Property Description
Overlooking a rare coastal dune lake with spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico, this concrete-constructed legacy home was designed by renowned architect Dawn Thurber, Thurber Architects. Almost every room in this noble structure overlooks a layered vista of sugary dunes, sparkling lake and blue-green gulf. The generous pool deck, featuring a heated pool and hot tub, and multiple verandas offer respite for sun and shade lovers alike. The outdoor breezeway includes a wood-burning fireplace with gas logs and a Viking grill. A wood-paneled elevator services all three levels of this traditionally appointed home. Arched doorways, paneled doors, a three-story, wrought iron stair railing and stone floors create an authentic Old World, European-style atmosphere.
