This incredible waterfront gem personifies the idea that homes are canvases of our individual lives and experiences. Situated on a stunning lot with commanding views of the Pasquotank River at the end of a cul-de-sac street, this truly unique home is modeled after old world Europe, inspired by the owner's extensive career travels. From the first step inside the stately front doors, it's abundantly clear that heart and soul planned every space with no detail overlooked, a perfect blend of charm and modern luxury. The floor plan feels open and airy, yet there are plenty of spaces to tuck away. You'll find inspiration from a Scottish Castle in the foyer, nods to English mills and farm houses in the beams & oversized fireplace in the great room, and other charming old-world touches throughout. The kitchen cabinets were custom made and imported from England, and hand painted faux finishes lend a sense of authenticity to the space. The first floor offers a great room with a 24' ceiling as the heart of the home, flanked by a charming kitchen and both formal and casual dining spaces. The handsome library is a reader's delight, complete with a fireplace, wet bar, and rich, warm paneling and woodwork. The master suite is exquisite with cathedral ceilings, wooden beams, and a wood stove replica - all flooded by abundant natural light. Upstairs, there are 3 guest bedrooms - 2 with their own private balconies - and a common gathering area overlooking the downstairs great room. Outdoor living spaces abound with a side porch, stone patio, gazebo and pier beckoning all to savor the joys of waterfront living. The community boat basin is on the property's southern side, affording privacy with waterfront & lush established greenery on 3 sides. Elegance, fine craftmanship, and unique charm give this home a real soul! One can't help but smile at the thought given each detail, and years of a happy, adventurous life are nearly palpable within the walls. Come offer your family the same!
