Homes designed by renown architect William E. Poole are best known for two things– their warm and romantic living environments and the great attention paid to the myriad of little design details that transform a house into a luxurious home. I think the Poole motto, “Make The Place You Live The Place You Love” really says it all. And this exceptional Bay Creek Golf Resort home, a classical design in the southern tradition, certainly lives up to William Poole’s fine reputation as a remarkable luxury home architect.
Front view of Heron Pointe luxury home at Bay Creek Golf Resort designed by William E. Poole
Located on an over-sized lot in the prestigeous village of Heron Pointe at Bay Creek in Cape Charles, Virginia, this is a like-new home that boasts two excellent views. To the east, a stunning view of the green on the sixth hole of the Arnold Palmer Signature course. ( Golf Digest has included Bay Creek on it’s “Best Places To Play” list, Golf Week on its “Best Courses You Can Play” so overlooking a Palmer hole is a terrific location.) The kitchen and breakfast room are located on the eastern side of the house so you can imagine how beautiful it is at sunrise, coffee in hand, watching the sun peek over the horizon, pennant waving in the breeze, green grass set against pink morning skies. Or if you’re not an early riser, how about the spectacular sunsets over the Chesapeake Bay from the western side of this beautiful home ? The elegant full house length front porch is the perfect place for relaxing with an iced tea, refreshing breezes wafting by, watching the setting sun paint the waters in shades of reds and golds. Featuring 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths, this luxurious home is one of the lucky few in Bay Creek Golf Resort that has both a golf course view and a Chesapeake Bay view, truly a great combination.
Spaciousness and natural light from the floor to ceiling windows make the great room so enjoyable
From the exterior brick to the interior five piece crown moldings, outside and inside, top of the line materials and quality craftsmanship were combined with luxurious interior appointments to make this a very special home. The floor plan, open and airy, with 10 foot ceilings on the first floor, allows for casual as well as formal areas — the formal dining room and library include lovely raised panel wainscoting. I especially love the large great room, its amazing floor to ceiling windows really bring the outdoors in— the natural light is simply wonderful. A chef’s kitchen ( with large center island features custom cherry cabinets, built-in wine rack, granite counters and a very nice built-in wine cooler ), stands ready for whipping up sumptuous feasts. ( All appliances are GE Profile, the refrigerator front panel matches the cherry cabinets. ) Sugar and spice and everything nice plus much, much more can be stored in the huge walk-in pantry. Spacious first floor master bedroom suite includes custom walk-in closet with built-in dresser, tray ceiling, custom windows with designer shades overlooking the golf course with double shower and double vanities in the bathroom. Fireplace person ? There are two. Particular as to entry foyer ? A perfect size, proceeded by an oversized door with leaded glass surround and overhead fan window. Recessed lighting throughout. And much, much more !
The state-of-the-art marina is just one of the many terrific amenities available to Bay Creek Golf Resort homeowners
And did I mention the other terrific Bay Creek amenities available to its homeowners in addition to the world class golf ? Miles of glistening sand beaches, a new state-of-the-art marina, multiple swimming pools, tennis courts, amazing landscaping throughout, shops, fine and casual dining, clubhouse, pro shop, easy access by golf cart to all the shops, galleries, restaurants, etc. in the historic town of Cape Charles, Virginia ? Truly, for an alluring combination of luxury and charm, golf and water views, sited on a large lot in one of the nation’s top 100 golf communities, it would be very, very difficult to beat this elegant 4200 sq. ft. William Poole designed home in Heron Pointe village at Bay Creek Golf Resort in historic Cape Charles, Virginia !
