At 404 Shoreline Drive East, the transition to refined coastal living is orchestrated with effortless grace. Positioned on the mainland of Sunset Beach, this deep-water estate offers a rare panoptic vantage point along the Intracoastal Waterway, where unobstructed water views and Southern elegance converge. A truly rare offering on the Intracoastal Waterway--this one-of-a-kind waterfront estate is distinguished not only by its premier setting, but by something exceptionally uncommon: the property ownership extends all the way to the boat dock - an extraordinary feature that sets it apart from nearly every other waterfront property on the market The sense of arrival is immediate, guided by a circular concrete drive and a canopy of majestic live oaks that signal the property's quiet permanence. This solid brick residence stands as a testament to architectural integrity, featuring antique heart pine floors, plantation shutters, and meticulous millwork from the deep baseboards to the ornate ceiling moldings. Inside, the residence unfolds with a chef's kitchen equipped with a Viking range, an informal breakfast retreat overlooking the water, and dedicated service cabinetry. The hosting experience is elevated by a formal dining room with elegant chair rails and an adjacent butler's service station. In the great room, a wall of sliding glass doors with transom windows disappears to unite the interior with the terrace, while built-ins frame the fireplace for a sense of composed warmth. The primary suite, a sanctuary located on the main level, features dual walk-in closets and a lavish bath with a two-headed shower, a clawfoot tub, and a heated towel rack. Work and leisure are balanced with sophistication. A stunning library and office features its own fireplace, custom built-ins, and views overlooking the ICW, while the upper level hosts a comprehensive media and billiards room. The outdoor lifestyle is unrivaled. A private deep-water dock with a brand-new boat lift provides direct access to the ICW. The ground-floor terrace, finished with brick-laid floors and a tongue-and-groove ceiling, leads to a climate-controlled saltwater pool, a hot tub, and an upscale outbuilding that mirrors the residence's aesthetic. Strategic upgrades - including a three-car garage, Rinnai on-demand water heaters, a newly installed generator, and a new roof - ensure peace of mind for either a primary residence or a prestigious seasonal getaway. With the beach just a short golf cart journey away, this residence offers an effortless transition between a day on the water and a quiet afternoon by the ocean.
