This home in quiet Piney Point Village is marketed as an entertainer’s dream, and that starts with an exterior that has a flair for the dramatic. Entirely clad in white stucco, its flat rooflines—as opposed to the more typical gable—step down from the center with pronounced, squared-off symmetry. Inside, big windows, high ceilings, and a 9,200-square-foot floor plan make for an excellent social backdrop.

Enter the house via double glass and steel doors into a double-height foyer. There, guests naturally follow the extended sight lines into the living room, which, thanks to a massive wall of windows nearly reaching the 21-foot-high ceiling, also has backyard views. A wall with a double-sided fireplace divides that congregating area from the dining room, where lower ceilings make for a more intimate vibe for sitting around the table. Beside it, find a glass-enclosed wine vault fronting a dedicated bar and catering kitchen, for easygoing hosting.

The kitchen is set up for someone who likes to cook, with a large prep island covered in waterfalling marble slabs, a Wolf stove and Thermador appliances, and lots of storage, including a walk-in pantry. A smaller living room and a breakfast room off the kitchen are for cozier family moments, as is the first-floor media room, though the latter has bar access should it be needed for more casual get-togethers.

Meanwhile, an office with custom shelving, cabinetry, and built-in desks offers a private spot to steal away. There’s also a guest en-suite bedroom on the main floor, while the upstairs houses the primary suite and three bedrooms, each with its own connected bath.

For the most part, the look throughout the home is crisp and neutral, which makes the splashier luxe details stand out: a wallpapered ceiling in the office, dark cabinets and stone in the bar, and a floating stone sink in one of the three powder rooms.

Outside, there’s two covered patios for lounging, and plenty of lawn should the party end up there. Even better, the listing includes renderings, specs, and permits for a future pool, making this a possible four-season affair.
