An exceptional waterfront masterpiece - the finest of homes in which modernity has enhanced the traditions of gracious livability. This luxurious residence was built to exacting specifications by a noted local builder and his wife as their signature homeplace on the banks of deep and scenic Smith Creek near Oriental. Low maintenance in design for a traveling lifestyle and perfectly arranged for two to live comfortably. The magic of the layout is that it also is large enough (with many multi-function and expandable spaces) for larger families and lavish entertaining. Three levels of living spaces are served by a private elevator for ease of access. The ground level is practicality itself - A three car garage with a workshop area yields entry to a large waterside office w/heat/air/TV and gun rack. A step up to the luxurious ground living area, which features a huge multi-purpose room, full bath & a large luxurious sauna. Up from there is the main living floor with its breathtaking waterviews and a myriad of features like a living room hearth wall - up tempo with its tile, TV & horizontal gas FP. A full-perimeter light valance adds contemporary flair and this large living area flows into the gourmet kitchen. A 9'8'' granite island, counters & luxury appliances await the chef and it allows easy contact with those in the living room. A waterside sunroom is a great draw - a 2nd fireplace, lots of windows and direct access to the 11'5''' x 13'5'' grilling sundeck and 14'4'' x 13'4'' screened porch! The master bedroom is nearby with an immense WIC & glorious master bath (tub and walk-in shower)! The top floor has two big bedrooms flanking a family room & hobby area. Four walk-in attics for storage/expansion. So much to see: stunning views, fenced run, standby generator, concrete drive, RV parking area with full hookups, concrete pier w/ 9' x 30' seating area and boatlift! The setting is lovely and the home so compelling! You deserve to live this luxurious waterfront dream!
