Views! Views! Views! This dramatic Cliff May-designed oceanfront compound with two guesthouses on approximately 1.9 acres and 131 feet of beach frontage is exceptionally private, with expansive outdoor spaces to complement tranquil interiors. Sitting behind gates, the property welcomes visitors with a manicured garden, circular driveway, and a meandering waterway with bridges and waterfalls. The four-bed, five-bath main house, with a two-car garage and ocean views from nearly every room, has a distinctive soaring glass wall that illuminates the interior stairway. Warm and inviting rooms have beamed ceilings, stone and hardwood floors, and wide French doors that open onto vast verdant lawns, gorgeous mature trees, and panoramic ocean views. A huge ocean-view living/sitting/dining great room with massive beams has a large fireplace and a wall of glass doors onto a brick portico with a sheltered outdoor dining area. The kitchen is fully equipped for entertaining, with an approximately 4.3x4.3 tiled interior refrigerator, a large two-tier island, a breakfast bar with seating indoors or out, and glass accordion doors that open to the patio and outdoor dining area. Also on the main floor is an enormous billiards/entertainment/media space with a full wet bar and French doors to an outdoor patio and gardens.
