A Waterfront Craftsman with a Private Dock and Elevated Detail
Set on the water with a private dock, this 3,500 square foot Craftsman-style home offers the rare combination of timeless architecture, high-performance construction, and polished modern design. Every space feels intentional, with impeccable trim work and distinctive features that create a home that is as visually striking as it is comfortable to live in.
When you enter the main living spaces, the craftsmanship immediately stands out. Wide plank flooring grounds the open-concept layout, while exposed beams, coffered ceilings, and bold feature walls add depth and dimension throughout the home. Custom lighting and high-end plumbing fixtures reinforce the elevated finish level, and a modern staircase railing with powder-coated steel and tempered glass introduces a sleek, contemporary contrast to the warmth of the Craftsman aesthetic.
At the center of it all is a chef’s kitchen designed to impress and perform. KitchenAid Professional appliances, including a 36-inch six-burner gas range, anchor the space with premium capability for everything from weeknight meals to entertaining. The surrounding finishes and thoughtful layout make this kitchen both a statement and a workhorse, with the open flow keeping everyone connected, whether cooking, dining, or gathering.
Luxury here is not only about appearance. The home was built with comfort and efficiency in mind, featuring Pella double-hung windows, foam insulation, and an encapsulated crawlspace with a dedicated dehumidifier system for added peace of mind. Custom closets throughout provide tailored storage solutions, and the irrigation system supports vibrant landscaping season after season.
For entertaining, the experience continues indoors with a private media room built for true movie-night comfort, complete with plush recliners, an 86-inch TV, and a stylish dry bar that’s equally suited for game day snacks or an evening cocktail.
Outdoor living is the finishing touch, and it’s every bit as compelling as the interior. A two-tier deck overlooks the water and creates multiple spaces to relax, host, or simply take in the view. A cozy outdoor fireplace with dual wood storage boxes extends the enjoyment well beyond summer, turning crisp evenings into a reason to linger a little longer by the water.

Downstairs, the finished lower level expands the possibilities. A large bonus room, full bath, bedroom, laundry area, and an additional flex space provide room to spread out, work from home, or host extended stays. With its own exterior entrance, this level offers a comfortable sense of separation when needed, along with excellent storage, including a very large walk-in storage room.
Outside, the experience continues with a back deck, a stone firepit area, and a private half-acre yard framed by mature trees and established flower gardens. Many of the renovations and upgrades were completed in 2018 with a clear focus on maintaining the home’s historic character, and a brand-new HVAC system installed in summer 2025 adds valuable peace of mind.
