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.

Supplements: 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.
