Property description
This stunning oceanfront Colonial commands enviable views of the dramatic Magnolia coastline, Norman’s Woe, the Outer Harbor and Eastern Point. The home was lovingly renovated and expanded by CBT Architects. The gracious Living Room is anchored by a stone fireplace and the formal Dining Room is surrounded by windows. The fantastic Cook’s Kitchen is bright and airy, with requisite high-end appliances, center island, soapstone counters and a French door leading to a deck, the perfect spot for afternoon sundowners. The fantastic Master Suite features built-in bookshelves, window seats, walk-in closet, dressing room and gorgeous nautically-themed bath. The lower level has west-facing sun room and family room with multiple doors leading out to the stone terrace and the magnificent grounds. A two car detached garage, circular drive and steps to the shore round out this remarkable property.
