Every so often, a truly remarkable ownership experience presents itself along the Emerald Coast and this 3,900-sq.-ft.-plus retreat presiding over gulf views and protected sand dunes is befitting of the title. It has been exquisitely maintained as a second home, offering a turnkey escape for those looking for solace at the beach. Epitomizing both Nantucket-inspired design as well as a southern Craftsman-style build, this WaterSound Beach gem is replete with multiple outdoor living spaces that combine to exceed 1,600 square feet of porches, a watch tower with gulf views and a private saltwater pool with nearby summer kitchen. Inside is a mix of warm wood flooring, cool granite and limestone countertops for an elevated living experience. The kitchen is finished with Thermador appliances and a butler's pantry, flowing into a living room with beamed ceilings and a fireplace. The four bedrooms are spacious including a lush owner's suite that features a sitting area with gulf views and a spa-like en suite bath. A bunk room that sleeps four and a two-car garage add additional sleeping accommodations and conveniences. WaterSound Beach is a captivating coastal community connected by winding wooden boardwalks and trails in an idyllic setting that includes access to the sandy white beaches, a neighborhood swimming pool, green spaces, golf courses and all of the shopping, dining, entertainment and attractions available in South Walton.
