House is on a block of mostly newer construction homes providing for a consistent ambiance for this waterfront neighborhood. It has a total light and airy contemporary feel with some traditional features within the beautiful hardwood floors, high ceilings and some special molding. The entrance has striking, beveled glass doors and stunning cabinet work on each side, flanking the formal living and dining room. Stepping through the front door, one will immediately notice the water view.
