This is cottage living at its best! And with 4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths in the main house, a two-story guest house and 734 sq ft of covered porches, this well-priced home formerly the compound of the developer of I'On -- is a unique offering in this close-in community. Lush tropical landscaping in the beautifully designed garden, complete with a pond, fountain and winding paths of crushed shells, mixes naturally with the Nantucket style cedar shake exterior and Bermuda shutters. Enjoy this serene space from either of your full-length double stacked porches, which in the Southern tradition are wide enough to allow for plenty of outdoor living. Inside, the recently re-mastered kitchen is a MUST SEE. No expense was spared as you'll see with the gorgeous soapstone countertops, a French-made Lacanche 3-burner gas range with removable warming plate, beautiful custom cabinetry and hardware, and glass-fronted cabinets with interior lighting. The Subzero refrigerator, with slide-out freezer drawer, blends in with matching cabinet panels. Beneath the Viking hood is a custom design of colorful mosaic tiles, evoking the ocean. With enough room for a large farmhouse-style kitchen table, this is a favorite gathering place of the home. The light-filled family room has a gas fireplace and a mantel adorned with crushed shells, giving the home the feel of an authentic beach cottage. True to the cottage tradition, every inch of space is used efficiently, with carved out crannies for books and artifacts, or a cozy but elegant powder room tucked beneath the stairs. On the second level are two bedrooms, each with their own baths. The third floor has two bedrooms and a large bath with a marble topped double vanity, with the current owner using both wings of the entire floor to more comfortably reflect a generous master suite. French doors across the entire back of the home on the first two levels lead out onto the porches overlooking the Southern facing garden. The proximity of a nearby lake has the effect of cooling the porches in summer and warming them in winter, making this outdoor space that much more comfortable throughout the year. With a gas line already in place for the outdoor grill, it's a cinch to fire up the barbeque on a moment's notice when those unexpected guests drop by. Over the 2-car garage is the 2-level guest house, which features a generous porch overlooking the garden, wood floors throughout both levels, a cozy living room and a kitchen outfitted with a mini dishwasher, small cooktop and built-in toaster oven and half-size refrigerator and freezer. Upstairs is the bedroom and marble-clad bath. Located just steps from the larger of two lakes in I'On, this home offers privacy yet easy access to all of the amenities of this award-winning community, including swimming pools and tennis club, walking trails, boat launch, fine restaurants as well as pub dining, shops and more. Note: Sq ft includes 588 sq ft living area in detached guest house.
