This traditional five-bedroom, four-bath home beckons you to relax on its covered rocking chair front porch and breathe in salty breezes or nap in the swaying hammock. Inside you'll find open living spaces boasting hardwoods and loads of light from the skylights above the two-story ceiling. The comfortable gathering area, anchored by a decorative fireplace, is just across from the dining space. Savor your meals-with-a-water-view or step out onto the attached screen porch for a snack or coffee. The adjacent kitchen has a pretty wooden breakfast bar that seats four, loads of granite counter space and stainless appliances. It is backed by a cavernous pantry/laundry room. If alfresco dining is your enjoyment, scoot out the home's French doors onto the covered porch and step down to an oversize dining deck-the ideal spot to appreciate a good meal AND Mother Nature.

This level also homes an ocean-view Queen with private front porch access and a bunk room with three twins. These share a granite-tiled bath with a glassed bench shower.

Upstairs-in another bright, airy space accented by skylights-is a sitting area with a daybed. Unwind here or just outside on the sundeck and soak up rays as well as the spectacular seascape. This floor features two King Owner suites. The first showcases ocean vistas and provides private deck access, a vaulted ceiling, a enormous walk-in closet and a gorgeous ensuite. The second also offers private ocean deck access along with a sitting area, constructed-ins, a walk-in closet and a generous ensuite. Above the two-cart garage is the crofter. This very private space provides yet another suite with two Twins, sitting area and full bath.

Additional amenities include use of two golf carts, an outdoor shower and a central location convenient to the clubs, stores and the Conservancy and WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends.
