Just five miles from the ocean, this spacious property has all the fixings for a perfect summer day. The long, tree-lined driveway opens up to the beautifully landscaped single-family home, and a yard that boasts a full-size basketball or tennis court, a stone patio with a fire pit and built-in grill, and a heated in-ground swimming pool.
At one end of the L-shaped pool, a steady trickle of water streams in from a custom fountain made of stones. Along another edge, a small pool house with light turquoise walls comprises a kitchenette, bathroom, and a changing stall, plus room enough to sit and have a snack or take a break from the midday sun.
Head toward the house, and find a screened-in porch with beachy beadboard panelling and plenty of room to entertain guests. Through a pair of glass sliders, the home’s interior is replete with natural light and covetable features: Skylights, fireplaces, window seats, and built-in shelves and cubbies at every turn.
In the chef’s kitchen, there are myriad aspects to brag about, such as a double oven, extra-wide windows, and two glass-doored hutches, but the coolest is the island. Topped with granite, one end extends into a breakfast bar, while the other gives way to a butcher block for food prep. The wooden prep space contains slots to stash knives safely, as well as a cut out that feeds into the trash to scrape scraps away with ease.
After a full day of swimming, grilling, playing, and cooking, there’s only one thing left to do: Retire to the luxe master bedroom. The suite includes private deck access, and a double-sided fireplace, which you can see from the bed, or from the Jacuzzi bathtub, sunken into a corner of Carrara marble.
