Life’s a Beach, Indeed!

So much of this spacious contemporary home feels like the coziest resort you’ll never want to leave. From its salvaged Nantucket-sourced barnwood ceiling treatments to its tranquil water views upon entry, this 4,500-square-foot home has been thoughtfully updated throughout to provide a most relaxing beach-lovers lifestyle.

Located just steps from the waterfront in Edgewater, the home offers a main level open floorplan to maximize views and opportunities to entertain. This level has rich, chocolate hardwood floors throughout that counterbalance all the natural light from the living area’s many large windows and its bright and beachy interiors.

A gorgeous, vaulted ceiling is highlighted with a two-story, stacked stone, wood-burning fireplace complemented on either side by attractive built-ins. This area flows effortlessly into the home’s large, informal dining space, and then into the spacious, allwhite modern kitchen. A true cook’s dream, this room features a convenient center island and lots of counter space for prep work. Double ovens, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, two dishwashers, an extra sink, and multiple beverage refrigerators, make the room ultra-convenient for entertaining.

A light and bright sunroom is located through a set of sliders off the kitchen. In-ceiling heating keeps this space, with its rustic stone floor, cozy through all four seasons. An awesome mudroom with clutter-busting cubbies, laundry facilities, and a custom-designed pet recreation and lounge space, is another attractive feature of this home’s main level floorplan.

Upstairs, the new homeowners will enjoy a large, primary suite with vaulted ceilings, huge double closets, and a sleek, contemporary gas-powered fireplace. The all-white primary bath offers a double vanity and garden tub with an attractive wainscotting treatment throughout. The bedroom also features access to a private balcony overlooking the water. There are two additional bedrooms on this floor, one of which offers access to a private loft area for study or recreation above.

The property offers a charming, one bedroom au pair/ in-law suite above its four-car garage, to accommodate weekend visitors, or longer-term lodgers.

The home’s exterior space is extensive and features a large, in-ground pool and patio area, a separate grilling and entertaining area, a bocce ball court, and cozy fire pit area. The home’s waterfront amenities include a bulkhead that extends 110 feet, one covered boat slip and additional slips, a boat lift, and a floating jet ski dock, which all make life along Warehouse Creek and its convenient access to the South River, a beach, indeed.
