Description

The most breathtaking views you will find anywhere along the Emerald Coast!! Rarely will you find a penthouse this elegant anywhere in the world, overlooking such paradise. Perched above the shimmering Gulf waters in the heart of Destin, this extraordinary multi-level penthouse redefines modern coastal luxury. Encompassing just under 5,000 sq ft across two levels, this one-of-a-kind 4-bedroom + bonus room, 4.5-bath residence is a rare architectural statement where panoramic beauty, custom craftsmanship, and cutting-edge innovation converge. From the moment you enter, soaring 18 ft ceilings and dramatic walls of glass frame uninterrupted Gulf vistas from the 10th floor. As a premier corner residence, sweeping views extend eastward toward the protected shores of Henderson Beach State Park

Supplements: Polished marble flooring flows seamlessly throughout, rising dramatically into floor-to-ceiling marble walls in the primary and half baths, a striking testament the home's uncompromising design. The open-concept living and dining areas were curated for both grand entertaining and intimate evenings overlooking the water, extending effortlessly onto a 344 sq ft private balcony where the sound of the waves becomes your daily soundtrack. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is a sculptural showpiece featuring Thermador appliances, pristine white quartz countertops and full-height backsplash, and custom cabinetry with natural wood interiors and Blum Movento push-to-open hardware. An expanded butler's pantry with wine and beverage refrigeration provides additional preparation space and enhances the home's effortless entertaining capability. Throughout, custom sliding pocket doors with glass panels and refined Emtek hardware add a sleek architectural element. The thoughtfully designed layout balances privacy and grandeur. The first level offers a spacious guest suite, while the upper level accessible by a private in-home elevator unfolds into an elevated sanctuary. Here you will find the primary suite, an additional en-suite bedroom, a media lounge, and a versatile loft space with full bath and closet. The glass-wrapped loft captures breathtaking, panoramic Gulf views and may easily be enclosed to create a true fifth bedroom, honoring the original floor plan if desired. The primary suite is a sanctuary above the shoreline, complete with its own private Gulf-view balcony. The spa-inspired bath features a sculptural garden tub positioned to capture Gulf views through a thoughtfully designed wall cutout, a spacious walk-in shower, and an expansive custom wardrobe. Beyond its beauty, this penthouse is a triumph of intelligent living. A fully integrated Lutron HomeWorks system controls lighting, automated shades, and ceiling fans throughout. The residence features 149 Porsche-designed lighting fixtures engineered to mimic natural light, along with 28 Lutron Palladiom automated shades, including QED motors accommodating the impressive 18 ft living room drop. Entertainment is immersive and seamless, powered by a whole-home Russound 12-zone audio system, premium in-wall speakers in every room, custom-mounted iPads for intuitive control, a 98" QLED display with Yamaha surround sound in the media room, and 6 custom-framed televisions throughout the residence. Security and infrastructure are equally exceptional. A Leviton security system with automated entry video, motion-activated lighting, HOA-approved balcony camera with 25x optical zoom and night vision, and a commercial-grade Unifi internet system featuring 8 access points, 72 ports, and 650W POE capacity ensure uncompromised performance. A dedicated lockable communications room discreetly houses all technology components. Additional enhancements include water leak detection sensors with automatic shut-off and remote-controlled water heater functionality for efficiency while away. Two dedicated parking spaces within the gated garage provide convenience and security. Residents enjoy access to elevated resort-style amenities, including a rooftop oasis with pool, hot tub, and fitness center, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Gulf. This is more than a residence. It is a private sky villa, a statement of refinement, and a rare opportunity to own one of the most technologically advanced and visually commanding penthouses on the Emerald Coast.
