A Watercolor home’s value just increased because the price was recently reduced by $104,000. Fewer than 100 yards separates this updated and impeccably maintained WaterColor home from Camp WaterColor. Designed by 30A architect Matt Savoie and built by Romair Construction, this beautiful home is the epitomy of quality and perfection in both its materials selection and craftsmanship. The amazing 22-foot tongue and groove wood paneled cathedral ceiling that greets you as you enter complements the open floor plan of its main living areas to create an ideal environment for entertaining. The comfortable great room area is anchored by an Isokern fireplace with gas logs and wall-mounted 50” Samsung flat screen television. The home has a stereo system with speakers throughout the entire first floor including in the great room, kitchen, master and back porch. Heart pine hardwood floors and horizontal tongue and groove wood paneling unite the living room area with the nearby dining room area and kitchen. Only superior manufacturers were considered for the stainless steel kitchen appliances and plumbing fixtures. A Wolf gas range with grill joins a Sub Zero refrigerator and wine cooler as well as a Bosch dishwasher. The farmhouse sink is outfitted with a premium Perrin & Rowe polished nickel faucet while granite counters appoint both the perimeter cabinets and island with breakfast bar. Behind the cabinet doors are pullout drawers, shelving and other built-in features. There is a convenient, hanging wall dish rack to display your best china. Beyond the kitchen is a convenient mud room area with enclosed washer, dryer and overhead storage cabinets opposite two large pantries. Outside the mud room area is a spacious screened porch with built-in speakers which leads to a 2-car covered carport and convenient, copper-piped outdoor shower. Lighted, built-in display alcoves flank the entry to the central hall and provide focal points for your favorite sculptures. Down the hall is a dual entrance powder room that is accessible from the living space as well as mud room area. At the end of the hall is the spacious private master bedroom, generously-sized with plenty of room for an armoire, dresser, king bed and seating area. Ample windows with overhead transoms illuminate the master with natural light, as do the dual French doors that lead directly to the screened porch. The master boasts a spacious, travertine-floored master bath with granite counters, dual sinks with polished nickel fixtures, a gracious spa tub, dual entry walk-in shower appointed with travertine tile and a luxurious overhead rain shower with accompanying hand held spray. No storage worries in the master as there is a large, walk in closet, which complements both the upstairs and downstairs hallway linen closets. There are three upstairs guest rooms, the first with a king sized bed and built in media cabinetry, in addition to a large closet. There is an ensuite bathroom with a huge walk-in shower that also opens to the hall to share with the second bedroom: a cozy room with a custom made, built in, full-size bed with three spacious storage drawers and a convenient closet. The foot of the bed features built in shelving for a great late-night video or reading collection and the room was designed to allow for easy addition of a full size bunk over the existing bed. The across the hall, large bunk room can accommodate a king or queen size bed as an alternative and has an ensuite bath with rimless, glassed in tub/shower. The upstairs baths are done in crisp white subway tile from Renaissance Tile in Atlanta, granite counters and polished nickel fixtures. The tall exterior doors are outfitted with Rocky Mountain hardware and the home has various, remotely controlled ceiling fans by Fanimation and Casablanca, as well as two Rinnai instant hot water units for plenty of relaxing, after beach showers. New, state of the art exterior cameras provide enhanced security and join additional features that include remote control of the thermostats, interior and exterior lighting, security system and cameras, all of which may be viewed or adjusted via smart phone or tablet. Sold furnished with some noted exceptions, this beautiful cottage is an excellent rental with a loyal following.
