REAL ESTATE
A two-story wall of windows in the home’s living room offers ever-changing views
of the green and blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
An open floor plan joins the living room to the chef’s
kitchen, which has cherry wood stacked cabinets, double
ovens, a six-burner gas range, two professional grade
dishwashers, polished granite counters and a spacious
walk-in pantry. There is also a center island with a prep
sink, a breakfast bar and a cozy nook for casual dining,
and doors that open to the terrace.
Glossy wood flooring, smooth lines and a high ceiling
accented with elegant crown molding are highlights of the
formal dining room. Convenient plantation shutters give
privacy, while recessed lighting and an opulent designer
chandelier brighten the room. Also on this floor is an
opulent 2,400-bottle climate-controlled cedar wine cellar,
along with three of the home’s bedrooms.
On the third floor is the master suite that has a private
terrace overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Oversized hurricane
resistant windows in the master bedroom offer panoramic
views of the turquoise waters. The master bathroom features
travertine flooring, matching granite topped his-and-her
vanities, a large walk-in glass shower and an oversized
two-person jetted tub. There is a bonus room with en-suite
bath on this level that could be converted into an additional
bedroom, and a home office with glass French doors that
open to a private terrace overlooking the pool and Gulf
of Mexico. This home even has a separate guest quarters,
or in-law suite, with its own private bathroom.
This home’s mostly covered ground floor has no walls on
three sides, allowing room for an oversized four-car garage
and space for a boat. A brick paver pool deck features an
in-ground swimming pool and gas heated spa. A spiral
staircase connects the pool deck to the second and third
levels of this home.
