An architectural masterpiece boasting the finest craftsmanship and construction materials in a tidewater setting. On four acres with southern exposure, over 1,200 feet of waterfront secured where necessary with stone revetment, the property is improved by a dock with lift and enjoys 5 feet at mean low tide. Perennial flower beds, pool, screened gazebo, blue stone and brick patios all join in an inviting, bucolic setting. Thoughtfully built with convenience in mind for first floor living while providing ample second floor living rooms and guest suites, storage, as well as a studio office. The foyer sets the tone with significant architectural features evident from the crown moldings to the detailed mill-work. This home exudes quality and comfort in every detail. The hidden panel interior shutters in the living room, the radiant floor heating in the solarium, the reclaimed timbers through the vaulted ceiling in the kitchen and family room are a few details worthy of mention. Casual living and dining are off the kitchen with a large wood burning fireplace providing a spacious setting for informal gatherings with enough area to dine, revel and prepare meals together while quaint enough for quiet nights alone. Formal living and dining rooms, wet bar, butler's pantry, laundry room, powder room with shower off the pool terrace, large closets, storage and more storage is around every corner. The over sized garage opens to the utility room with a ramp and there are doorways throughout the first floor that are thoughtfully wider than usual. The master suite is wonderful with a high ceiling and broad views over Cemetery Cove and Town Creek that capture a quiet presence on the Shore. Too much to list to effectively describe, this home must be seen to be appreciated. It is an awe inspiring property and residence. From the architectural scale, scope and rendering of a timeless tidewater colonial to the exquisite taste in landscape design and quality in every aspect, this offering is certain to please the discerning buyer.
