A feast for the eyes and imagination awaits you in this elegant waterfront home inspired by antique villas along the Mediterranean shore. Brilliantly designed by architect Richard Garfinkle and exquisitely detailed, the home is sited perfectly to take advantage of the views from its lushly landscaped, half-acre lot with 156 feet seawall on protected boating water. Water views from most every room extend east down picturesque Matheny Creek and west to the fabulous open bay with spectacular sunsets. Guests will enjoy the beauty of formal French gardens as they arrive at your gracious front entry and step through the magnificent doors into a world of romance. The impressive interiors offer 10-15 foot ceilings, stunning chandeliers, finely crafted finishes and crown moldings, custom Anderson windows, two gas fireplaces, and gleaming Saltillo tile, hardwood, and marble floors. Every room is carefully detailed, a work of art, from the domed ceiling over the dining table to the stately windows of the living room, from the classical proportions of the master suite with luxurious bath to the casual great room. Enjoy waterfront living on your sunset porch, relaxing in your spacious pool and spa or boating from your private dock. Exceptionally built of the finest materials and featured with every amenity, this home can adapt to the style of any discriminating buyer, whether retaining its old world ambiance or inspiring a new interpretation of waterfront elegance.
