Welcome to 2 Bayview Ave, a stunning modern home nestled in the serene, walkable streets of Shelter Island Heights, NY. This corner lot property boasts an expansive acre of bucolic land, offering a tranquil escape.
The exterior of the home features large front and back porches with ample overhangs for three season comfort. Mahogany decking, porcelain tiles, integrated speakers and overhead fans enhance the enjoyment of picturesque surroundings. The raised backyard is a very private sanctuary of its own with a 16 x 40 gunite pool, a cozy cabana and lush greenery, creating an oasis for relaxation or entertaining.
Step inside to a spacious open floor plan accentuated by 10-foot ceilings and a stunning 15ft x 20ft custom window wall that bathes the home in natural southern light. Wide-plank light oak flooring and a cohesive palette of contrasting trim elements evoke a Nordic design language throughout. The custom kitchen is a chef's dream, complete with an oversized quartz island, copious storage, a Thermador appliance suite, and a convenient walk-in pantry. The home is designed for comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining.
Down a windowed hall and separated from the entertaining areas of the home, the primary suite on the main level is a haven of comfort, featuring a large walk-in closet and a luxurious bathroom with double sinks on a floating vanity, a private toilet room and multi-fixture wet room. The main level also houses a convenient laundry room, a powder room, extra closets and a versatile bonus space with its own rear-patio entrance and an attached full bathroom.
Upstairs, a cozy, windowed loft space overlooks the main living area. A bright hall joins three additional en-suite bedrooms, including a junior primary suite. Each bath boasts fine fixtures and marble work. The finished lower level provides valuable additional space for recreation, a home gym, media room or overflowing living with a full bathroom and walk-out level access to a private covered patio offers endless potential for customization.
The property also includes a 3-car garage – a true rarity in Shelter Island Heights – elegantly situated below the sightlines of the home's main living areas, thus preserving views of the beautifully landscaped surroundings. A secondary driveway that serves the garage features custom board-formed retaining walls, exquisite plantings and warm landscape lighting that add to the property's striking visual impression.
2 Bayview Ave. is more than just a home; it's a lifestyle. It's a place where modern luxury meets the tranquility of nature.
