Beautiful custom-designed, quality-built home with breathtaking views of the historic, tidal St. Croix River in Oak Bay. This light-filled home offers a sense of space, calm, and connection to nature. Expansive windows upstairs and down capture the everchanging tides, dramatic sunsets, and wildlife in every season. In spring, eagles soar overhead, and shy foxes appear at the edge of the woods. Winter brings gentle snowfalls that transform the home into a snow globe. The interior features custom millwork throughout, herringbone oak flooring in the kitchen and great room, solid oak floors in the ground floor primary bedroom, and 8-foot solid core doors. French doors add elegance and openness, while soundproofing in all interior walls and floors ensures peace and privacy. The kitchen boasts cherry cabinetry and Carrera marble countertops. The primary bath is beautifully finished with Carrera marble vanity, marble tile, and a custom-designed layout. Travertine floors enrich the foyer, powder room, and laundry. The lower level includes more custom cabinetry, 8-foot doors, and a built-in vacuum system. A three-season porch and a deck with unobstructed tempered glass railings invite outdoor living. Set on nearly three acres of private, manicured grounds with perennial gardens, this home also includes a garage and carport. Stairs leading to the beach is a perfect spot to launch your kayak for an evening sunset paddle. A rare blend of craftsmanship, comfort, and natural beauty. (id:8860)
