Overview
Description
Supplements: ... (Read more) Built to unyielding standards of both block and poured concrete, reinforced by up to Number 8 or one-inch steel re-bar, and supported by 49 carefully engineered and driven pilings, has allowed this home to capably withstand every hurricane to effect Northwest Florida since its completion in March of 2000 and subsequent seven-figure remodel performed in 2007 which transformed it from a simple vacation home to full-time residence. Purchased for the home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the origins of the antique teak front doors can be traced to a British fort in India. The principal living area on the main floor was kept open to maximize enjoyment of the views. It is host to a gracious dining area, gourmet kitchen, and sunny den. The kitchen is equipped with fanciful extras that include floor pedal controls for the sink faucet as well as a stone pizza oven ventilated by a triple-insulated 10-inch pipe and 1,200 cubic feet per minute Exhausto Fan. The appliance suite includes an in-counter Wolf steamer, a Wolf double oven range with custom-fabricated copper hood equipped with a German-made Braun 1,500 cubic feet per minute exhaust fan, a 36-inch Sub Zero deep freezer joined by a 36-inch Sub Zero refrigerator, a Sub Zero wine cooler, a Bosch dishwasher, and heavy-duty Insinkerator garbage disposal. An on-call fresh air return was installed in the kitchen to meet the high ventilation requirements. In addition to the kitchen is a spacious butler's pantry with separate sink, Bosch dishwasher, and GE Monogram ice maker, as well as a separate fine China storage closet. Polished travertine stone floors carry throughout the entire home with exception to the natural wool carpet found in the two second floor guest bedrooms and master bedroom. Among the many comfortable rooms found throughout the home is an open second floor loft. The second floor Gulf front master bedroom features a Calcutta marble-clad spa bath with double vanity, private water closet, steam shower, and Bain Ultra tub nestled in a cozy alcove with Gulf view. Its walk-in closet offers an abundance of hanging and drawer storage, as well as a Calcutta marble vanity. The bedroom and adjacent office or sitting area with built-in cabinets and gas fireplace are positioned to embrace the breathtaking landscape via wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling Andersen windows used throughout the home, equipped with storm shutters on the Gulf side, in addition to more recent Kolbe & Kolbe impact windows used on the additions made in 2007. These additions included a third floor media room that has more recently been transformed into yet another Gulf front master bedroom. Among its features are a private Gulf front balcony, wet bar, walk-in closet, and entirely new marble-clad bath with free-standing slipper tub, spacious shower with unique, beveled subway tile surround, as well as a double vanity with quartz counter and private water closet. The custom Cox pool is gently screened by scrub oaks that cover the steeply sloped dunes on the Gulf side of the home, traversed by a private, gated boardwalk leading directly to the beach.

Remarks & Misc
- Remarks
- From its Gulf front vantage point 36 feet above sea level, this inheritable home presides over a truly rare and enviable vista that captures both an extremely deep beach, as well as the confluence of the Gulf of Mexico and Big Redfish Lake. Big Redfish Lake is one of only 15 coastal dune lakes found along Scenic Highway 30A in South Walton, one of but a few locations worldwide that include the island of Madagascar, Australia, New Zealand, and Oregon where such natural phenomena occur.
