Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on Dunbarton Drive, this deep-water estate offers the ultimate privacy with no through traffic and a gated entrance. Designed by Ed Cheshire in his early career. A grand circular drive centered around an elegant fountain welcomes you to a property where every detail has been thoughtfully designed and impeccably maintained.
Step inside and your gaze is immediately drawn to floor-to-ceiling windows that frame breathtaking panoramic views of Dunbar Creek and the expansive marsh beyond. With its western-facing orientation, this home is perfectly positioned for spectacular sunsets that transform the sky into a masterpiece each evening. The heart of the home is a soaring great room with 20-foot ceilings, a fireplace, and a striking spiral staircase leading to the second floor. The formal dining room, breakfast area, and a beautifully renovated kitchen--featuring an expansive island, quartz countertops, a gas range, double ovens, and a butler-sized pantry--make entertaining effortless.
The primary suite is a serene retreat, complete with a private office lined with built-in bookcases, a spacious bedroom with a sitting area, and a custom walk-through closet with extensive built-in storage. The luxurious bath features a double vanity, a walk-in shower, and a garden tub. A private screened porch off the suite offers an intimate space to take in the tranquil water views.
Upstairs, a guest suite with an en-suite bath is accompanied by a versatile sitting area overlooking the great room and an additional multi-purpose space that could serve as a second office, an artist's studio, or a media room. On the opposite side of the home, a separate wing includes a cozy den, two additional bedrooms--each with en-suite baths--and a unique sleeping loft accessible by a custom library ladder. The well-equipped laundry room offers a sink, generous counter space, and extensive storage, leading to a spacious two-bay garage with 11-foot clearance for boats, vehicles, and recreational gear.
The backyard is a vibrant home extension featuring lush gardens and a meticulously maintained lawn leading to a private deep-water dock. Strolling down the walkway, you'll pass through the picturesque marsh before reaching the main wharf, where at least eight feet of water depth ensures secure boat access at any tide. Whether boating to dinner, exploring the Frederica River and Intracoastal Waterway, or simply enjoying the serenity of Dunbar Creek--where minimal boat traffic keeps the waters calm--this is a waterfront lifestyle unlike any other.
Recent enhancements, including a full stucco refresh, encapsulated crawl space with sump pumps and dehumidifiers, and updated weatherproofing on windows and doors, ensure beauty and longevity. Sheltered by miles of marshland, this west-facing island home offers added protection from storms while embracing the coast's natural splendor.
A property of this caliber is rarely available--every space, every view, and every design choice reflects a timeless elegance that sets this home apart.
