In the prestigious Emerald Bay community, this bayfront home epitomizes elegance and luxury. Positioned on a private cul-de-sac street, the property offers breathtaking views of the bay, accessible via a private pier leading to a hydraulic lift boat dock. The home's grandeur is immediately apparent upon entry, with a dramatic circular staircase and an enormous living area that seamlessly flows into the dining room, overlooking the large swimming pool. This residence boasts two living areas, with the second floor versatile enough to serve as a fifth bedroom, thanks to its closet space. Each bedroom offers stunning bay views and opens onto expansive balconies, perfect for entertaining or private enjoyment. The master bath is a highlight, featuring a corner whirlpool tub and extra-large walkin shower. Granite countertops grace all cabinets, while marble inlaid accents on ceramic tiles add a touch of sophistication to the baths. The bedrooms are comfortably carpeted, and the kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances and uplighting on cabinets. The home's design maximizes natural light and views, with large 8-ft. doors and 12-ft. ceilings on the first floor. Recent updates include repainting the master bedroom wing, repainting all the living and dining area and upstairs hall and bedroom, replacing A/C units and hot water heaters, and resurfacing all exterior second-floor balconies. The seller has also replaced all dryvit stucco with new hard coat and repainted the exterior white last year. The property's amenities are as impressive as its interior, featuring a gunite swimming pool with remote-controlled lighting and a wood dock with a hydralic Lift for a bay boat cruiser. Two jet ski lifts are also off the Dock. The 8-ft. metal front doors create a dramatic entrance, allowing sunlight to flood the main living space and dining room. The oversized three-car garage includes extra storage areas. All stainless steel appliances and furniture convey with the sale, except a few select paintings. This home is an ideal match for those seeking a luxurious bayfront lifestyle in a golf course community, with ample space, numerous bedrooms and extensive storage options. The combination of privacy, elegance and breathtaking views make this Emerald Bay property a rare and coveted find.
