Description
Luxury waterfront home on the largest bayfront parcel in the town of Fenwick Island. This exquisitely designed, custom-built home with a pool sits on a half-acre peninsula with nearly 400 feet of waterfront, and is just a short, easy walk to the beach. Carefully crafted with the highest level of quality and attention to detail, this remarkable property was architecturally designed to capture stunning water views from every room. Elegantly appointed with high-end furnishings and finishes, this spacious residence boasts over 6,500 square feet of living space, featuring geothermal HVAC, six generously sized bedrooms, five full luxury bathrooms, and a powder room. Step through the front door into the expansive great room, where walls of windows showcase breathtaking bay views with bright southern exposure. The meticulously crafted coffered ceilings further highlight the superior craftsmanship that went into designing this exceptional home. Multiple sets of full glass Anderson double doors line the bayfront, opening onto an expansive covered lanai with dual remote controlled Varisol Awnings with solar drop screens and a waterfront hardscaped patio, complete with a heated saltwater pool. Inside, the gourmet chef’s kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances, including an eight-burner gas range, multiple sinks, and dual dishwashers, making entertaining effortless. The eat-in kitchen is conveniently positioned just off the living room, with easy access to the formal dining room, which offers equally impressive views of the open bay and adjacent corner canal. Also on the main level is one of two primary bedrooms, along with an oversized laundry room and a powder room. Upstairs, there is a second family room, complete with a wet bar and gas fireplace as well as a second primary suite with a private bayfront balcony. Four additional bedrooms and three full bathrooms complete this level. The oversized three-car garage includes a huge storage area above. This home also features a private boat slip with an electronic lift and two smaller lifts accommodating up to four jet skis. The bulkhead was upgraded in 2024 and the exterior has been enhanced with lush landscaping, irrigation and custom lighting. Additional features include an audio/visual system that was upgraded in 2023, central vacuum system. Situated on a half-acre parcel, this exceptional bayfront retreat was built to meet CAT 3 hurricane standards and was featured in both Coastal Style Magazine and on The Beach to Bay Cottage Tour. Offering the perfect balance of privacy and convenience, this incredible home is just a short bike ride to exceptional restaurants and boutique shops of Fenwick Island, yet is tucked away at the end of a quiet, non-thru street within the town limits.
