Bathed in natural light, the home is thoughtfully designed to maximize both comfort and coastal drama. The top level is the heart of the home, featuring a stunning great room with spacious living and dining areas framed by a striking wall of windows and surrounded by oceanview decks. The chef’s kitchen is ideal for entertaining, equipped with two ovens, a large cooktop, two refrigerators, two dishwashers, double sinks, a wine cooler, pantry, and a unique curved counter with seating. A gas fireplace adds warmth and ambiance, while a computer workstation, game table, and three ensuite bedrooms—two with ocean views—complete this level. An elevator services all floors for added convenience. Recent upgrades include a 2024 fortified roof, both heat pumps replaced in 2023 with transferable 12-year warranties, exterior paint in 2024, Andersen sliding doors re-weatherstripped, two oversized 8' sliders replaced in 2024, and new beach walkway and steps in 2022. The mid level hosts four additional oceanview ensuite bedrooms, including one designed for accessibility with a wide doorway, roll-in shower, and roll-under vanity. A standout children’s suite features two built-in Duo bunks (extra-long twins over queens), a private bath, adjoining playroom, and ocean views. A charming twin bedroom enjoys easy access to a stylish hall bath. Nearly every bedroom opens to a private deck, most with sea vistas. Entertainment shines in the recreation room and sports bar, complete with a pool table, bar seating, refrigerator, ice maker, dishwasher, and two TVs—part of a total of 12 TVs throughout the home. The oversized laundry room is equally impressive with double washers and dryers, a large sink, and abundant cabinetry. Outdoor living is exceptional. A hot tub on the southeast deck overlooks the HEATED SALTWATER pool and ocean beyond. The ground level includes an exercise room with universal gym, recumbent bike, TV, and half bath. Outside, enjoy a true coastal retreat with a poolside half bath, two outdoor showers, and a serene oceanfront pool oasis—perfect for soaking up the sun, salty breezes, and the rhythm of the waves.
