With a newly reimagined dock and a private beach style shoreline, the property offers a level of boating access, scale, and permanence that discerning buyers often wait a lifetime to secure.The residence unfolds across more than 4,600 square feet of thoughtfully curated interior space, where timeless materials meet architectural volume. Tile flooring flows seamlessly throughout, complemented by soaring vaulted ceilings that create a sense of openness without sacrificing warmth.
