House proud
Built in 1989, this home has been renovated inside and out in the past two years with major upgrades and stylish finishes. With 250 feet of direct waterfront access, it offers a private park-like setting with professionally landscaped grounds and an expansive view to the water.
“One of the owners is a professional landscape architect, so there has been a lot of emphasis on creating a retreat,” says Kristy Naddell, the Douglas Elliman agent representing the listing. The grounds include more than 170 mature “green giant” arborvitae, holly hedges and crape myrtles with custom water fountains placed throughout “to create a tranquil, Zen-like atmosphere.”
What’s the plan?
The entry foyer is flanked by a 154-square-foot ensuite bedroom and a 104-square-foot office. It opens into the open-format living and dining areas that adjoin the kitchen, offering expansive back yard views through the sliding doors and over the nearly 600-square-foot deck. The living room is anchored by a gas-fueled fireplace. The upper floor is dedicated to three bedrooms, two of which are nearly the same size and share a bathroom; the third 229-square-foot ensuite primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet, wood-burning fireplace and its own sitting room adding another 90 square feet of space.
What’s cooking?
The 252-square-foot chef’s kitchen features shiplap-paneled walls, twin Bosch refrigerators, a Bosch dishwasher, ice maker, warming oven and an Azzurro-blue Bertazzoni six-burner stove and grill. The custom mission-style cabinets are made by Legacy and are topped with white quartz; the center island is designed with butcher-block finishes, an integrated sink and dishwasher, and seats at least four. Passage from the kitchen offers access to the attached garage and second-floor loft space.
What else?
Home improvements include installation of six skylights, new windows, custom-milled doors and roof, other new systems. The loft space above the two-car garage has been skillfully renovated into a family room / TV space and has a certificate of occupancy.

Agent’s callout
“This home has a view with spectacular sunrises and amazing unobstructed views to the water,” Naddell says. The inside, she adds, is no less spectacular, with the owners, who “have impeccable taste,” paying meticulous attention to detail and finishes to every room.
