Description

The long tree lined driveway of this stunning secluded Waterfront Estate, known as Heron Watch, will take you through its beautiful 9 park-like acres, welcoming you home.

But once you enter the Foyer, through the reclaimed double entry doors and walk across the brick inlaid floor, the home explodes into an incredibly light filled California Coastal Contemporary home!
