Description

The quintessential beach house on the quaintest street in the Gardens is waiting for you! This home, built in 1920 and re-imagined by architect Mark Asher in 2009, was raised and rebuilt from the ground up by Chet Asher. The cedar exterior with copper gutters, extended eaves, and huge front porch is the prequel to the amazing interior. The living room spans the full width of the building and its classic beauty is illuminated and protected by the full wall of hurricane-rated glass facing the ocean....The quintessential beach house on the quaintest street in the Gardens is waiting for you! This home, built in 1920 and re-imagined by architect Mark Asher in 2009, was raised and rebuilt from the ground up by Chet Asher. The cedar exterior with copper gutters, extended eaves, and huge front porch is the prequel to the amazing interior. The living room spans the full width of the building and its classic beauty is illuminated and protected by the full wall of hurricane-rated glass facing the ocean. American cherry hardwood floors throughout the home provide warmth that helps accentuate the intricate woodwork and numerous built-ins. Step through the dining room into the massive kitchen with cathedral ceiling, custom cabinetry, Wolf and SubZero appliances, center island, a seating area and a pantry. Upstairs, the intimate master suite includes a full bath, a laundry room with dressing table, and a front deck that is perfect for morning coffee while enjoying the expansive ocean views. On the lower level there is an entry hall, three generous bedrooms and two full baths. Out the side door is an enclosed beach shower, a fenced yard and stairs back up to the kitchen. Take the virtual tour, and then call to come and see this one-of-a-kind beach side beauty.
