Description

Truly an offer that will only come once....This fabulous home with very elaborate guest home has been admired by locals and visitors alike for years and is now on the market for the first time in decades. This unique offering includes the stunning main home, very complete 2nd home, elaborate outdoor living areas with pool and two incredible garages with storage for 6+ vehicles, all within three blocks of the beach. The primary home here was built in 1940 and while it retains the charm of that era, the owners have executed a stunning renovation that allowed them to update the systems of the home and add complimenting updates with high end fixtures and custom appointments. CONTINUED...The main home features three bedrooms and three full baths with three distinguished living spaces that include a beautiful living room with oak floors and marble fireplace, a poolside sun room with original tile floors and a casual, but sophisticated family room that opens to the poolside lanai as well as the sunset patio on the opposite side (see photos). The private master suite recently received a stunning renovation and features a beautiful new bath with soaking tub, double vanities and dedicated pool access. The chef's kitchen with natural gas appliances was designed to be an extension of the living space as it opens to the family room and overlooks the summer kitchen on the opposite side of the exterior wall. While the two homes on the property share a contiguous roofline, they do not share adjoining walls allowing for complete privacy. This design was configured around the creation of the sprawling courtyard which serves as a complete open air living space bathed in morning sun filtered through the limbs of ancient oaks. The second home has served the owners as a very complete guest home with wonderful volume ceilings over a casual great room layout with plenty of natural light. This home has a lovely eat-in kitchen, indoor utility room and two generous bedrooms with two baths. The owners of this property have taken advantage of the natural gas feed which services both kitchens, (2) laundry rooms, (4) fireplaces (2 interior, 2 exterior), Tiki torches, extensive summer kitchen and the quaint flickering exterior lamp lighting that has made this property a local landmark to passersby. In addition a sophisticated generator offers full power to both homes' powering kitchens and air conditioners with the endless supply of natural gas in the event of a power outage .Do not hesitate to view this property because while the photos are spectacular, it needs to be experienced in person to truly be appreciated. Not expected to last.
