Subtle granite tops compliment solid wood custom cabinetry with high end stainless appliances. A casual dining room sits perfectly between the kitchen and the delightful sun room which is cantilevered out over the bluff with a wall of windows in the treetops that allow southern sunlight to flood into the room year round. Also on the main level, the cozy family room/den with a beautiful solid wood custom entertainment center is the ideal space to relax in front of the television or step out onto the fabulous verandah perched high above the oak hammock that covers the sprawling rear yard. This covered open air space has served the owners as an outdoor living room positioned to catch the sea-breezes from the Atlantic just a few blocks away. The master suite leaves nothing to wish for with vaulted ceilings, ample closet space, privacy, views, and a fantastic bath with double vanities and a garden tub.
