An impressive living room highlights original pecky cypress beams and a fireplace, grounding the interiors in texture and history. Outside, a pool is complemented by an elevated covered terrace that flows naturally into the heart of the home: a gourmet kitchen appointed with premium Miele appliances, a custom oversized onyx island with seating, and brand new terrazzo flooring underfoot. Each of the three bedrooms features new wood flooring and custom-crafted closet doors, while updated plumbing and electrical systems and impact glass throughout bring modern reassurance to a historically detailed renovation. The result feels both refined and deeply personal—an address designed for leisurely afternoons and easy, elegant entertaining.

Outdoors, a sprawling 1.02-acre setting frames the day-to-day experience with an added sense of calm and separation from the street, lending the property a rare privacy for the area. From morning coffee with the water as your backdrop to evenings spent enjoying the quiet that comes with a premier lot, the lifestyle here is defined by space, seclusion, and the simple luxury of a true waterfront address.
