There are kitchens that function, and then there are kitchens that inspire. The heart of this Rhodo View Dunes craftsman is undeniably the latter — a sprawling chef's space anchored by a grand granite island with bar seating, warm custom cabinetry crowned with detailed molding, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances including a gas range, double wall ovens, and a built-in hood. A garden window floods the sink area with natural light and frames views of the beautifully terraced backyard, while a statement chandelier overhead sets the tone for evenings spent entertaining.At 3,086 sq ft on a west-facing .65-acre ridge lot, the rest of the home lives up to the kitchen's promise. Two master suites — including a primary retreat with a whirlpool tub, marble-tiled double shower, and distant views of the ocean and dunes — offer flexibility rarely found at this level. Soaring ceilings, 8-foot solid-core doors, custom lighting, and hardwood floors carry the craftsmanship from room to room. The lower level adds an entertainment room, library/den, and a finished, insulated three-car garage, with the home already framed for a future elevator.Outside, a covered patio plumbed for gas and a tiered garden yard complete the picture — all within minutes of the ocean, river, and Florence's local amenities.
