Some interior highlights include a separate formal dining room, beautifully updated kitchen that includes its own pantry, and all season sun room. The inviting family room showcases dramatic exposed-beam ceilings and a striking statement fireplace. Offering excellent versatility for the estate, this second home includes three additional expansive bedrooms, highlighted by its own private master suite, and either a fourth bedroom, office, or playroom in the lower level. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a remarkable, multi-home waterfront compound where every detail has been meticulously crafted to exceed expectations.
