Craftsman Style

The distinctive architecture of T.S. Adams is immediately evident in this characterful WaterSound beach house. Boasting a typical Cape Cod/Nantucket appearance, this beautiful residence has a shingle-clad exterior, a romantic Juliet balcony, and a host of dormer windows creating added appeal. Three floors of spacious living are reached by stairs or elevator, and there's an additional surprise with a fourth-floor tower room. Equipped with a wet bar and refrigerator, it's a unique den for families to watch their favorite movies on the hidden-lift TV or enjoy stunning sunset views from the adjoining open deck. Wire-brushed oak floors are just one example of the incredible attention to detail that this home showcases. The open-concept living space is enhanced by warm wood tones and modern finishes, creating a seamless blend of charm and functionality. The great room offers a large open floor plan beneath a soaring coffered ceiling with rich wood panels picked out by sturdy white beams. A brick fireplace with a solid wood mantlepiece creates a cozy sitting area for putting your feet up, while the dining area is amply spacious for family celebrations and entertaining. The entire room is flooded with natural light through a series of tall windows and transoms. French doors open onto a private covered deck with a summer kitchen, perfect for barbecues and alfresco dining. The gourmet kitchen is truly special, with a lavish marble-topped island, three sinks, multiple cabinets and upscale Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. It extends around a corner into an open butler's pantry/prep area, complete with a wine refrigerator and ice maker. Six guests can sit at the bar for snacks or hors d'oeuvres before dinner. Five bedrooms include a stunning first-floor master suite with the same coffered ceiling, board-and-batten walls and a generous walk-in closet with custom built-ins. The spa-like master bath is truly magnificent, with white marble tiles complementing the standalone tub. The twin vanity incorporates a make-up area and a mirror TV. The upper floors include an additional living area and an oversized bunk room for four with lots of elbow room and storage space for toys and treasures. Three additional guest bedrooms, all with ensuite baths, include a second floor master. It has a wood-beamed ceiling and French doors opening onto an upper porch with a charming swing seat. Where better to spend quiet time reading and enjoying the sights and sounds of nature? Six bathrooms provide everyone with their own privacy. A cabin-like office (one of two) creates a valuable space for those working from home. The outdoor area is exceptionally private, allowing you to enjoy the peaceful surroundings from multiple screened and covered porches. A large two-car garage offers ample space to store golf carts, bicycles and beach chairs when not in use. A whole-home security system provides additional peace of mind. Pocket parks and neighborhood pools allow you to enjoy this exclusive community to the full. There's also a state-of-the-art fitness center and miles of boardwalks leading to one of the most beautiful beaches in South Walton.
