Radiating from the grand foyer is an elegant formal living room featuring a gas fireplace, concealed wet bar, and pocket French doors that close to create a private retreat. Across the entryway, a spectacular formal dining room awaits, complete with a second glowing fireplace, oversized windows, and extensive wainscoting.

The comprehensively remodeled gourmet kitchen is anchored by a massive center island, crowned by magnificent, coffered wood-beam ceilings, and fitted with modern ivory cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. Step just off the kitchen onto a refined brick porch overlooking the lawn and wooded grounds. From the interior, the kitchen leads to elegant dual French doors which open into a light-filled sunroom, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views of the side garden. Serving as the heart of the estate, the sprawling family room features custom coffered ceilings, a gas stove fireplace surrounded by artisanal brick hearth, and extensive built-in library shelving. Completing the main level is an exceptionally large laundry suite, a half bath, and a bespoke mudroom accessed via a charming, covered porch that flawlessly echoes the home’s coastal heritage.

Adjacent is a magnificent executive office wrapped in expansive windows, offering panoramic tree-lined views, extensive built-ins, and direct access to the primary suite. Rounding out the second level are three impressively spacious bedrooms connected by a convenient Jack and-Jill bathroom, plus an additional hall bath. The home’s uncompromising elegance extends to the private third-floor suite, a sprawling retreat featuring traditional dormer window seats, a pristine new en suite bath, and an exceptionally large cedar closet.
