A truly rare offering on the Intracoastal Waterway--this one-of-a-kind waterfront estate is distinguished not only by its premier setting, but by something exceptionally uncommon: the property ownership extends all the way to the boat dock - an extraordinary feature that sets it apart from nearly every other waterfront property on the market The sense of arrival is immediate, guided by a circular concrete drive and a canopy of majestic live oaks that signal the property's quiet permanence. This solid brick residence stands as a testament to architectural integrity, featuring antique heart pine floors, plantation shutters, and meticulous millwork from the deep baseboards to the ornate ceiling moldings. Inside, the residence unfolds with a chef's kitchen equipped with a Viking range, an informal breakfast retreat overlooking the water, and dedicated service cabinetry. The hosting experience is elevated by a formal dining room with elegant chair rails and an adjacent butler's service station. In the great room, a wall of sliding glass doors with transom windows disappears to unite the interior with the terrace, while built-ins frame the fireplace for a sense of composed warmth.

A stunning library and office features its own fireplace, custom built-ins, and views overlooking the ICW, while the upper level hosts a comprehensive media and billiards room. The outdoor lifestyle is unrivaled. A private deepwater dock with a brand-new boat lift provides direct access to the ICW.
