Property Description
A remarkable setting where architecture, water, and landscape come together. Positioned on an exceptional corner lot, 57 Blue Heron Drive is bordered by water on two sides and adjoins maintained open space, creating a rare sense of openness. Mountain views rise beyond the water, while fishing and boating access invite you to experience the setting. Inside, more than 100 windows fill the home with natural light, framing water, mountain, and open-space views throughout. The chef's kitchen sits at the heart of the residence with generous cabinetry, expansive preparation space, a center island, and a stunning breakfast nook designed around the view. Morning coffee comes with a front-row seat to the water. Thoughtfully designed for entertaining and everyday living, the home offers 4 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, two distinct living spaces, and a beautifully appointed dining room near the entry. A richly detailed wood-paneled office brings timeless character, while an art studio and private workout/flex room adjoining the primary suite add versatility. The primary suite feels like a retreat of its own, complemented by a spacious bath and abundant natural light. Throughout the home, soaring ceilings, expansive windows, architectural details, and generous proportions create an atmosphere that feels substantial yet inviting. Outside, a sprawling deck and expansive covered lower patio provide exceptional spaces for dining, entertaining, or enjoying the landscape. With water wrapping two sides of the property, the outdoor spaces feel remarkably connected to their setting. Additional highlights include a heated driveway, lower-level garage with dedicated workshop space, extensive storage, and flexible spaces throughout. Few properties offer this combination of water, open space, mountain views, natural light, and architectural presence. 57 Blue Heron Drive is defined by its setting, with the surrounding landscape woven into nearly every room.
