The custom color-stained cedar shake exterior, thoughtfully selected tile throughout, bespoke lighting package curated from Restoration Hardware, Palecek, Pottery Barn, Visual Comfort, and Hinkley, and custom millwork at every turn—this home whispers sophistication rather than screams "coastal trend."

Positioned on one of Bayview Park's most coveted waterfront streets along a serene pond inlet with direct access to the open bay, this residence offers far more than just square footage.

The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen space flows seamlessly with floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors opening to a large covered porch with unobstructed bay views. The kitchen is outfitted exclusively in the finest finishes: paneled Thermador appliances, 36" gas range, dual temperature wine fridge, custom range vent hood, walk-in pantry, and a generously scaled island with ogee-edge quartz surfaces—even the most reluctant cook would be inspired here.

Ascending to the upper floors reveal four generous bedrooms, most with ensuite bathrooms and distinctly individual character. One functions as a secondary primary suite—because in a home this thoughtfully designed, there's no competing for space. Rear bedrooms access a covered rear balcony with water views. A warm den space with custom wallpaper mural and wooden ceiling accents offers an intimate retreat, while a custom laundry room with bespoke cabinetry and quartz surfaces elevates the practical to the elegant. Heading to the crown jewel…the roof deck, you're greeted by a charming custom arched bar with wallpaper detail, beverage center, and sink. The main event: a 360-degree rooftop sanctuary with sweeping views of water in every direction. Dual HVAC systems, a conditioned attic, garage ready for EV charging or car lifts for the serious collector. This is a rare, authentically luxurious coastal masterpiece.
