Property Description
Positioned steps from the sugar-white sands of the Gulf, this exceptional Watersound Beach residence commands attention across four thoughtfully designed floors. Built in 2017 and encompassing 4,230 square feet, the five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath home is a masterclass in refined coastal living - where soaring ceilings, crisp white interiors, and a white brick fireplace create an atmosphere of effortless sophistication. The chef's kitchen is appointed with richly veined marble countertops and a full suite of Thermador appliances, including a six-burner gas range and double oven. Two generous primary suites, including a first-floor retreat, offer the privacy and serenity expected of a home of this caliber. A dedicated bunk room and third-floor game room with oversized screen speak to thoughtful design for gathering and entertaining at every level. Outside, a private pool and landscaped rear yard provide a serene escape, while the fourth-floor west-facing lookout tower reveals sweeping panoramic views of the Emerald Coast. Dual full-width covered porches invite unhurried mornings and golden-hour evenings alike. A detached garage and paved driveway complete the offering with ease and practicality. Within the gated Watersound Beach community, residents enjoy an unrivaled amenity collection featuring multiple pools, a private fitness center, miles of scenic boardwalks, a dog park, and one mile of deeded Gulf beach access. Short-term rentals are permitted, presenting a rare opportunity to own a premier primary residence, second home, or income-producing asset along one of Florida's most sought-after coastlines.
