143 Flyway Dr

The spacious, light-filled home at 143 Flyway Drive is beautifully sited beside the Tom Fazio-designed Osprey Point golf course and Canvasback Pond. Its pool, including waterfall, fountain, and underwater lighting, is awash in sea breezes from the nearby Atlantic.

Set well back from the lane for privacy and pleasing to the eye with a two-story covered front porch, Hardie® Plank lap siding, and attractive landscaping including native Island trees and landscape lighting, the home abounds in outdoor living spaces including multiple level sundecks, a brick-and-stone-trimmed patio with gas firepit table, and two sunlit balconies overlooking the lake-like lagoon and tee box of hole no. 18.
Inside, fine appointments run throughout, from wide-plank oak flooring stained a rich brown to lovely white trimwork and thick crown molding. Abundant large windows frame the views and invite light inside.

A set of glass entry doors painted the hue of sea glass opens to the foyer with its windowed staircase. Straight ahead is the living room: forty-two feet deep and spectacular with a two-story wall of windows showcasing the water views. Glass doors to either side of the window wall open to the rear sundeck, which steps down to the pool deck. A large crystal chandelier descends from the twenty-foot ceiling to light the space in the evening, and tucked beneath the gallery overlook for a more intimate feeling is a conversation area with a ceiling of sea salt blue.

The spacious kitchen, the gathering spot of the home, opens to one side. Enjoying a large center island with a breakfast bar seating four, gorgeously veined white countertops of Calacatta Gold marble, clean white cabinetry, and a white beadboard ceiling, it’s divided from both a sitting room and breakfast room by a similarly marbled peninsula with curved end cabinetry and sink. The stainless appliances include a Miele® five-burner gas cooktop with electric pop-up exhaust fan, Bosch® wall oven, microwave, dishwasher, and Thermador® warming drawer and side-by-side refrigerator with dispenser.

Entirely open to the kitchen is the dining room. Pleasingly formal and yet sunlit and airy, it features an eight-sided tray ceiling of fresh blue beadboard, square-columned wall dividers whose top portions open to the living room for additional openness and light, a crystal chandelier harmonizing with the one in the living room, and glass doors opening to the rear sundeck.
To the opposite side of the kitchen is the home’s breakfast room. There, under a ceiling of sea salt blue, a set of three tall windows overlook lush trees, a walk-in closet serves as a pantry for the kitchen, and two additional closets along one wall offer more storage.

The private family sitting room sits to the east of the kitchen. Custom cabinetry in the soothing hue of sand and a built-in desk nook line one wall, and tree-dappled light spills in from windows along the side wall. Its third wall opens to a game room with sunlit windows on two sides, including glass doors framing Canvasback Pond and opening to the sundeck.

A wood-trimmed library lies to the opposite corner of the home. There, a set of three tall windows overlooks the front of the property through a sun-dappled wall of evergreen leaves. Mahogany built-in bookshelves and cabinetry complete with a ceiling-height, rolling library ladder line one wall, and to the other, in a glass-shelved wall niche paneled in mahogany from floor to ceiling, is a wet bar with a sink of polished brass. This distinguished study enjoys its own windowed half-bath, and the remaining walls are trimmed with mahogany molding and wainscoting.

Completing the level is the spacious primary suite. Set to the western corner of the home, it enjoys a motorized shade covered glass door and row of windows opening to the rear sundeck. In the bath are his-and-hers sinks flanking a standalone soaking tub set beneath tall windows, a beautifully tiled frameless-glass walk-in shower with built-in bench and additional handheld showerhead, and a large walk-in closet.

On the second level, a loft twenty-six feet wide looks out to the living room’s second-story windows. Flanked by built-in white bookcases, its centerpiece is a pub bar beneath an oversized wood ceiling fan and a flat-screen TV. The two corner guest suites on this level each enjoy glass doors opening to private balconies overlooking the golf and lagoon views, and baths with clean white showers and tubs. The second shares its bath with the third guest suite, whose glass door and window open to a Juliet balcony overlooking the treetops.

Additional features of this well-appointed home include an elevator to the first floor, water-permeable drive with extra parking, ARB-approved hurricane protection system, safety deck and porch lighting, two Rinnai® water heaters, and sound, security, and irrigation systems. The side-entry, under-house two-car garage, lined with cabinetry and open shelving, and can be expanded to accommodate an additional small vehicle. A spacious, standing-height storage room is also accessed through the garage.
Ideally located behind the second security gate, Flyway Drive is one of the most exclusive enclaves on the Island, known for its stunning estate properties, privacy and quiet living, yet perfectly situated near boardwalks no.38 and 39, and is a five-minute bike ride to the popular Beach Club as well.
