About This Home
Just 100 yards from the white sandy beach, this showstopping home is brimming with bonus features. A private pool enhances the peaceful rear yard while a lofty west-facing lookout tower on the fourth floor provides panoramic views. It's a special space to watch sunsets over the iconic WaterSound rooftops lining the stunning Emerald coastline. Two full-width front porches provide quiet retreats for reading and relaxing in the shade. Cool white interiors create a light and airy ambiance in the inviting living room, which has deep-cushioned seating around the white brick fireplace. Wood flooring winds through the defined living spaces that include a formal dining area and a wet bar with a refrigerator for serving perfectly chilled drinks. The chef's kitchen wows with veined marble countertops and a host of Thermador appliances, including a double oven and a six-burner gas stove. An island bar with stools provides additional seating for guests when entertaining. Step into the adjoining screened lounge to enjoy some fresh sea air or head onto the pool terrace to catch some rays. It's an excellent spot for a poolside barbecue beneath the swaying palms. A top-of-the-line sound system provides your choice of background music through a new amplifier, and there's a handy outdoor shower for rinsing off. Five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths allow family and guests to enjoy their own privacy and space. Two plush master suites include one on the first floor with stair-free access. The spa-like ensuite bathroom includes a beautiful walk-in shower, an oval roll-top garden tub and a dual marble vanity. An elegant staircase leads to another exquisite master suite and two king-size guest suites. Youngsters will revel in two sets of twin-over-twin bunks in their own den-like bedroom.
