A BRILLIANT AND INCOMPARABLE FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT INSPIRED BEACHFRONT MASTERWORK! Designed by a 1959 Taliesin fellow and protg of the renowned Frank Lloyd Wright, this remarkable mid-century estate breathes a unique and timeless elegance into the beachfront living experience. Its ingeniously-configured topography carries you gently to first floor living spaces that sit near ground level, yet rest a full 8+ feet above the waterline (no seawater has ever entered the living areas of this home). A lovely private courtyard yields to an inspiring, artisan-hand-crafted mahogany entry – hinting at the rarity of what’s to come. Step inside to the towering 18ft-high foyer and discover the true architectural splendor of the Wright vision. Well-conceived angles and clean structured patterns focused on consistency, practicality and livability - while mid-century in orientation - feel new, refreshing and exciting to the mind’s eye. French Parefeuille Terracotta tilework (uncommon at the time), innovative custom woodworking, harmoniously-integrated materials, extensive recessed lighting (well ahead of its time) and tasteful custom-textured wall finishes radiate a luxurious and vibrant allure! Overlooking the Gulf, your resplendent 15ft-high living area, with marble fireplace and custom entertainment center, features gorgeous and creatively-imagined built-ins that blend seamlessly into the environment - the definition of sophistication in form and function. Step up to the graceful waterfront dining area with beautiful built-in serving center - a genuine showpiece. Kitchen offers fine recessed ceilings, granite surfaces, superb cabinetry, Subzero/Thermador/Bosch appliances, hidden pocketing doors, and a terrific casual Gulf front breakfast nook. Magnificently-adorned in wood, the grand multi-function executive library will inspire your intellect and your senses. The home’s exquisite flying staircase introduces an impressive beachfront owner’s suite with expansive sitting area, and custom built-in credenzas. Step out to the private, covered, 23ft-wide owner’s balcony and take-in commanding, panoramic views of the beach and Gulf. Extraordinary owner’s bath enjoys two oversized walk-in closets with built-in dressers, separate his and hers vanities with dazzling marble surfaces, a dedicated sit-down cosmetics center, a richly-encased jetted spa tub, a private shower enclosure, rest room with bidet, mini-fitness area with skylights, and extensive auxiliary storage. Second upper-level bedroom suite is spacious, while the large first floor bedroom can be made ensuite (on demand) with adjoining guest bath. Full size 4th bath is the ideal pool bath. Your elevated back yard area is just heavenly. Perfectly landscaped to preserve your beach/water views, you will appreciate the substantial travertine paver deck, heated spool (spa/mini-pool), and generous space for lounging and outdoor dining. From your 8ft-high seawall/retaining wall - a private, gated staircase with outdoor shower descends to the beach level. This remarkable home has so many value-added extras including, electronic storm shutters, electronic interior window treatments, a 17ft-wide built-in greenhouse, 200sqft concrete block storage area, tankless HW heating, whole house water softening, dedicated workshop, and so much more. An ageless and enduring coastal marvel! Dimensions are estimates, buyer to verify.
