One of the most Impressive Custom Built Canal Front homes to ever hit the market!! This 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home has everything you can dream of in waterfront living. To start with, the lot perhaps has the most usable space as any on Canal Drive. Parking for three to five vehicles in the driveway plus two or three in the garage. Rebuilt concrete bulkhead that captures a grandfathered boathouse, the only of it's kind. Currently the boat slips are set up to accommodate up to a 40' boat with a 20k pound boat lift. There is also two floating docks to accompany for 2 additional wet slips. The home was designed and built with detail and luxury in mind. On the ground level you have garage space wrapping around the entry way with elevator. Front and rear garage doors let you open your garage space straight into your backyard and dock oasis. On the second floor you will find the heart of the home. Kitchen, living, Dining, and Piano room are the highlights along with a butlers pantry, Powder room, and Laundry Room. The kitchen is a chefs dream with Thermador appliances, Solid Surface counters, Kitchen island, and butlers pantry with additional ice maker and beverage cooler. The living room is spacious and open to the kitchen. This area of the home is facing the water with double telescoping sliding doors that open your living area to a massive covered rear porch. The dining room is filled with natural light and currently host's a 12 seat table. The Piano room can be used many different ways but is a showstopper in its current use. On the third level you will find 4 bedrooms. Two facing the canal and two facing the oceanside. They are all generous in size and each side share jack and Jill full bathrooms. One bathroom boasting a tile walk in shower while the other showcases a soaking shower tub. The Fourth level of the home is all Master Retreat with the elevator to take you all the way there. You will find a master bedroom facing the water side of the home with a custom vaulted wood ceiling. Off the bedroom there is a sitting room. There are views from both of these rooms that will have you never wanting to leave. A master rear porch sits high above it's surroundings with views from one end of the yacht basin to the other. The master shower is beautifully appointed with zero entry tile shower, rain shower head, and dual vanity. Off the master shower is a large master closet with custom closet cabinetry. There is a wet bar in the hall way with built in refrigerator cabinets. To round off the master floor is a office/laundry room. This room can be used so many different ways but is an amazing space of have for a master floor suite. The entire home is Luxury Vinyl or tile. The trim detail from top to bottom is something to be seen for yourself. Even every covered porch, 5 in total, has black metal railing with teak top-cap. The home is only 2 years old and has never been rented or fully lived in. Like new construction. A waterfront home of this caliber has never hit the market to Carolina Beach's beloved yacht basin. You must see for yourself!
