Custom coastal luxury in Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island. Designed by architect John Dodd and built by Castleton Homes, this newer construction residence is privately positioned on a corner homesite beside a conservation lot, with pond views and direct access to Egans Creek Greenway. Inside, elevated finishes and exceptional craftsmanship define the home: 8-inch wire brushed white oak flooring throughout, 10-foot ceilings, a dramatic 13-foot cathedral ceiling in the family room, 8-foot solid core interior doors, crown molding, and designer details throughout. The chef's kitchen features quartz countertops, a 6-burner gas cooktop, an oversized island, walk-in pantry with solid wood shelving, reverse osmosis system, designer lighting, and ceiling-height custom cabinetry with integrated lighting. The first floor owner's suite offers a beautifully appointed bath, heated towel rack, and custom walk-in closet. Additional bedrooms include en suite baths, and the loft provides flexible space for an office or quiet retreat. Outdoor living includes a screened covered porch and a second floor rocking chair porch overlooking the pond. Paid-off solar panels, two Tesla Powerwalls, and a Tesla wall charger deliver energy independence without a generator. Minutes from Amelia Island beaches, Fort Clinch State Park, and historic downtown Fernandina Beach. Voted Best Island in the United States by Global Traveler magazine, Amelia Island offers a way of life without comparison.
