Located on what many refer to as the Golden Mile, this custom home with heated salt water pool is a rare find. Just a mile from shopping, restaurants, bars and the boat ramp, this spot is the perfect combination of convenience and privacy. As you pull in the driveway you'll feel how special this place is. The landscaping, designed and installed by a brilliant landscape architect from Birmingham, Alabama, is unlike other properties you've seen on the island. The use of native plants and carefully chosen specimens creates a haven from the rest of the world. Before you enter the house, take a minute to appreciate the ample space for parking. And next to the storage room is the perfect spot for a pingpong table. You'll also love the little things, like the foot wash station tucked under the side stairs. This is the perfect place to rinse sandy toes and sandy paws - or that magical shell or shark's tooth! The ground floor entry is crowned by a fabulous driftwood light fixture. Drop shoes or beach bags here before heading upstairs to check out the grand living space that stretches across the front of the home. Here you'll fall in love with the open flow between living, kitchen and dining areas. This is the hub of daily life at the beach. Details like a built in banquette, huge pantry/laundry area, multi functional kitchen island and stunning vaulted ceiling with loads of natural light make this a show stopping space. Imagine cozy breakfasts and big, joyful dinners in this space. Head down the hall to take a look at the guest bedrooms and hall bath. Again, lovingly designed and ready for you and your guests. The primary bedroom on the back of the home has a generous closet and a delightful master bath with gorgeous tile shower. Its hard to resist running to the back yard but go check out the upstairs first! Every kid and kid at heart loves the 4th bedroom/loft area. Currently used as a game room, the front space overlooking the living room could also serve as a home office or reading nook. At the end of the hall is a crowd favorite - the bunk room. Here you'll find nautical inspired, custom built bunks tucked into the eaves to accommodate 4. Carefully designed features include reading lights, individual shelves, storage under each bed and privacy curtains. The 1/2 bath is the icing on the cake! Time to see the oasis that is the back yard! Of course the pool and the slide steal the show, they are outstanding. But look around and you'll see lots of little gems. The tanning ledge in the pool is an outstanding feature. There's a nook just for the grill with space for a couple chairs close by. At the back of the yard the pavers open up to another favorite - the hammock - perfect for kids to swing or to read a book and nap on a warm afternoon. Another spot with pavers by the stairs is sized just right for a couple loungers and an umbrella. Tucked along the north side of the house you'll find pool equipment and HVAC. And don't forget the outdoor shower. Even this space was given thoughtful consideration - no door to swing in the wind, no latch to rust, plenty of space for kids! Don't miss the storage room, another outstanding feature. Built to keep owner equipment separate from tenant necessities, this is just one more thoughtfully designed feature you'll come to appreciate. This is the perfect place for beach chairs, bikes, surf boards and all the toys you'll enjoy playing with at the coast. Hurricane shutters, water heater and additional pool supplies are also stored here.
