Built by Kent Custom Homes in 2019, this popular Bar Harbour floor plan delivers 3,126 square feet of easy, mostly single-level living -- four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths arranged for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. From the moment you arrive, the stamped-concrete rocking-chair front porch invites you to slow down, unwind, and embrace the lifestyle you've been dreaming of.

Step inside to graceful archways, craftsman-style millwork, and lighted tray ceilings throughout. The open great room flows into a formal dining room crowned by a striking octagonal tray ceiling, creating warm, welcoming spaces designed for the way you actually live.

At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen was made for gathering. An oversized island with Snow Quartz countertops anchors the space, complemented by a five-burner gas range, sleek stainless-steel hood, under-cabinet lighting, a walk-in pantry, and abundant storage for every home chef.

A sunny breakfast nook takes in the fairway views. The true showstopper is the extraordinary 28' x 12' screened porch -- a serene outdoor retreat where morning coffee, afternoon relaxation, and evening cocktails become daily rituals.
