This home offers warmth and livability on a grand scale. The master bedroom, opening onto a private screened porch, is particularly inviting. A spacious gourmet kitchen has every imaginable convenience including double dishwashers and three ovens. The kitchen opens onto a dining area and great room with fabulous water views. The main living level also offers a powder room, a wet bar, and a utility room with separate work space. A spectacular staircase transitions the two living levels. At the top of the stairs, you will find an upstairs living area with surround sound and an office area that offers custom built-in cabinetry. There are 2 upstairs guest bedrooms joined by an adjoining bath. There is also a private guest suite that includes windows overlooking the Santa Rosa Sound. All three levels of this residence are accessible by a wood paneled elevator. This home offers numerous out door living spaces that complement the interior. All of the exterior decks were constructed using Ipe wood. The downstairs living areas open onto a covered balcony with an outdoor kitchen, outdoor fireplace, and a perfect outdoor dining area that currently accommodates a 10 seat table. There is also access to a south facing balcony just off the upstairs living area that is a perfect place to watch the Blue Angels perform, enjoy the gulf breezes, or just unwind after a long day. The location of this home was perfectly chosen. The home is located on a sound front lot just off the Intercoastal Waterway. A beautiful white sand shoreline and a bridge in the background add to the coastal ambiance. The subdivision has been a long time favorite of locals as it is deed restricted against short term rentals. Privacy is further guaranteed by the naturalized buffer zone in the subdivision center. No worries when you are ready to have some outdoor fun! You can relax in your own sparkling pool, hot tub, or go for a boat ride from your private pier. The subdivision is also within walking distance to the white sand beach and emerald water of the Gulf of Mexico. No expense was spared in adding special features to this estate. While words and pictures are insufficient to describe this property, seeing is believing!
