Cross the Causeway Bridge and head north to this lagoon front home in the hamlet of Harvey Cedars. The custom-pavered driveway flanked by beautiful river rock planters welcomes you. This property boasts nucedar siding coupled with board-and-batten trim with dual balconies nestled under the gables. Located towards the northern end of LBI, Harvey Cedars is a wonderful town, providing a quieter setting for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle. Visit Sunset Park for weekly concerts as well as the exceptional eateries in its downtown walking area. The landscaping is a site to behold – follow the bluestone stepping stones from the front porch past the flower beds surrounded by 3 feet of cultured stones – through the gated fence to the back yard -- actually, your own private paradise. The path brings you past the large deck to the full outdoor kitchen – complete with granite countertops, grill and beverage center. The 12’ x 28’ heated saltwater pool is surrounded by a stunning travertine patio and artificial turf. (The first season pool maintenance and winterizing AND a pool cover is included). Of course, there is an outdoor shower, and the access to the bath and laundry room is conveniently from the deck. 80’ of newer vinyl bulkhead at the dock, as well as a pedestal w/electricity and water complete this boater’s dream. Through the thermatru classic-craft mahogany double front door it is impossible to miss the attention to detail. Legacy-Avarom European white Oak 6’ wide-plank flooring with tile in all baths and laundry room. Crown molding throughout the house – coffered ceilings in both the second-floor master bedroom and the family room and raised panels up all stair walls. Stairs and rails are Red 0ak w/white poplar spindles. A tray ceiling in the first-floor owner’s suite with shiplap on the bed wall. Custom closet shelving, shiplap in multiple rooms, a three-stop elevator and a beautiful fireplace complete the picture of quiet luxury. The kitchen is a chef’s delight! A Sub-Zero 42’ French-door refrigerator, Wolf 36’ range, Jen-Air dishwasher and microwave make light of any task. A huge center island will become the “center of the home”. Gather around to lend a hand to dinner, snack on appetizers, or a quick breakfast before you start your day. Six bedrooms (including two master suites on separate floors), six and one half baths w/custom vanities and granite countertops, and high-end fixtures and two separate gathering areas offer plenty of space for all your family and guests. A complete home automation system including security system w/4 cameras and monitor, central vac w/hideaway hose system, TV wiring w/HDMI, 8 sets of speakers and a whole house WiFi extender makes this house a tech’s dream. A 10-year home warranty from Quality Builders Warranty Corporation gives you complete peace of mind. This is the house that dreams are made of - the house of YOUR dreams!
