384 Beachside Dr Panama City Beach, FL 32413

Awash in natural light, this ethereally elegant beachfront Carillon Beach home, appropriately named Halcyon Days, seems to shape-shift with moods of the sea and sky. Walls of windows and large porches facing the Gulf of Mexico allow light to dance upon the home's textured layers, soft wood tones and natural stone elements. ''The expansive view of the Gulf from every south-facing window will stop you in your tracks,'' says Jonathan Hampel, the home's designer, and Principal Architect of acclaimed A BOHEME Design. Impressive visual features include mirrors reflecting the stunning southern light and panoramic coast views coupled with expansive natural wood beams accenting the ceilings and enhancing the cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen, and its custom-designed large marble-top waterfall island with curved end, is the heart of the home, and perfect for gathering/entertaining. In fact, it anchors the open-concept dining and kitchen space. The living room's lime-washed brick imparts warmth and rustic appeal, while the sloping curved lines of the fireplace mimic the home's architectural style inspired by West Indies and Cape Dutch influences. Special touches like curved Venetian plastered walls provide a soft reflective quality, contrasting with the visually spectacular ceiling oak wood beams. The master bedroom suite, accessible by elevator and spanning the entire top floor, embraces simple details incorporating the use of white with soft contrast accents in art, lighting and texture. The painted wood ceiling adds coastal elegance, complementing the master bath's pristine white marble and custom Italian bath fixtures. From the interior undulating acid-washed railings to the minute detail and patina of the exterior brass fountain fixtures naturally enhanced by the salt air mist, every element sets off the dipping pool/Jacuzzi and its sequestered view to the stunning emerald blue waters of the gulf. The home's architectural lines and details, coupled with its thoughtful, pragmatic design features, create a gathering place where cherished generational memories are fostered. Halcyon Days was featured in an exclusive online and print edition article in the Wall Street Journal in February 2026. The photos tell the story of thoughtfully planned design and unmatched, yet simple and captivating, elegance.
