Watch the sun go down over Hampton Bay from this stylish contemporary home providing the most spectacular sea views. Whatever the weather, the view each day is as captivating as the last. Unrivalled sunsets, dramatic storms - you will see it all from here.
The property is most deceptive with generous room sizes and designed with a clear focus on maximising the stunning coastal vistas.
Two reception rooms and a separate study provide great versatility to this property. The main reception room lies to the rear, taking full advantage of the sea views with bifolding doors opening out to a sea facing balcony. The lounge and study that sit at the front could easily be used as bedrooms if required. An open plan kitchen/diner with sea views and a very handy shower/utility room conclude the ground floor.
The views just get better as you go up and the first floor provides three double bedrooms (Master with en-suite WC) and a luxurious family bathroom. Picture windows in the master bedroom and family bathroom frame some of the finest coastal views you will find in the area.
Moving outside, a west facing rear garden has been landscaped with both low maintenance and entertaining in mind. Raised patios and a sundeck provide various areas to enjoy the sea views whilst basking in the sunshine and a firepit caters for those late evenings with a glass of something nice. From here, you have access to the basement which currently provides three fully decorated recreation rooms and extensive storage.
Ample off-road parking is provided at the front with space for a boat and access to an attached garage.
All in all, an amazing home offering an equally amazing lifestyle.
