Description

Sitting on more than a quarter-acre with lush greenery, this Tom Christ-designed beach house is just three back from the unspoiled white sandy beach with ample space for hosting family and friends with five ensuite bedrooms. This luxurious home has recently been remodeled, adding an elevator, a workout room off the master bedroom and a host of updates totaling around $1 million. This three-story beach home now has a new roof, peacock pavers, a new exterior kitchen and gas fireplace, HVAC in the garage and a complete overhaul in the kitchen. Four of the five bathrooms were remodeled, adding a steam shower in the master. The first floor has a second living room, two ensuite bedrooms, an additional, all-new kitchen, and private courtyard garden. This space is flexible for independent guests or a mother-in-law suite if desired. The grand entrance to the home is reached by a stairwell leading up to a welcoming entry porch. Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the spacious layout. It delivers treetop views and privacy from the sitting area and den, and seamless access through french doors onto a covered balcony. Where better to enjoy sunset drinks with fresh gulf breezes and the occasional sound of the waves? Heart pine floors and lofty beamed ceilings give a nod to the unspoiled natural environment. The newly upgraded kitchen has eye-catching modern cabinet finishes, a double oven and warming drawer, two dishwashers and a full range of appliances including a chip ice maker (Sonic ice). It's deceptively well-equipped for entertaining on a grand scale. The quartz-topped island is a natural hub for serving cocktails and snacks. The second-floor master suite has a dramatic cathedral 25 foot ceiling, providing an extra sense of light and space. The adjoining ante-room is a new fitness room with triple-aspect windows providing calming views while you work out. The opulent master bath has an oversized shower and his-and-hers marble vanities, and a huge walk-in closet. Upstairs are two ensuite bedrooms with a large, third-floor balcony with a breathtaking view of the bordering 25 acres of conservation land. Sliding barn doors hide more storage and a washer/dryer beneath the apex roof. There is additional attic storage that runs the length of the third floor. This home is also equipped with a whole-home generator and each floor has a set of washer/dryers for convenience. The rear of the property has an attractive private pool and spa for morning dips and the chance to relax beneath the shady pergola. The stunning, newly-renovated Retreat Beach Club nearby offers a heated lap pool and social gathering space featuring superb gulf views and access to the soft white sand. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding and fishing with private neighborhood access to Draper Lake or hiking and bicycling in nearby Point Washington State Forest. Most notably, The Retreat offers (exclusive to its homeowners) 3,000 feet of pristine, quiet beach on scenic Highway 30A - "the last stand of stillness and privacy along Florida's most beautiful coastline."
