Located in the highly sought-after neighborhood of Cove Rd and overlooking the harbored waters of Hamburg Cove, this newly built estate provides a lifestyle of luxury, relaxation, and sun-soaked open floor plan for those who choose a blend of work & play. Designed by David Duncan of Needham Duncan Architecture LLC, no detail has been overlooked. Well-appointed features include a first floor home office, whole-house automation, and security system, multiple ventless recessed wall mounted fireplaces, a chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances, a first-floor laundry room adjacent to the elevator brings you to all three levels, first-floor master suite with cathedral ceilings and entry to the bluestone patio with hot tub and panoramic water views. Not impressed yet? The fully finished lower level provides you with an opportunity to unwind in the gym followed by a session in the infrared sauna, catch a movie in the theatre, take a nap in the bedroom, shoot a game of pool or entertain at the wet bar while admiring the 300-gallon saltwater aquarium. Walk outside where you will find a quaint guest cottage with a full bath and screened-in porch, a gazebo, and a private dock where you can access your jet skis or boat. With both formal living spaces for elegant entertaining and comfortable family areas for casual gatherings, this exceptional waterfront home offers a gracious and fun-filled retreat for family and friends.
