Morning coffee overlooking the water and evening relaxation near the 4th green define daily life in Birkdale's premier water view setting. Positioned along an expansive shoreline where herons and eagles frequent the cove, this custom residence seamlessly pairs golf community living with refined indoor-outdoor comfort. A welcoming front patio and carved mahogany and iron doors introduce a soaring two-story foyer and an open layout framed by rich oak hardwoods. A two-sided fieldstone gas fireplace anchors the central living area, creating an inviting focal point for quiet evenings or effortless gatherings. Designed for the entertainer, the kitchen features an expansive island, secondary oven, and downdraft cooktop, supported by a walk-in butler’s pantry that streamlines hosting with dedicated beverage service and staging capacity for dinner parties and get-togethers. The first-floor primary wing provides a private sanctuary with direct deck access, dual walk-in closets, and an updated bath with custom vanities and soaking tub. A dedicated home office features tall picture windows that pull natural light and scenery indoors. Outdoor living spans two versatile levels. The expansive composite deck offers open-air dining overlooking a private, manicured backyard. Below, the finished walk-out lower level serves as a flexible second living area. Featuring a private bedroom, full bath, cherry cabinet bar with granite counters and undercounter refrigeration, and open flex spaces, it easily accommodates extended guests, game nights, fitness, or creative hobbies. French doors open directly to a sheltered patio just steps from the water's edge. Notable improvements include a 50-year algae-resistant Grand Manor roof (2007), upstairs HVAC replacement (2018), Trex deck rebuild (2020), upgraded leaf-guarded gutters, an added parking pad, and a 2-car garage with extensive built-in storage. With premier golf and tranquil water right outside your door, this is water view living elevated...a rare lifestyle opportunity in Birkdale.
