In the market for a home near the beach? This 14-room Tuscan Victorian in Point Lookout is three-quarters of a block from the ocean. Designed with pillars and wraparound porches, the house appears to be able to handle mother nature’s wrath -- it was constructed to withstand 185-mph winds. And it’s said the tin roof never has to be redone.
In 1999, one year after the house was built, it earned the Concrete Industry Board’s Award of Merit — a testimony to fine workmanship. (www.cibofnyc.org/index.html).
The interior is outfitted with decorative moldings, solid oak doors and 16-zone radiant heat. The living room has a 16-foot ceiling with custom beams and oak molding. This room also dons a new custom stone fireplace and antique glass windows.
The designer kitchen has two dishwashers, three ovens and two stoves, including one imported from France. The layout also includes a guest room, a library, a home office, a family room, an exercise room and a rooftop deck. There are four and a half bathrooms and four bedrooms, plus a master suite with a fireplace.
Paul Gomez of Point Realty in Point Lookout is handling the sale of the house, which is listed at $2.499 million. Taxes are $30,000 a year.
