Wake up to the sunrise looking out over Point Pleasant Park and McNabs Island, the water lapping and the shorebirds' calls. Close to downtown, this spectacular home on a private drive was built by two architects as their primary residence in 2008, encompassing all the benefits of thoughtful planning-from the orientation of the home which takes advantage of passive solar heating to the waxed concrete floor with radiant heat keeping floors warm even in double height rooms. The Areca palm, recessed into the floor, points to the natural feel of the whole home - warm tones, light hardwood, expansive windows offering views of ocean and the treed shoreline across the water, a primary bedroom aerie on the third level surrounded by water views and an open spa-like ensuite on the third floor. The main level has a convenient mudroom entry, leading into an open kitchen/dining room/living room with garden doors to decks on both sides (imagine the parties!), plus a gorgeous 3 piece bath tucked away to the side and storage galore in the entry and kitchen. See-through stairs adds to the open feel and leads to the second bedroom and a spacious mezzanine flex space overlooking the rooms below and the ocean view. Light hardwood is used throughout in flooring, stairs, plentiful built-in bookshelves, cabinetry and even the built-in bed and side tables in the primary bedroom, adding to the cohesive flow of the whole home. Outside, there is deep-water anchorage, an inclined path to enter the water - or you may choose to add a dock to the property - and beyond the lawn, an ocean-facing garden on a piece of Crown land, ensuring privacy and ongoing access to the water. Completed with high end systems like a Steffes electric hydronic furnace taking advantage of time-of-day metering, an extremely durable metal-clad SUPERVIC roof, an ECOFLO peat septic system, and a 1000 gallon cistern with well maintained filtering systems and UV light, this home is not only beautiful but also efficient.
