Property details

About 1290 Bay Dr

There are a few once-in-a-generation locations, and this is one. At end of prestigious Bay Drive is a hidden harbor, home to a stunning boat basin and an amazing direct access canal. Extending into this idyllic setting is a peninsula of sea walled land hosting this awe-inspiring residence. With water views usually only enjoyed from the bridge of a yacht, this completely remodeled home offers subtle sophistication complementing the incredible views. Walls of windows and impact sliders host views few are fortunate enough to enjoy. Stunning 24-inch tile floors and wood-inlaid ceilings offer touches of luxury and hints of what the rest of the residence has to offer. Walnut cabinets and Cristello counters adorn the gorgeous kitchen open to the living and dining areas where water views abound. Your outdoor kitchen on a large lanai overlooks the boat basin, your pool and spa an amazing private dock featuring both a 26,000-pound and 16,000-pound lift for boat enthusiasts. Venture up to the primary suite where a gas fireplace and seating area greet you and a staircase takes you to a reading loft where bay and basin views are extraordinary. This home and location are spectacular.
