Perfectly sited on 1.65 acres along the water's edge, the property enjoys sweeping water views, a deep-water dock, an in-ground pool, and meticulously landscaped grounds designed for both grand entertaining and quiet moments of retreat.

A dramatic foyer introduces the home's remarkable interior, opening to an impressive great room with soaring vaulted ceilings, architectural columns, a custom fireplace, and expansive walls of glass that frame the ever-changing waterfront.
