Refined Waterfront Living at 561 Avocet Drive
Located within The Peninsula at Beau Coast, 561 Avocet Drive offers an extraordinary blend of coastal luxury, craftsmanship, and historical character. Positioned on a sprawling waterfront lot with expansive marsh views, this furnished six-bedroom, six-bathroom estate was thoughtfully designed to create a refined yet welcoming coastal retreat.
From the moment you arrive, the scale and attention to detail throughout the property are immediately apparent. With over 1,000 square feet of outdoor entertaining space, elevator access to all levels, and beautifully curated finishes throughout, every aspect of the home was designed with both comfort and elegance in mind.
Thoughtfully Designed for Entertaining
The main living level is centered around a spacious open-concept layout that seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas. The gourmet kitchen features white cabinetry, shiplap accents, premium stainless steel appliances, and an oversized island designed for gathering and entertaining.
Natural light fills the adjoining dining and living spaces, while large sliding glass doors open directly onto the covered waterfront deck, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living.
The living room features custom built-ins and a gas fireplace, while the outdoor porch is anchored by a truly unique focal point—a fireplace with a mantle reclaimed from a Civil War hospital, adding a layer of historical significance and character rarely found in newer construction homes.
Spacious Layout with Private Retreats
The ground floor offers a private mother-in-law suite complete with a sun-filled den, bedroom, walk-in closet, and full bath, creating a comfortable retreat for guests or extended family.
Upstairs, the primary suite combines luxury with rich architectural detail, including reclaimed ceiling beams sourced from a historic tobacco farm. The suite also offers direct deck access and a spa-inspired ensuite featuring heated floors, marble tile, a soaking tub, and a steam shower.
The upper level continues with three additional ensuite bedrooms and a gathering area that opens onto another covered porch overlooking the surrounding marsh landscape.
Exceptional Outdoor Living & Waterfront Setting
Outdoor spaces are a defining feature of 561 Avocet Drive. Expansive covered porches and decks provide multiple areas to relax, entertain, and enjoy the surrounding views.
The waterfront yard has been elevated with over 300 loads of fill, enhancing both usability and long-term functionality. The property is also prepared for future dock expansion, with electric and water already installed for a potential dock addition, pending buyer permitting.
Coastal Luxury Meets Everyday Convenience
Additional highlights include a three-car garage, elevator access to every level, premium trim details, and carefully selected finishes throughout the home.
Residents of The Peninsula at Beau Coast enjoy access to exceptional community amenities including a clubhouse, pool, fitness center, pickleball courts, grilling area, and community dock access along Taylor's Creek.
