OH 9-13 1:30 to 4:00 Experience a home that tells a story, where remarkable history, old-world craftsmanship, and the Discovery Bay waterfront lifestyle come together in a residence unlike any other. The story begins beneath your feet with spectacular reclaimed old-growth South Carolina heart pine flooring throughout the home. Salvaged from a century-old residence and meticulously cleaned and remilled on-site during construction, this extraordinary wood is prized for its tight grain, rich amber tones, exceptional durability, and character that simply cannot be replicated today. That craftsmanship continues throughout with historic interior doors salvaged from a long-forgotten Oakland hotel, massive exposed beams sourced from an upstate New York dairy barn, extensive wainscoting, and custom cabinetry masterfully crafted from durable rock maple. Four individually unique, brick-lined fireplaces, equipped for both wood and gas, bring warmth and personality to the home. Each has its own distinctive character, including a rare tiger maple surround, elegant marble detailing, a fireplace in the luxurious primary suite, and an impressive oversized brick fireplace in the kitchen surrounded by custom rock maple cabinetry. A private elevator provides convenient access between levels, while outside, a historic brick driveway and sidewalk lead to a welcoming wraparound porch. The southern waterfront exposure fills the bay with beautiful sunlight throughout the day, while the back porch transitions into welcome shade by evening, creating a comfortable setting to relax, dine, and enjoy the waterfront without the intense late-day sun. A 40-foot U-dock and boat lift provide your own gateway to miles of Delta waterways. Additional features include a spacious walk-in attic offering exceptional storage, a 3-car garage, water softener, designated space and power for a trash compactor, and the home’s original architectural blueprints. This isn't simply a waterfront home, it’s a collection of history, craftsmanship, and irreplaceable materials thoughtfully brought together to create something truly one of a kind in Discovery Bay.
