Property Description

Nestled on a generous lot in The Retreat and enjoying private water frontage on Draper Lake, this architectural masterpiece has stunning views of both the lake as well as the Gulf, creating truly the best of both worlds. Expansive balconies on all three levels afford ample space for entertaining and show-stopping views from all three floors. Boasting more than 6,800 square feet of exquisite living space, this home was built in 2014 to a design by architect Tom Christ. The home was built in compliance with Fortified Home Construction Standards including steel-reinforced concrete construction beneath a concrete roof.Spread over three floors, the main living area is on the second floor and features a large stone gas fireplace and stunning hardwood flooring. As well as a chef's kitchen and a generous living space, this level also includes a large guest suite, an office (or additional bedroom/bonus room), with an en suite bath and a half bath. The gourmet kitchen is ideal for enjoying family meals and entertaining with two large kitchen islands, one of which that includes a cooling drawer and ice maker. Thermador appliances and quartzite countertops add a high-end finish. The top floor has a magnificent master suite with views for days. There's also an additional office/den with a cozy fireplace and a second laundry area with a washer and dryer. Hardwood flooring graces the upper floors, and custom cabinetry in the his and hers closet, also hides a built-in safe. The first floor has natural limestone flooring throughout, providing a practical finish, particularly in the mud/sand room. There's an ice maker for topping up the cooler before heading out for a day of fishing or beach-based fun. On your return, there's easy access to an outdoor shower for rinsing off sandy feet. The ground floor also has three beautiful bedrooms, four bathrooms and a bright courtyard. A large cedar closet provides additional storage on the first floor. Of course, a house of this size and stature has far more to offer, such as the climate-controlled wine room and the gym-sized storage room with heating and cooling on the ground level. It would make an excellent exercise room with plenty of room to install your own state-of-the-art equipment, UV sauna or anything your heart desires. This luxury retreat also features Smart technology throughout and has a central vacuum system. Designer lighting, plantation shutters and electric shades make every room both comfortable and functional. Since its conception, this home has been meticulously maintained, including new HVAC systems on all three floors with built-in dehumidifiers. It also benefits from a whole-house water filtration system and three tankless water heaters to support all eight luxury bathrooms. This peaceful home comes with oversized parking as well. The Retreat features 3,000 feet of private gulf frontage, a world-class beach club, gated and guarded entry, direct access to Draper Lake for watersports, and a natural buffer courtesy of the private preserve. Known as the most private community on 30A, residents enjoy exclusive beach chair and umbrella service, patrolled security and multiple community entertaining spaces, enhancing an idyllic ownership experience beyond compare.
