This custom home on Santa Rosa Sound is a rare opportunity to live on one of only nine lots to offer one hundred eighty-degree unobstructed views of the Sound. A protected twelve thousand pound covered boat lift is behind on a private owners' canal. Tie up to the fifty-foot by ten-foot Trex dock that includes wet-sink and two hundred square foot auxiliary building. This cul-de-sac neighborhood is east of the Naval Live Oaks Preserve and a quick cruise to the Gulf or dock-side restaurants. Enjoy nature's beauty from a salt-water pool and one thousand two hundred ninety-eight square feet of Trex decks and patios. On the main living level, a spacious foyer features custom artisan tiles and private office with closet. French doors open to a living/dining area with stunning floor-to-ceiling views of the sound. Winters are particularly cozy in front of a gas fire with custom Peter King bas-relief tile. The wet bar is definitely a charming party starter, while the south facing rooms provide hypnotic views of sparkling water, wading birds and fireworks across the Sound. Cooks will appreciate a well designed kitchen with double ovens/warming drawers and walk-thru pantry to a laundry room where an electric dumbwaiter services all floors. Two more bedrooms, one full bathroom and powder room complete the living floor. On the third floor is a large, light-filled suite with a sun deck, wood beam cathedral ceiling, and a remote-controlled fireplace. The room has additional space for a refreshment bar or seating area. The suite has two walk-in closets, deep jetted tub and separate walk-in shower with water closet. Up a short ship's ladder is the Crow's Nest with glass doors to a viewing balcony - think artist loft or nap nook. On the first floor is a multipurpose room with large screen projection television and full bathroom along with a separate handyman's room. Mature trees and palms thrive with a deep-well irrigation system. The exterior has been totally renovated with new Hardi plank siding, Trex decks/stairs, and new roof in September 2025.
