Property Description
This magnificent mid-century modern waterfront residence boasts a stellar wall of floor-to-ceiling windows highlighting glorious vistas of the sparkling heated swimming pool & spa & the sprawling manicured grounds bordered by the azure blue water of a colossal inlet of Galveston Bay - the 7th largest estuary in the United States. Ensconced on a coveted deep water site at the high point of a prestigious island lane, this unparalleled haven is idyllically positioned on almost an acre - encompassing 43,230 sq. ft. Masterfully crafted & curated, this architecturally significant icon is adorned with exquisite original bespoke finishes distinguished by wood beamed ceilings, 2 stunning gas-log fireplaces, antique brick interior walls, exceptional custom built-ins, numerous skylights & clerestory windows that bathe the strikingly impressive living spaces with glorious natural light. The fabulous open concept plan - perfectly suited to sophisticated coastal entertaining - flows seamlessly from the divine living & dining areas to the expansive bay vista terrace & pool deck. The superb gourmet chef's island kitchen is appointed with high-caliber appliances (including 2 Sub-Zero cabinet-front built-in refrigerators, a 6-burner cooktop & 2 built-in convection ovens), a butler's pantry & a walk-in pantry. The graciously large primary suite which opens to an intimate brick paver patio is enhanced by a luxurious bath accented by "his & hers" dual sink marble vanities, an oversized shower, spacious closets & custom built-ins. This incomparable retreat is a marquis property that represents the pinnacle of island living.
