About This Home

As of April 2022

A TOKENEKE TREASURE: This beautifully renovated home is perfectly sited on one flat acre in the heart of Tokeneke. The quality of this home's building standard would be impossible to replicate. A gracious entrance with high ceilings, custom millwork and wide planked floors welcome you into this extraordinary home. It's cozy dining room with a gold leaf ceiling and fireplace are perfect for entertaining.
The sun -filled kitchen with custom cabinetry, double islands, high end stainless steel appliances and Paris Ceramics limestone heated floors are a chef's dream!
A master suite with walk-in closet plus three additional bedrooms and office complete the second level.
Not to be missed is the Office (lovingly known as the Captain's quarters) on the third floor with teak flooring, porthole windows and built in bar.

Countless evenings filled with ping pong,pool and air hockey can be enjoyed on the lower level. Not to mention the amazing wine cellar just steps away.

A short stroll from the Tokeneke Beach Club and only minutes to town this one of a kind home is not to be missed.
