Perched gracefully within the coveted gates of Watersound Beach, this architectural gem redefines casual elegance along the Gulf Coast. Thoughtfully designed by TS Adams and masterfully built by Gulf View Construction, this four-story residence seamlessly blends refined craftsmanship with the laid-back luxury of coastal life. Positioned on a premium lot with unobstructed views of rolling dunes and shimmering Gulf waters, the home invites you in with accordion-style doors that dissolve the boundaries between indoor comfort and outdoor splendor. Multiple open-air terraces and covered decks span every level — including a fourth-floor tower—creating the perfect backdrop for sunset cocktails, stargazing soirees, or sun-drenched afternoons. At the heart of the home, a gourmet chef's kitchen dazzles with lustrous granite counters, shiplap accents, a Dacor 6-burner gas range, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator  tailored for both culinary ambition and relaxed entertaining. Five uniquely styled bedroom suites are thoughtfully arranged across three floors, each offering proximity to the home's inviting gathering spaces. Every level features its own lounge, wet bar, half bath, laundry, and ice maker  designed with both convenience and comfort in mind. Step outside into your own private resort. A heated infinity-edge pool anchors the outdoor living area, while a tranquil coastal bed swing invites quiet reflection. Three wood-burning fireplaces  two outdoors and one inside  set the tone for cozy gatherings year-round. Multiple lounging nooks, outdoor televisions, and a screened first-floor porch create versatile spaces for relaxation and entertainment. The lush garden gate opens to a boardwalk that winds through protected dunes, leading to the sugar-white sands of the Gulf. Along the way, enjoy access to the neighborhood's pool and dining amenities, just moments from your door. Meticulous ownership is evident throughout, with a long list of premium upgrades and thoughtful care. In 2024 alone, the home saw a new composite/metal roof, new shake siding, fresh exterior paint, full exterior waterproofing, and a complete third-floor interior renovation. While the third-floor HVAC system is entirely new, the existing outdoor units were retained  ensuring transparency while showcasing the investment in comfort. In 2023, two tankless water heaters were installed, the exterior fencing was replaced, and the screened porch was added. In 2025, the pool heater motherboard and lithium golf cart batteries were updated to maintain peak performance. Beyond upgrades, consistent maintenance speaks to a standard of excellence. Monthly pest control has been in place since construction. Doors and windows receive annual care from EF San Juan. Appliances have been proactively serviced by Mr. Appliance since 2020, and the elevator is professionally inspected by Panhandle Elevator each year. A fully integrated Control4 smart home system, installed and maintained by WattSound, offers modern convenience with intuitive control. Wrapped in a classic Nantucket-style exterior with mildew-resistant paint, stone pavers, and low-maintenance native landscaping, this home was built for enduring beauty and ease. The elevator services all three floors, ensuring accessibility for every generation. Never rented and impeccably maintained, this coastal retreat is more than a home  it's a legacy, ready to host cherished memories and timeless moments along Florida's Emerald Coast.
