About 968 Oriole Drive
With ocean views from virtually every room, 968 Oriole Drive presents a masterful re-imagining of a classic contemporary home. A wide open great room establishes the main floor of the home, anchored by an open kitchen at one end and a magnificent fireplace surrounded with a unique textured tile treatment at the other. A wall of French doors open to the view and a full length entertainment deck, complete with integral space heaters for evening dinners. Though each bath has its own unique style treatment, the master bath establishes a design benchmark - spa-like, with Philippe Starck fixtures and Spanish tile. Each bedroom looks out to the view. The home has end-to-end, sophisticated design, while carrying a welcoming, warm vibe. Positioned on the hill to create the wonderful views, the property is close to the beach, village shops, and restaurants. Created for entertaining, or simply relaxing, the home would serve well as a primary residence or as a lock-and-leave second home. Rarely are homes of this design caliber available at this price level - 968 Oriole Drive is a one-of-a-kind home.
