Overview

Description

Commanding one of the island's highest natural elevations, this meticulously renovated home offers sweeping water views from nearly every room, masterfully blending coastal serenity with contemporary luxury. Transformed by an acclaimed Atlanta interior designer, the residence features four spacious bedrooms and two baths, each showcasing custom furnishings and premium finishes. The kitchen dazzles with top-tier café-style appliances, while artisan details throughout strike the perfect balance between beachside charm and sophisticated design. Thoughtful touches abound, from handcrafted lighting fixtures to carefully curated materials underfoot. Custom-ordered woven shades adorn the windows, adding both privacy and coastal elegance. This turnkey property comes fully furnished and includes everything needed for island living—a golf cart, kayak, beach bikes, and yard toys—ensuring effortless enjoyment from day one. The outdoor spaces are equally impressive. The deck serves as the perfect perch for sunrise views, while spacious wraparound porches invite relaxed mornings spent savoring coastal breezes. A new aluminum floating dock combines durability and low maintenance, offering resistance to rust, easy installation, and adaptability to water-level changes—ideal for seamless waterfront living. Beneath the elevated home, you'll find a shaded retreat complete with comfortable seating areas, secure storage, and a large beach shower (historically unaffected by tides). Recent upgrades—including a new HVAC system and comprehensive interior/exterior renovations—deliver modern comfort and peace of mind. With its coveted dual-canal frontage, designer finishes, and unparalleled elevated position, this property presents a rare opportunity. Whether as a family retreat, vacation rental, or investment, this home merges architectural character, water-focused living, and thoughtful updates into something truly special.
