace the timeless feel with all the best touches of today's design. As you approach the gravel drive, you will be greeted with a new ipe statement accent that tie in with the warm tones for the new garage doors. Entering the ground floor foyer through new front doors, you will appreciate the new herringbone brick flooring and new custom designed rough sawn white oak and walnut covered custom stair runner to the second floor with its' sweeping open floorplan welcoming the stunning ICW views through oversized windows. Great natural light fills the house and is accentuated with boxed skylights that frame the massive built-in cabinetry in warm wood tones. The center of the house is a brand new kitchen with custom cabinets and huge center granite island. A stainless $60K appliance package that include a stainless La Cornu range and full size stainless fridge/freezer in addition to multiple refrigerated drawers and beverage cooler. Everyone's favorite space just might be the new scullery off the kitchen with a home office area and custom brick walls. Be sure to check out the vintage brass switches and brass and glass hardware found throughout this masterpiece! Three bedrooms and two baths complete the second floor including the waterfront master suite with all new bath and his and her closets. Just off the great room is a 24' x 16' waterfront deck with new powered retractable awning and new trex decking, perfect for family gatherings and elegant entertaining. This vantage point overlooks a backyard like no other! With gravel paths that wind around raised plant beds, fig trees, olive trees and flowering perennials, the full fenced back yard with expansive lawn and tree shaded area can hold a crowd for an evening oyster roast or could accommodate a future pool. Enjoy having access to the community pier with a dedicated boat slip with a 10,000 lb. lift.
Enjoying the salt life on the water doesn't get any better than a day at unspoiled Masonboro Island right out your back door!
