About This Home
As of July 2025Just two blocks from the world-class shopping and dining of St. Armands Circle and Lido Beach, this luxurious hurricane and FEMA-complaint coastal retreat is designed for safety and elegance, with the main living level elevated 11.4 feet above base flood elevation (exceeding FEMA base flood elevation). Set against the serene backdrop of Pansy Bayou, with 110’ of waterfront, the immaculate residence is surrounded by the beauty of nature, across from a bird sanctuary teeming with wildlife. Step inside to a light-filled, single-story haven designed for a lifestyle of ease and elegance. Walls of glass throughout invite natural light and panoramic water views indoors, creating an open, airy atmosphere. The split floor plan offers 5BRs, 4BAs plus an office, ideal for both private retreats and staying guests. Entertain in style in the stunning kitchen, complete with all-white cabinetry, harmonizing stone countertops, a large island, premium stainless steel appliances and a wine refrigerator. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the living room, where engineered wood floors add a touch of warmth, and a double-sided gas fireplace enhances the space. The family room’s slider stack opens the home to the outdoors, where a summer kitchen and bar-height seating complete the experience. The primary suite offers a spa-like sanctuary with a large walk-in shower and custom countertops. Outside, a resort-style pool deck with 1,200 sq. ft. of covered and open space invites you to relax and soak in tranquil water views. A spa perched above the waterfall feature spills into the pool below. For the luxury enthusiast, the home also boasts a 3-car garage with space for a car lift, hurricane impact windows and sliders, a whole-home generator, a sound system with speakers throughout and an interior platform lift for easy access to the main living level.
