About This Property
A rare coastal dune lake, protected dunes and the Gulf of Mexico
layer to create a majestic, one-of-a-kind landscape that unfolds
before this lakefront home in the gated, resort community of
WaterSound Beach along Scenic Highway 30A in Northwest Florida.
This home, designed by Elements, Tampa, Florida is built on what
one could argue is the most desirable lakefront lot in Peninsula at
WaterSound, situated near the point with due south orientation
towards the Gulf. A brick-paved, arbor-covered path alongside the
detached garage leads to the covered front porch where French doors
give way to an inviting foyer where a dramatic, free-standing,
spiral mahogany staircase leads to the second-floor living spaces.
The curve of the precisely crafted staircase is matched by the
surrounding Venetian plaster-finished walls, crowned by a cupola
that peaks above the roof line of the home, whose clerestory
windows invite tremendous beams of light inside. Mixed width
mahogany floors are found not only throughout the second floor, but
on the ground floor as well. The home is appointed with traditional
double-hung Kolbe windows, with 16-over-1 divided light design that
create a luxurious, cottage atmosphere, as well as Kolbe doors, all
equipped with precision hardware by Hoppe. A wood-paneled cathedral
ceiling in the living room descends towards walls lined with
windows that frame the special view. The deep covered balcony with
ipe decking provides a tremendous amount of space for lounge
chairs, a table with chairs as well as a swing that is undoubtedly
the best seat in the house. A window-lined, lakefront dining room
provides seating for eight. The beautiful kitchen sinks below the
adjacent living and dining rooms to create striking sight lines
towards its elevated fireplace flanked by raised display cabinets.
Custom painted wood cabinets with quartz counters along the
perimeter of the space ensconce a large, contrasting island with
teak wood counter. The island is home to an under mounted, double
basin sink, stainless steel Viking dishwasher and microwave. A
stainless steel Viking refrigerator with freezer drawer sits
opposite a six-burner Viking gas range and vent hood. A wet bar
sits between the two sets of stairs that descend from the living
room and features a prep sink, stainless steel U-line wine cooler
and Kitchen-Aid ice maker. Handcrafted, Lefroy Brooks Limited,
England faucets appoint not only the kitchen, but also each of the
baths found throughout. On the west side of the home off of the
living room, and beyond pocket French doors is a powder room that
features chair-rail height, two-tone aqua glazed subway wall tile,
and a dedicated media room. The media room features carpeted floors
and towering built-in display shelves with media cabinetry. It also
enjoys access to an intimate covered balcony on the front of the
home, that can also be accessed from the stair landing and guest
bedroom found on the east side of the home. The second-floor guest
bedroom with glimpses of the lake is currently used as a home
office, but features its own private bath with spacious walk-in
shower clad in white, beveled subway tile. White square or
hexagonal mosaic tile floors and Toto toilets are standard features
found in each of the guest baths. A handsome, wood-paneled
residential elevator returns you to the ground floor where three
additional guest bedrooms and baths are joined by the master
bedroom. The northeast guest bedroom complements the bedroom found
upstairs and its bath features a large closet that houses the
elevator mechanics and provides bonus storage space. The northwest
guest bedroom benefits from the curved foyer wall, features French
doors that lead to the front porch and shares a full bath with
tub/shower combo with the southwest guest bedroom. The southwest
bedroom features built-in display shelves and banquette seating, as
well as French doors that lead to the screened back porch. The
spacious back porch overlooks the private lakefront pool and
features a Wolf gas grill with two burners, a Jenn-Air beverage
cooler and sink. It also features access directly into the shower
of an additional guest bath for hassle-free clean-up after a day by
the pool or at the beach. The pool deck provides a relaxing space
to bask in the warm sunlight. Beyond the foyer, bowed walls with
illuminated display alcoves book-end French doors to the master
bedroom. Steps descend from both sides of its entry beyond
additional display alcoves to the light-filled space with slate
tile floors that contrast beautifully with the crisp, white,
built-in chests of drawers that flank an elevated fireplace
directly opposite the bed wall. French doors mirror one another on
both the north and south walls. The north doors can be accessed by
a secluded path that splits from the one leading to the front porch
while the south doors provide private access to the pool area.
Additional steps lead up into the master bath. Slate subway tile
appoints the floors and are joined by a textural basket weave of
floor-to-ceiling limestone mosaic tile in the tub and walk-in
shower area. A double vanity features vessel sinks and sits
opposite a private water closet. This home conveys complete with
all of its beautiful furnishings and accessories, with few noted
exceptions.
