Introducing a Magnificient 5 Tiered Classic French Chateau

Neponsit - Second Home From The Ocean


This breathtaking Atlantic ocean coastal retreat is impressive yet livable with 5 bedrooms, each with its own private ocean view balcony and 4 and a half luxurious baths. A grand
entrance with Calcatta marble steps and strikingly beautiful iron staircase leads into exceptional and generous gathering rooms, a custom chef’s kitchen with Italian hand-
crafted cabinetry and French doors that open to a south facing sun deck. The home has an indoor spa with sauna, steam room, invigorating hydrostatic pressure heated pool and
jacuzzi, a wine cellar, a billiards room and an elevator to easily access every floor of living space including the massive rooftop deck with incredible sweeping ocean views.
From imported mosaic tiled floors, Venetian plaster walls, Sergio Sogolof hand painted murals, gold and silver leaf domed ceilings, delicately gilded fireplace and antique
chandeliers curated from all over the world, every room in this exquisite home is a study in European refinement and elegance, combined with contemporary comfort.

Lisa Jackson • Zillow Premier Agent With Over 260  Reviews
I would highly recommend Lisa Jackson to anyone who needs a realtor. She is very nice to work with and goes the
extra mile to help in anyway she can. Because I was selling my home and no longer lived in the neighborhood, she
was always there to help me by checking on the house and getting people access when necessary. She is fabulous!
