It does not get better than this! Start your mornings and end your days with dramatic sunrises and colorful sunsets at one of Rye's most coveted waterfront sanctuaries. Custom built in 2004 by the current owner, this handsome 8000 sq. ft. stone and slate home was thoughtfully designed and situated to take advantage of the 240 feet of direct LI Sound frontage to the east as well as Tide Mill Harbor views out front, providing breathtaking panoramic water views from virtually every room. Perched gracefully above the LI Sound, this home provides the epitome of entertaining indoors and out. Enjoy the glistening pool and spa, watch the boats go by as you dine with friends and family on the multi-tiered flagstone terrace, or catch a game on TV with the cozy outdoor fireplace blazing. Have your own touch football game on the expansive level lawn, launch your paddle board from the back yard or relax and enjoy the ever changing magnificent skyscapes -- the possibilities are endless. This home is one of 39 estates located in the gated, prestigious North Manursing Island community in which residents ride bikes on the private streets, launch boats on the LI Sound from the community marina, or head to the sandy private association beach. All this yet still so close to beach clubs, public and private schools, downtown Rye's shops and restaurants and Metro North. You can have it all at 12 Island Drive where luxury coastal living awaits! © 2023 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
