The saying goes in real estate, ''location is everything''....this beautiful waterfront home in the desirable gated community of Albemarle Plantation brings you the TRIFECTA+1 of location: Golf course, marina and wide-open water views plus quiet cul-de-sac living! This one-owner custom-built home offers gorgeous views and the convenience of ONE-STORY LIVING! Built on a premium lot, this home offers you spectacular views with over 2, 750 square feet of living space plus a 240 square foot sunroom! Anticipation abounds as you enter the invitingly landscaped driveway with a side-facing two car garage. Step through your front door with glass sidelights to a foyer with a two-sided glass curio wall space. You're immediately drawn to the picturesque golf course and water views through the back of the home. An open-concept floorplan includes the spacious great room that combines multiple traditional living spaces - a living room, sitting space, an informal dining area off the kitchen and the full-sized kitchen with center island. A spectacular floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and hearth is anchored by custom cabinetry and display shelving. The kitchen and breakfast dining area offer panoramic views of the water, and an office desk/workspace.

Enjoy the formal dining room with beautifully papered walls for dinner parties or family meals. Stepping into the primary bedroom, the scenic views continue with a bay area surrounded by Pella windows, and a door access out onto the deck. Twin walk-in closets anchor the hallway leading to a grand primary bathroom with double vanities, a soaking tub and tiled walk-in shower and a vanity desk. A doorway then leads you to a spacious utility room with plenty of cabinets and access to the guest half-bath and exit to the large garage. The opposite wing of the home includes two more bedrooms (one can even be used for an office, craft area or even an additional den space). Those two rooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom and plenty of closet space in each room. The main living space/great room has ceiling fans, three skylights and large Pella casement windows to welcome natural light to fill the room. And, as an additional bonus for watching the natural beauty that surrounds this home, the golf course, the Sound and the marina, there's the fully enclosed three-season room with Trex flooring, a ceiling fan and sliding windows to keep you warm in the winter and enjoy summer breezes. All window coverings convey with the home, as well as a generator and stand-up freezer in the garage and a security system. A private well-fed irrigation system will keep your lovely landscaping looking beautiful all summer!
