In Butterknife, the only gated enclave on esteemed West Gulf Drive, this reimagined coastal residence invites you to embrace luxury and the beach lifestyle. Here, design meets function across every finish and feature. Go inside to be greeted by soaring 18-foot ceilings crowned with clerestory windows and a dramatic two-story architectural surround framing the linear gas fireplace. The home’s fresh coastal aesthetic is elevated by 48-inch tile flooring throughout and bespoke accent walls that introduce depth and texture in thoughtfully curated locations. The open-concept kitchen is a study in quality and modern elegance, appointed with waterfall-edge quartz countertops, a full-height quartz backsplash and a complete suite of stainless steel Thermador appliances, including a 36-inch six-burner gas range with Thermador’s signature star burners. Each of the four bedrooms has an adjoining bath offering a unique interpretation of spa-inspired living, each finished with European-style cabinetry, quartz countertops, frameless glass showers, LED mirrors and designer-selected tilework. The large enclosed den on the main level provides flexibility of function making it ideal for a formal dining room, office, sitting/TV room, playroom or additional fifth bedroom. Step outside to an elevated pool surrounded by lush landscaping and discover a private backyard path leading directly to deeded beach access. From morning swims to sunset strolls, every day brings the Gulf within reach.
