About This Home
This elegant home rests along WaterColor's quiet northern edge, directly bordering a protected state park and the peaceful pine forest where deer often wander. Designed by architect Dawn Thurber at the owners' request, the home blends her signature touches, such as eyebrow windows and an upper gallery, with a more traditional layout of defined, intimate rooms rather than today's open-concept trend. A welcoming entrance hall leads to the formal living room, framed by glass double doors and overlooking a charming pocket park. Every window along the home's exterior offers calming views of the state forest. A wide hallway opens to a cozy media room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, flanked by built-ins and a large picture window highlighting the natural surroundings. At the back of the three-bed, three-and-a-half-bath home, a bright professional kitchen features granite counters, ceiling-height cabinetry, and a generous central island with a butcher-block top and seating for family and guests. The formal dining room sits between the kitchen and living room, perfectly placed to frame the serene forest backdrop. A screened porch leads to the outdoor kitchen, complete with a built-in grill, fireplace, and comfortable dining and lounging spaces ideal for cooler evenings and relaxed gatherings. Outdoors, the backyard is bordered by a 10-foot magnolia hedge with parking for up to five cars. Beneath the carport, a separate space offers valuable flexibility, perfect as a gardener's hut, hobby space, workshop, or anything the next owner wishes to create. Upstairs, the home offers three spacious ensuite bedrooms, each bright, airy, and thoughtfully designed for comfort. The expansive primary suite features two walls of windows, a spacious bathroom with a glass shower and double vanities, and separate his-and-her closets. A laundry room sits conveniently along the upper gallery. Across the home, two additional oversized bedrooms one currently used as an artist's studio each enjoy private ensuite baths. With 3,452 square feet, a serene setting, and a location just a 15-minute walk to WaterColor's premier amenities including Camp WaterColor, the Beach Club, Western Lake, and the best of 30A this home has been lovingly cared for by its original owners and has never been rented. Peaceful, private, and perfectly connected to the WaterColor lifestyle, it offers a timeless retreat at the edge of nature.
