Property Description
As you arrive at this stately estate, you're welcomed by mature, manicured landscaping and an expansive brick paver circular drive centered around an exquisite Italian fountain perfectly framing the limestone-clad façade of this chateau-inspired masterpiece. Constructed with nearly 9-inch thick poured concrete exterior walls, the home offers unparalleled structural integrity and timeless grandeur. The entrance is marked by a pair of magnificent, hand-carved mahogany doors, each standing 8 feet tall, opening into a breathtaking two-story foyer crowned with a soaring 22-foot domed ceiling. A sweeping freestanding curved staircase known as the 'wedding' stair graces the space, crafted in rich wood and adorned with intricate ironwork. Italian marble columns, dual Juliette balconies, and grand architectural symmetry elevate the ambiance. Throughout the estate, natural oak hardwood floors, 10-foot ceilings, and lavish Venetian plaster walls are complemented by elaborate millwork, including 14-inch baseboards and crown moldings ranging from 8 to 14 inches each detail a testament to timeless artistry and refined craftsmanship.
Just off the grand foyer, refined functionality allows access to a tastefully appointed powder room, a private elevator, and two oversized garages accommodating up to four vehicles and/or a golf cart, complete with newly finished polyaspartic-coated floors for a sleek, durable finish. Beyond the foyer, the estate opens to expansive, light-filled living spaces framed by grand windows and elegant French doors, inviting in an abundance of natural light. The formal dining room is an entertainer's dream, currently showcasing an ornate Italian table that comfortably seats twelve beneath a custom-painted ceiling medallion and a striking Art Deco-inspired glass chandelier. The chef's kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring refreshed custom cabinetry with sleek contemporary hardware, granite countertops and backsplash, a spacious walk-in pantry with custom shelving, a generous center island, and a separate breakfast bar. High-end appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Thermador double ovens, Viking gas range and microwave, and more, ensure culinary perfection in every detail. Anchoring the living area is a stunning marble gas fireplace flanked by custom wood built-ins, offering warmth and timeless charm. Hidden within the home's refined design are two private studies what we fondly call its 'secrets.' One office exudes soft elegance with lighter tones, built-in bookcases, and dual French Empire crystal chandeliers, while the second office/den is richly appointed with Brazilian wood accents, intricate custom shelving, dramatic 10-foot Italian marble columns, wood-paneled walls, and wood-coffered ceilings evoking the grandeur of a European gentleman's library.
Occupying the second floor, the opulent primary suite offers a private sanctuary of sophistication and comfort. A serene balcony overlooks the pool area, while a marble-clad gas fireplace adds warmth and timeless elegance. Rare and indulgent, the suite boasts dual spa-inspired ensuites, each with its own distinct design narrative. One bath evokes a coastal serenity with soft hues of cream and blue, featuring a freestanding tub/shower, a water closet, oak wood floors, a waterfall-inspired glass sink, granite countertops, makeup vanity, custom cabinetry, and an expansive custom walk-in closet. The second bath channels a Roman-inspired ambiance with rich tan and cream tones, heated marble floors, a marble walk-in shower, private sauna, traditional single vanity, and its own custom walk-in closet. This extraordinary suite redefines luxury living with thoughtful design and unparalleled comfort.
The second level hosts three additional generously proportioned bedroom suites, each a private sanctuary featuring its own architecturally distinctive en-suite bath. Appointed with granite-topped single vanities, private water closets, and custom tiled walk-in showers (one suite also boasting a deep soaking tub) these retreats combine timeless elegance with modern comfort. Custom walk-in wardrobes complete each suite, offering both style and function. Adjacent to the bedrooms, a spacious utility room enhances daily living with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and an oversized utility sink thoughtfully designed for seamless multitasking and refined efficiency. The third floor is devoted to a refined entertainment suite. At one end, a cozy cinema lounge adjoins a discreet half bath. The central space features a classic billiards table, while the far end offers a stylish gaming corner and bespoke wet bar ideal for relaxed, sophisticated gatherings.
The grandeur of the estate continues beyond its walls, where the outdoor living spaces are nothing short of enchanting. A private, resort-style oasis awaits within the fully enclosed lanai, elegantly finished with travertine tile flooring and centered around a spectacular 19' x 36' pool and an 8' x 8' elevated spa. A dedicated outdoor pool bath adds convenience, while every element has been thoughtfully designed for both lavish entertaining and serene relaxation. The alfresco experience is elevated by a fully appointed outdoor kitchen and bar, featuring top-of-the-line Viking and Lynx appliances, including a gas grill, gas stove, dual refrigerators, and a professional-grade pizza oven. Multiple fire features a gas fireplace with mounted television, a natural gas firepit, and a charming wood-burning firepit create inviting ambiance day or night. Extending the luxury to the water's edge, a private, 300-foot lighted pier leads to the tranquil canal just off Choctawhatchee Bay. Complete with a picturesque sitting area and dock with a boat lift / boat house being completed by Summer, it offers a serene vantage point for morning coffees, sunset reflections, or effortless access to the waterway by boat completing this exceptional coastal retreat.
Thoughtfully designed for refined living, this exquisite château offers timeless elegance and effortless comfort just moments from the best of the Emerald Coast. A rare offering that must be experienced to be truly appreciated.
