This residence is packed with modern, state-of-the-art features and architectural design elements, blending cutting-edge technology with refined coastal elegance. From the moment you enter, the horizon commands attention through expansive floor-to-ceiling pocketing glass doors engineered for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The open-concept main level showcases a Gulf-front great room and dining area, a chef's kitchen appointed with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, walk-in pantry, full conversation bar, and temperature-controlled wine room, all flowing effortlessly to the Gulf-front lanai with outdoor kitchen. Comprehensive smart home integration includes Control4 automation, 34 in-ceiling speakers, motorized Lutron shades throughout, and a commercial-grade elevator servicing all levels. All windows and sliding glass doors are hurricane-impact rated, providing both security and peace of mind. Every bedroom is designed as a private suite with its own bathroom and walk-in closet, offering exceptional comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. The upper level also includes a dedicated fitness studio, creating a fully self-contained retreat experience within the home. On the ground level, the Gulf-front resort-style pool and expansive entertaining terrace create a private coastal compound atmosphere. The oversized pool with negative-edge spa is complemented by multiple outdoor living and dining areas, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and a built-in television designed for seamless alfresco entertaining. Professionally designed landscaping and low-maintenance turf enhance both privacy and ease of ownership. A six-car garage and expansive paver driveway provide generous space for owners and guests.
