SUNRISE. SUNSET. REPEAT! Some homes offer a view, but this one puts you on 2.6 ACRES and in the middle of it! Welcome to 12 Plum Bush Downs, with nearly 360-degree water views in a setting that changes with every tide, season and sunset. Built in 2015 and designed to capture this remarkable landscape, the home features a spacious, light-filled layout with contemporary style and finishes throughout. Walls of windows bring the views in from nearly every direction, while an oversized primary bedroom, two full baths and a spacious loft provide flexibility for guests, a home office or additional living space. Step outside to the expansive deck with retractable awning or enjoy the stone patio below. Plenty of storage for all the gear that comes with island living: surfing, sailing, beach days and watching the tides roll in and egrets pass by. The property also offers the potential opportunity for a private dock (buyer to perform their own due diligence). Solar energy and an extraordinary setting complete a property that is truly hard to replicate.
