This distinctive custom home was built with security and sustainability in mind. Constructed on pilings at over 16 ft. elevation and protected by a 50 year metal roof, impact windows and a whole house generator, it is expected to stand the test of time. With 4 bedrooms and plenty of flex space to future-proof your needs, the understated quality will bring a lasting sense of comfort. Main living spaces feel fresh and open, thanks to the 10 ft. ceilings and natural lighting. Commercial grade, engineered, maplewood floors bring a sense of balance and will fit multiple style choices. Classic features in the kitchen include custom cabinets, timeless quartz countertops and a handcrafted backsplash. A large central island has a deep double sink and bar seating. The kitchen adjoins a breakfast nook and the great room, which is anchored by a gas fireplace and built-ins for your curated items. Privacy is accommodated by placement of the resting and working spaces in separate quadrants of the home. The Master Suite has access to the rear balcony. The ensuite bath contains a tiled shower, whirlpool tub, dual vanities and an enormous walk-in closet. All bedrooms have wonderful window light and generous closet space. A 15 x 24 ft. bonus room has a bright southern exposure, water views and is just waiting to be personalized. Outside, the upper deck is constructed from durable Trex planks and aluminum railings with safety glass panels to preserve the view. The lower patio is partially covered and surrounds a heated vinyl pool with cascading spa tub. A screen enclosure creates fabulous outdoor entertaining options, complete with surround sound, an enclosed sandbox play area, an outdoor shower and a gas connection for your grill. The potential of the ground floor space is untapped; a home gym, gameroom and workshop could all fit here and the sealed cement floor feels cooling and also cleanable. Located in the A-rated school Gulf Breeze School District and minutes to the beach.
