About This Home
As of November 2021The oceanfront community of Sea Colony is the epitome of barefoot elegance and there is no finer representation of this elegance than the stunning Carribean architecture of 709 Ocean Palm Way. Designed by the noteworthy international firm of Cronk-Duch, the house utilizes elements such as plentiful porches and decks to create ocean cross breezes and welcoming outdoor entertaining. Hidden behind the pretty courtyard entrance you will find a tropical oasis of palms and lush foliage surrounding a deep blue pool. Perfect for a large family this well planned residence with its separate carriage house is an entertainer’s dream. An expansive open concept kitchen/living area is a pleasure when sharing cooking responsibilities, and in the family room a newly designed built-in keeps media and games neatly tucked away. Upstairs is a loft with a mini bar creating a secondary family room. Split bedrooms, lots of porches, and wide spaces form a secondary space that can be utilized in a variety of ways. The master bedroom is front facing with a long porch, and the elegant master bath is quite stunning with its well thought out design, handsome tiles, and beautiful cabinetry. Need a separate space for a quiet home office, in laws, or long visits from guests who love being at the ocean? You will love the carriage house! This large open living room/bedroom has the same appeal as the rest of this wonderful home with its porch overlooking the pool. You may never want to leave this well maintained family retreat, but only steps away is a private walkover to one of the most beautiful sandy beaches in the state. Public beach entrances are closed at the end of each day, and these are some of the best times for quiet walks or sunrise meditations. In this home, in this location, barefoot elegance is truly defined.
