About 56 Rip Van Winkle Way
This landmark home sits proudly on a private peninsula overlooking Buttermilk Bay with 485 feet of water frontage. The thoughtful design affords virtually 360 degree views of the Bay, which can be enjoyed from every room as well as the patios and courtyards with mature garden plantings.
