The quality of this home's building standard would be impossible to replicate. A gracious entrance with high ceilings, custom millwork and wide planked floors. The sun -filled kitchen with custom cabinetry, double islands, high end stainless steel appliances and Paris Ceramics limestone heated floors are a chef's dream! A master suite with walk-in closet plus 3 add'l bedrooms and office complete the second level. Not to be missed is the Office (lovingly known as the Captain's quarters) with teak flooring, porthole windows, built in bar not to mention the wine cellar just steps away. A short stroll from the Tokeneke Beach Club and minutes to town, this home is one-of-a-kind.
