196 Caribe Isle

Property Description

A rare offering of refined waterfront living, this exceptional residence captures sweeping lagoon views and breathtaking sunsets over Mt. Tam, all from a premier end-of-cul-de-sac setting that ensures privacy and tranquility. Thoughtfully designed for elevated yet effortless living, the home is bathed in natural light through expansive windows that frame the shimmering water beyond. Interiors blend sophistication and comfort, anchored by a striking double-sided Carrara marble fireplace that creates a warm, elegant focal point. The beautifully remodeled kitchen is a statement of both style and function, featuring stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and a generous breakfast bar. Two distinct dining areas provide versatility for both intimate meals and larger-scale entertaining. Seamless indoor-outdoor living defines the experience, as entertaining spaces open gracefully to an expansive waterfront deck and idyllic setting for al fresco dining, sunset gatherings, or quiet mornings by the water. The deck extends to your private dock, offering direct access for boating, paddleboarding, and an array of waterfront pursuits, with the lagoon connecting to the San Francisco Bay. The flexible floor plan includes a main-level bedroom and full bath with direct deck access, ideal for guests or a private office. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms serve as serene retreats, each with private decks and captivating water views. Additional highlights include an inviting, serene private front patio, multiple outdoor living spaces, and a setting that embodies the essence of resort-style living. This is more than a home it's a lifestyle defined by beauty, comfort, and the timeless allure of the water.
