Walk to town, parks and the waterfront from this British West Indies inspired custom pool home on 1.21 acres! Built in 2023, this residence has character, charm, plenty of unexpected areas and its own unique story. The front balcony overlooks the grounds where you can enjoy sunsets, and the grand oak trees. The moment you step in the front door you will notice the ceramic tile flooring that looks like slate, and it extends throughout the entire first floor of the home, accented with touches of coastal decor. Beautiful Anderson® windows allow natural light to fill the rooms while providing energy efficiency. The open main living area offers views of the refreshing 12′ x 32′ saltwater pool from large sliding glass doors. The well-designed kitchen is the heart of the home, highlighted by the 3′-6″ x 10′ quartz island with a double sink and upper open shelving and plenty of lighting to display your favorite dishware. The kitchen is smartly fitted with a 5-burner gas range, dishwasher, refrigerator and a microwave. The convenient butler’s pantry provides additional storage and makes entertaining effortless between the kitchen and the dining area. The cafe with its high ceilings provides a casual dining space and opens to the travertine patio and pool deck. In the living room the Isokern® masonry gas fireplace has a classic herringbone brick pattern inside surrounded by a cast stone mantle and is wonderful on those cooler evenings. There are two bedrooms on the main floor, a guest suite with a private entrance, and a full bath. This bath also doubles as a pool bath. The spacious primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet and an ensuite bath. The bath has access to the backyard, and offers a double vanity with glass sinks, and complementary designer tile around the tub-shower area. Upstairs you will find wood floors, two more bedrooms, a full spacious bath, a wet bar, and a bonus room currently used as a lounge. The lounge opens to the balcony that overlooks the front yard grounds.
