About This Home

As of March 2022

Welcome to the stunning waterfront magic of Dolce Baia (sweet bay). This rare beachfront custom beauty located on private Prime Hook Beach, was originally built in 1970s, then extensively renovated in 2005 and promises to surprise and delight at every turn. From sunrises over the bay to sunsets over the Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge, savor all that nature has to offer -- dolphins, migratory birds, or just the bay and beach. Handcarved pilings, stained glass front door and ancient fossil greet you at the entry as you then ascent an amazing, gracefully curved, carved wood spiral stair to the main living area. An entertainer's dream, this home provides all that a gracious host desires: first, we begin with the heart of the home with its gorgeous central kitchen featuring a DCS/Fisher & Paykel gourmet stove with griddle, Thermador range hood, huge stainless sink and extensive cooking area/u shaped island with quartz countertops and extensive built-in drawers, cabinets and wine storage. Separate kitchen pantry features its own sink, refrigerator, and further storage. From the kitchen and its beautiful bay views, you'll find a gracious dining area to the right and first living area directly in front. The left side of the kitchen opens to another spacial jewel -- a huge second living area with full view windows that overlook an extensive oversized deck with walkway to the the private beach, lined with plexiglass rails to provide a completely unobstructed view of the bay along with its amazing sunrises and all that nature has to offer. From this living area and its views, enjoy the warmth of a propane fireplace or watch TV, both housed in a custom cabinet. Then, from the cozy U-shaped leather sofa, lift your gaze to an amazing atrium ceiling to the next level above. This upper "showcase" room not only provides stunning bay views, but a huge array of custom shelving for all of those items and their precious memories of a life well lived. 3 bedrooms with en suite or close access full baths ready for your vision, plus two bonus rooms that can be used as TV den and home office, then easily convert in to two bonus sleep areas. A glass elevator provides easy movement from floor to floor. Upper level primary/master suite is ready for your vision -- currently features two sleeping area and two full baths (one with jetted whirlpool), in addition to a central sunset viewing area. Entry level features 3 garage bays. with huge amounts of storage, along with 1/2 bath, workshop/hobby area and fitness area. See attached information sheet for more property history and information.
