Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Custom waterfront estate home with guest house and deep water dockage situated on 1.2 Acres of land high above the Halifax River. This fabulous home has just received a ''no stone unturned'' renovation where the owners demanded the absolute best in appointments, products, and construction techniques. The designer perfect finished product presented to you today is the result of a lengthy project that cost in excess of $1 million and it truly must be seen in person to be appreciated. As you approach the main home down a long winding drive, past the guest house, you will find yourself at the base of a lovely curved staircase of formed concrete that carries you to the sprawling morning terrace that sits just east of the front door. Enter the home and into the grand foyer before stepping into the spectacular waterfront parlor where a limestone fireplace sits beneath soaring cathedral ceilings with handsome wood beams. Three sets of mahogany French doors with glass panes allow for fantastic views of the water. Open them up and allow indoors and outdoors to become one with the waterfront lanai that serves as the outdoor living and dining space beneath a canopy of ancient oak trees. A fourth door on the lanai opens into the waterfront kitchen which was designed to function as the ultimate chef's space and double as an entertainment and relaxation space with panoramic views. The kitchen leaves nothing to be desired with top of the line appliances set into solid wood custom cabinetry appointed with a stunning selection of quartz. The main home features four bedrooms plus office and three and 1 half baths including a terrific waterfront primary suite with private waterfront balcony, magnificent luxury bath and walk-in closet. A second waterfront suite with a private bath is adjacent and shares commanding top floor views of the water. Downstairs, two sizable guest rooms are drenched in natural light and share a lovely new bath. Garage space was a priority in the original design and the main home features a garage that measures 35' x 24', however the detached, air conditioned collectors' garage just across the drive measures 37'x 25' with lovely showroom floors and a half bath. An interior stairway leads to the complete two bedroom guest home with kitchenette and a charming bath. Guests can open beautiful french doors to take in views of the gardens in the shade of an impressive orchid tree that blossoms deep purple blooms each spring and listen to the waves crash the shore from the Atlantic Ocean just three blocks to the east. The deep-water dock was recently constructed by the highly regarded, third generation marine contractors at Custom Built Docks with two 20,000 lb boat lifts. Ideally situated on a deep water shoreline within the no-wake zone.
