Welcome to the Artist's Retreat - the perfect combination of traditional coastal charm and contemporary living. Located in the highly desirable and well-established community of Wolfe Pointe, this home is situated on over an acre of property, offering stunning views of the marshland and state park, showcasing the WW2 observation towers at Gordons Pond visible in the distance. Spread out over 5,000 square feet, this luxurious home features 4 bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths, an expansive open floor plan, hardwood floors, and a large bonus room over the garage. Additionally, there is a butler's pantry and a full finished basement. Upon entering, you will notice the 2-story ceilings throughout the foyer and great room. To the left is a stunning formal dining room, and to the right is a large private office. As you continue into the great room, you'll be drawn to the vast and expansive views of the marsh and the towers in the distance. A modern and contemporary corner fireplace offers a cozy spot to relax on those cool evenings at the beach. Just beyond the great room is the breakfast area, which leads you to the kitchen. Sleek Kitchen Aid appliances include a built-in wall oven with separate microwave, counter-depth refrigerator, and a 6-burner gas cooktop. The island is expansive and features a prep sink for the chef of the house. A separate butler's pantry provides additional cooking and prep space, featuring a second wall oven and refrigerator. Just beyond is the laundry room and entrance to the garage. The primary suite is located on the main level and offers views of the marsh and abundant wildlife. An updated bathroom features a double vanity, a large shower, a soaking tub, custom tilework and cabinetry, and a spacious walk-in closet with custom shelving. Upstairs, there are three guest bedrooms: the Commodore room with an en-suite bath, followed by the Sea Grass and Flamingo rooms, which share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. There is a finished bonus room over the garage, which could serve as a 5th bedroom or a playroom. Each of these spaces has been meticulously designed with custom wallpaper by Thibaut, creating a fun and playful theme that carries throughout each bedroom. The basement is fully finished, featuring a rear wall of windows and an ingress/egress door that allows for ample natural light to fill the space. In the center of the basement is a wet bar for parties/entertaining. Additional storage and a workshop can be found throughout the basement in addition to the finished workout studio. Please note that the basement is currently used as an active artist's studio. A custom-built shed can be used for additional storage of yard or beach equipment. The setting of this property offers abundant privacy while still taking full advantage of the spectacular views. Schedule a tour before it's gone!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
