This property is more than just a homeit's a lifestyle. Meticulously crafted, brilliantly engineered, and ideally situated for luxury waterfront living. Originally purchased in 2006, the home underwent a full renovation down to the studs, replacing every major system and structural component, including electrical, plumbing, roofing, windows, and doors. Years later in 2020, with evolving needs and a long-term vision, the owner once again took the structure to the studs, completing a seamless and substantial addition. Every element was brought up to current code with further upgrades to insulation, HVAC, and all critical systems. The second and third stories feature solid 2x6 construction, and the additionincluding the garages and upper-level living spacewas engineered with unmatched precision. Approximately 100 pilings, each 30 feet deep and capped with 4'x4'x4' solid concrete, were installed beneath the addition, all tied together through the slab foundation. This impressive feat of structural engineering was completed by renowned expert Terry Anderson of Anderson Engineering, ensuring lasting stability and peace of mind.
