No cars.
No meetings.
No buzz of fluorescent lights.
Just wind through the live oaks,
sunlight through 200-year-old glass,
and a slow pull of tide that says:
you're not in the city anymore.
8488 Middleton Point Lane is the kind of place people sketch on napkins and call their "someday."
Except this one's real.
Over 9 private acres.
A deepwater dock.
Structures full of soul.
And a home that hasn't been stripped, flipped, or ruinedjust cared for.
Simple. Grand. Quiet.
