About This Home

As of September 2021

Absolutely gorgeous coastal style home boasting expansive spaces and abundant lofty sunny windows in the sought-after Pelican Point community. Arrival is celebrated with a 2-story foyer with splendid staircase, beautiful warm wide plank, hand-scraped hardwood flooring and stunning views of nature afforded by the wall of abundant light-filled windows in the great room. Comfortable and sophisticated, the living room area showcases a soaring vaulted ceiling further accessorized by the raised hearth gas fireplace, handsomely wrapped in stone, and flanked by windows as it towers the wall from floor to ceiling. Whether celebratory gatherings or informal meals, guests are drawn to the gourmet kitchen featuring a monumental bi-level, wrap around center island offering ample prep surfaces, sink, a breakfast bar, and embellished with feature pendant lighting. The crisp white custom 42” display cabinetry is enhanced by the generous granite surfaces, swaddled in a glass subway tile backsplash and complemented by a suite of stainless-steel appliances. As the heart of the home, the kitchen is central to the adjacent breakfast and dining areas, with access to the patio, perfect for dining al-fresco. You will love entertaining guests outside on the terraced brick paver patio hosting a sunning deck, a dining area, and conversation area all embellished with retaining wall garden planters, manicured landscaping, and all inside a fully fenced rear yard that backs to the panoramic open spaces framed by trees. Relax and unwind in the spacious well-planned private main level primary bedroom suite adorned with high ceilings, chandelier lighting, plush carpeting, beautiful views of nature, a sitting area, and 2 walk-in closets. The luxe en-suite bath affords two spacious vanities, a sizable glass and tile shower stall with bench and private water closet complete this sanctuary. From the foyer through French doors, you will find the study, also a powder bath, and adjacent to the kitchen the well-appointed laundry room with garage access, this completes the main level. Make your way up the staircase to the substantial, yet very cozy loft area where you can get away from it all and watch a movie, play a game or curl-up with your latest beach novel. On this level are 2 bedrooms, a generous hall bath with double vanity, and a huge bonus space, itself a blank canvas to create additional living or storage areas. Enjoy all the benefits of this high-performance home with its quality craftsmanship, Rinnai tankless water heater, and numerous energy saving green features. Don’t miss this opportunity to have sunrise greet you with your morning coffee in this very sweet home and possibly own a perfect piece of paradise!
