About This Home
A masterpiece of coastal architecture – this fully furnished signature estate overlooks Emerald Bay, commanding, panoramic ocean views. Architecturally significant and exceedingly rare the residence is a showstopping sanctuary that embodies luxury, artistry, and serene coastal elegance at every turn. Zen-like serenity unfolds through massive stacked stone walls, artfully designed gardens, and the rhythmic sound of waves crashing. Walls of glass, retractable skylights, and disappearing doors blur the boundary between interior and exterior spaces, capturing breathtaking ocean vistas from nearly every angle. Custom-carved art glass doors open to reveal stone floors, and refined living spaces curated for a discerning lifestyle. The expansive living room showcases a panoramic backdrop, a sleek fireplace, and a full-service bar that transitions seamlessly to the central deck—ideal for sophisticated open-air entertaining. The state-of-the-art kitchen features custom cabinetry, a stainless steel island with seating, Miele coffee system, Viking refrigeration, concealed appliance garages, and a built-in breakfast nook. A formal dining room with ocean views and access to the firepit-enhanced deck adds to the home’s refined entertaining potential. Five luxurious ensuite bedrooms include a grand primary suite with sweeping ocean views. Two fully-equipped offices provide executive-level functionality, complemented by a dedicated dressing, hobby, or work room adjacent to the dual washer/dryer laundry area. A second-tier bonus living room adds versatility to the home’s layout. Multiple ocean-facing decks and an expansive outdoor entertainment level create the ambiance of a private resort. Covered yet open to the coastal air, the space includes a pool table, ping pong, full bar with serving counter, open-air spa, wine cellar, multiple outdoor TVs, and two outdoor showers. Enhanced by a 4-stop elevator, a Savant smart home system, and designer finishes throughout, this residence is more than a home - it's an experience. The guard-gated community of Emerald Bay offers exclusive access to a private beach, resort-style swimming and tennis facilities, lush parks, and its own dedicated fire station -creating an unparalleled coastal lifestyle.
