Description

Escape to paradise where pristine sands meet the azure waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Nestled amidst lush tropical foliage, this remarkable four-bedroom Key West-style beach home comes with the bonus of deeded bay access! Spanning more than 3,200 square feet and having undergone an extensive renovation with upscale enhancements that began in 2014 and completed in 2023, this home's most notable upgrades include impact windows/sliders throughout, newer roof, whole-house generator (currently being installed), and brand-new seawall (2023). The elaborate and impressive courtyard entrance awaits beyond the remote-access entry gate, welcoming you to a luxurious beach lifestyle. As you step inside the central residence, prepare to be mesmerized by breathtaking panoramic beach and sunset views glimpsed through magnificent walls of windows in the expansive great room, highlighted by its vaulted ceiling, electric fireplace, and pecky cypress accents. This unique residence boasts a thoughtfully designed layout equipped with a state-of-the-art smart home automation system and refinished terrazzo floors that connect each room. The hub of the main home is centered around the masterful gourmet kitchen, featuring top-of-the-line Viking Pro appliances, dual dishwashers, wet bar with two refrigerator drawers, and double built-in ovens with warming drawers. An expansive island/breakfast bar takes center stage, adorned with custom countertops embedded with exquisite oyster shells, while an abundance of custom white shaker cabinetry provides ample storage. A butler's pantry and generous walk-in pantry/storage are the perfect finishing touches to this culinary haven. The primary suite is a sanctuary, featuring a walk-in closet, modern bathroom, and private access to an outdoor deck overlooking the beach. The first guest suite (currently being used as a den) completes this main living area. The beautifully appointed two-bedroom, two-bath guest/in-law cottage is a retreat for family and friends. With a private entrance, its own laundry room, and porcelain tile throughout. Tray ceilings add an elegant touch, while a media room (also accessible from the main house), living room, dining area, and full kitchen with an island provide all the amenities overnight guests could desire. The luxuries of this property extend outdoors. Newer impact glass sliders from the guest house open to the elaborate pool area, while the main house offers direct access to the Gulf from multiple rooms. Step outside to discover a custom-built pavilion that elevates outdoor living to new heights. A wonderful cabana houses the fully equipped summer kitchen with seating for eight, stainless-steel grill, dishwasher, and disposal. Dive into the resort-style PebbleTec saltwater swimming pool, complete with a heater/chiller for year-round enjoyment. Discover built-in benches, a swim-up bar with seating, inviting spa, and upgraded Shellrock deck pavers that lead directly out to the beach. Enjoy an indoor/outdoor audio system with Sonos speakers, electronic blinds, upgraded internet with enhanced exterior access points, and outdoor infrared surveillance cameras for added security. Access to the pool bath off the media room adds the right amount of convenience. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a truly extraordinary beach experience.
