This high-spec gulf-front home is one of just four luxury dwellings in the exclusive gated community at Inlet Beach. Designed with vision by A Boheme Design and constructed to the highest standards by EarthBuild, the entire non-rental community is aesthetically pleasing with a touch of understated elegance. Spread over three floors, the accommodation has a large laundry with ice maker for packing the cooler and three beautiful ensuite bedrooms on the first floor. A morning kitchen allows guests to make their own breakfast before heading out to sit on the rotunda porch with peaceful gulf views to start the day. Steps lead down to the private beach walkover for strolling along the sand with the sandpipers, pelicans and occasional dolphins for company. Natural stone and wire-brushed wood floors, high-quality bathrooms, and quartzite countertops create a classic finish. Wood-tread stairs lead to the main living area with 14-foot ceilings on the second floor. Bright and spacious, it has a dining area, sitting area and a generous gourmet chef's kitchen, which boasts a 42-in. Sub-Zero French door refrigerator/freezer, 36-in. Wolf dual-fuel range, two ASKO dishwashers, a Wolf under-counter microwave drawer and a Sub-Zero ice maker with wine storage. Polished marble graces the large island, incorporating bar seating for cocktails and canapes before dinner. Thoughtful additional touches include a large walk-in pantry and an outdoor grill area that could be repurposed to install an elevator. Another bedroom and full bathroom are on this level, and there's another magnificent porch where you can enjoy fresh gulf breezes and alfresco dining. The third floor has a landing with office space, a second generous laundry room and a magnificent primary suite. Pecky cypress adorns the accent wall with doors hiding more storage behind. The airy bathroom has a lofty vaulted ceiling lined with tongue-and-groove. It's an inviting space to lie in the freestanding oval tub and reflect on the day. A walk-in closet provides ample hanging space and storage. Head out onto the top balcony, which has panoramic views of the emerald Gulf of Mexico and the quiet white sandy beach below. This luxury residence has Belgian cobble pavers leading to garage parking and an L-shaped neighborhood pool with shared ownership. Located on the rooftop, it has a sun deck and stunning gulf views. It adjoins an outdoor gathering place with a summer kitchen for socializing with your neighbors and an indoor meeting space with another kitchen for hosting intimate events.
