Description

Originally envisioned in 2002 by renowned local architect Corey McWhorter, this residence is rooted in a timeless Bauhaus aesthetic--where clean lines, natural light, and purposeful design take center stage. A comprehensive 2023 transformation elevated the home into a refined coastal retreat, thoughtfully expanding its livability while preserving the integrity of its original architecture. The main residence now offers three distinct primary suites, including a newly introduced ensuite with a private balcony--creating a serene, elevated escape. Each space has been carefully reworked to enhance flow, privacy, and connection, resulting in a layout that feels both intentional and effortlessly livable.

Supplements: extended stays while maintaining a cohesive architectural presence. Outdoors, the home transitions into a fully curated oasis designed for both relaxation and gathering. A saltwater pool serves as the centerpiece, while a custom plaster fire feature with a sculptural curved bench creates a striking focal point--inviting evenings of connection in a setting that feels both intimate and elevated. The seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living blurs the lines between structure and surroundings, enhancing the home's sense of calm and retreat. Every element--from the architectural lines to the restrained, intentional palette--has been selected to evoke a feeling of quiet luxury and restoration. A rare offering where design, function, and atmosphere come together to create a truly elevated living experience.
