230 W Bermuda Drive, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459
Overview
Description
Supplements: ... (Read more) The unprecedented elevation of the site, 35 feet above sea level, resulted in a unique courtyard entrance. The foyer is a true transitional space enveloped by tabby stone walls at the juncture of the main house and attached carriage house suite, located above the garage which offers direct elevator access to each floor. An ADA-compliant guest suite on the first floor is joined by a bunk room with Japanese soaking tub and dedicated media room, all ensconcing a stone terrace with fire pit. From the terrace, a path weaves through a grove of scrub oak to a private dock on Draper Lake where kayaks and paddle boards can be launched into calm waters which are intermittently connected to the Gulf of Mexico. The sun-drenched second floor features a Gulf view Florida room, dining room, lakefront living room, grilling porch, and modern kitchen with wine room. Distinctive floor and ceiling treatments distinguish the open spaces from one another; a wood coffered ceiling in the Florida room, an antique mirror inlay ceiling and stone inset wood floor in the dining room, and a scissor-truss cathedral ceiling in the living room inspiring grace and grandeur. The third floor is dedicated to the master retreat. The bedroom gazes over the entirety of The Retreat towards the Gulf of Mexico. Twin vanities, a dual shower, and two-person light therapy tub filled from the ceiling create a spa setting in the master bath. A private porch set on an east west axis captures both sunrise and sunset. An office with built-in cabinetry provides a serene work space and a loft gym with wet bar, an inspiring space to work out. The acrylic catwalk creates the sensation of floating above the living room as it joins the loft with a secluded lakefront porch with gulf view, triumphantly concluding the odyssey through this extraordinary home.

Remarks & Misc
- Remarks
- A lakefront legacy home for the architectural connoisseur, this show home was the first of its kind to be built in The Retreat, introducing a Dutch Caribbean style to the gated, Gulf front neighborhood. This style heritage is characterized by parapet walls and smooth stucco coating over the cement block exterior. Two of the most preeminent luxury home design firms in Northwest Florida approached the project with the intention of creating the finest home possible for the site. Custom details reveal themselves with time, and new discoveries are made with each experience. Across the street is the most scenic beach access in The Retreat, skirting majestic dunes as it approaches 3,000 feet of pristine private beach front.
