Set within the coastal community of Rosemary Beach, this newly renovated custom Benecki residence blends architectural scale and modern coastal living just moments from the Gulf. Spanning approximately 6,000 square feet, the six-bedroom, eight-bathroom home was designed by Atlanta designer Melanie Turner with an emphasis on detail, this property features limestone floors, hand-crafted beams, Venetian plaster walls, custom millwork, and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures establishing a timeless interior palette rooted in time rather than trend. The main living area centers around a feature fireplace and a chef's kitchen anchored by an expansive social bar overlooking the living room. A 12-foot glass sliding door extends the interiors into a private courtyard with a resort-style pool, covered lounge areas, and landscaped outdoor living space that neighbors the separate guest quarters above the detached two-car garage complete the residence, offering a rare balance of architecture and luxurious retreat. The second floor introduces a quieter rhythm with an expansive primary suite, oversized walk-in closet, and a carefully designed bath beneath a statement chandelier. Additional guest suites maintain privacy through thoughtful circulation and scale, while the third floor adds flexibility with a large bunk room, surround-sound movie room, and additional guest accommodations.
