IT'S ALL ABOUT THE WATER. Rarely available second-row Port Royal Sound deepwater views set the tone for this charming, unparalleled coastal retreat, where moonrises and sunrises become part of daily life. Just steps away, the mile-long Port Royal Sound Beach Path invites morning walks with friends-two- or four-legged-leading all the way to the sandy shores of Pine Island. Beautifully renovated and thoughtfully updated, the home features an open-concept design flooded with natural light. Vaulted ceilings and heart-of-pine floors create bright, inviting interiors. The show-stopping kitchen centers around a dramatic quartzite island, perfect for gathering and entertaining. Beyond four bedrooms, enjoy a wealth of cozy living spaces: a great room with fireplace, reading nook, morning room, dining room, screened porch with removable vinyl windows, expansive bonus room, Port Royal Sound viewing deck, and private rear deck. The first-floor primary suite offers a luxurious bath with Jacuzzi, doorless Travertine shower, granite finishes, and skylights. An architectural masterpiece-not a stock plan-this meticulously maintained home boasts exceptional landscaping for privacy, new 3-person infrared sauna, central vacuum, new roof (2016), and new water heaters (2020). Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac with friendly neighbors, it's ideal for both entertaining and relaxed family living. A true gem-this one must be seen to be believed.
