Every detail reflects a warm, timeless coastal aesthetic, blending natural textures with thoughtful architectural elements throughout. Inside, wire-brushed oak hardwood floors run throughout the home, complemented by reclaimed beams, custom wood ceilings, and paneled accent walls that create a rich, layered interior palette. Marble and quartz surfaces, solid wood cabinetry, and decorative lighting add to the home's refined character. The chef's kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring an oversized island, custom cabinetry, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, dual dishwashers, wine refrigeration, and thoughtfully integrated storage, making it equally suited for everyday living or entertaining. Seamless indoor-outdoor living defines the home's courtyard-style exterior, enhanced by two sets of NanaWall doors that open the living spaces to the outdoor entertaining areas. A private heated pool is framed by Brazilian hardwood decking, stone pavers, and a privacy wall with water feature, creating a tranquil, resort-like setting. The outdoor living area features a wood-burning fireplace and fully equipped outdoor kitchen, offering an inviting space for year-round entertainment. Inside, an electric fireplace adds warmth and ambiance to the main living area. The second-floor primary suite offers a private sanctuary, complete with a private porch overlooking the walking paths and tranquil pond. The suite also includes a custom walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath with steam shower. Additional features throughout the home include a private residential elevator serving all levels, sonos sound system, a custom bedroom with built-in daybeds and pull out trundles, perfect for guests and family, a small third-floor office, tower-level entertaining space offering Gulf glimpses, energy-efficient systems, and a whole-home humidifier for enhanced comfort. From the mahogany front door and copper gas lanterns to the carefully selected interior finishes, this residence embodies understated luxury and thoughtful design at every turn. Located within the gated enclave of WaterSound Beach along Scenic Highway 30A, residents enjoy a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and resort-style amenities.
