Welcome to 120 W. Sir Walter Raleigh Drive, a spectacular elevated soundfront retreat in Colington Island featuring 109 feet of pristine waterfront, a private boat dock, breathtaking panoramic views, and a beautifully finished private guest suite with separate living quarters ideal for extended family, guests, or rental income. Built in 2022 and thoughtfully positioned on a high homesite, this custom home captures both sunrise and sunset over the sound from nearly every room. From the moment you enter, you are greeted by light-filled spaces and exceptional craftsmanship. Expansive windows and transom accents frame the sparkling water, while the open-concept living area was designed to bring the outdoors in. Rich custom pine doors and trim, upgraded semi-gloss paint, commercial-grade flooring, and a dramatic all-oak staircase create a warm yet elegant coastal feel throughout. The spacious living room is centered around a gas fireplace and opens seamlessly to expansive composite decking, creating the perfect place for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or simply relaxing while taking in the peaceful waterfront setting. The gourmet kitchen is both beautiful and functional, featuring custom all-wood maple cabinetry, quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, double ovens, a gas range, upgraded Frigidaire appliances, soft-close drawers and cabinetry, and exceptional storage. The adjoining dining and living areas are perfect for entertaining while keeping the incredible views front and center. The upper level offers three spacious bedrooms and two luxurious baths, including two private suites with walk-in closets and beautifully tiled baths. The primary suite feels like a private retreat with sweeping water views, an oversized walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath featuring a custom-tiled shower with double showerheads. The lower level offers exceptional flexibility with a private guest or extended-family suite featuring two private entrances, a great room/rec room, a kitchenette, a stackable washer/dryer, a 4th bedroom, and a full bath. This separate living space is ideal for an accessory dwelling unit, guests, a home office, a media room, or a recreation room. Currently operating as the successful short-term rental “Dream Bay,” this lower level generated approximately $12,000 in rental income in just four months. Every detail has been thoughtfully upgraded, including Therma windows, upgraded siding and trim, custom cabinetry throughout, Nest thermostats, separate HVAC systems for each level, upgraded lighting and hardware, a propane fireplace, gas water heater, and gas range. Outside, the lifestyle is equally impressive, with a bulkheaded shoreline, an irrigation system, an outdoor shower, an enclosed lower-level sitting area, air-conditioned storage, and endless opportunities for boating, kayaking, fishing, and enjoying life on the water. Located in the gated community of Colington Harbour with access to a soundfront park, pool, tennis courts, and recreation area, this remarkable property offers the perfect blend of luxury, privacy, versatility, and coastal living. This is the kind of home that makes you slow down, breathe deeper, and imagine yourself living every day surrounded by extraordinary views and unforgettable sunsets.
