Yes, you can have it all! Live close to the Shore, minutes to the beach, Boardwalk and Casinos, yet have a private oasis for your family and guests. This stunning 6,200 sf custom home was built to stand the test of time, from the 2 x 6 walls, total brick exterior facade, even 2,500 hurricane clips! This home has been lovingly and consistently maintained with over $250,000 in improvements in just the last few years. From the moment you walk thru the front door you can't help but be impressed by the magnificence of this home including the grand entry foyer with soaring cathedral ceilings, Carrera marble floors and custome curved oak stairway. The 4 huge paladium windows, one at the stair landing as well as one over the front door and one each in the living and dining rooms allow natural lights to pour into the front of this home. Off the foyer is the sunken formal living room with real oak floors to the right and a huge formal dining room to the left with a unique two story ceiling with curved wall. This spacious & elegant room is open but formal enough to host the most impressive dinner parties. Then as you follow the foyer back it will take you to the heart of the home consisting of the gourmet kitchen, informal dining area, sunken family room and sunroom. Among the many features of the kitchen are the center island with brand new black mat and gold pendant lighting, a built in downdraftcooktop with griddle and grill and a brand new prep sink. There's custom birch wood cabinets, granite counter tops and top of the line appliances including a separate built in Subzero Refrigerator and separate built-in Freezer with custom wood panel fronts that seemlessly blend with the cabinets. There's also a newly replaced french door stainless double oven, new stainless dishwasher and the most amazing 42" stainless sink that sits in front of the glorious corner window overlooking the park like setting that is your back yard. Tucked off the back end of the kitchen is a huge walk in pantry room with tons of storage and a built-in butlers pantry and coffee bar. At the other end of the kitchen (and overlooking the family room) is the entertainment bar with custom cabinetry, bar sink, wine fridge, granite counter and marble backsplash. ALso at this end is the breakfast area for informal dining (but large enough to seat a family). The sliding door leading to the back yard is in this area with easy access to the outdoor amenities, making entertainment and family gatherings a breeze! All of this overlooks both the sunroom and the sunken family room. These two rooms share a 2 sided gas fireplace that can be enjoyed in either room.
