Welcome to 194 West Kingston Drive, the celebrated 2012 Coastal Living Magazine Ultimate Beach House. Designed by Lew Oliver, built by Stan Banecki, and elevated by renowned interior designer Jonathan Savage, this home blends timeless architecture, Venetian plaster walls, shiplap ceilings, and thoughtful upgrades into a one-of-a-kind residence. Situated on one of Rosemary Beach's largest and most private lots, the property offers a rare combination of scale, privacy, and design pedigree. Built with families in mind, the home was designed so that three or four different age groups can comfortably gather while still having their own retreat. From expansive living spaces to intimate enclaves, every detail of the layout encourages connection while offering privacy, relaxation, and luxury. Stepping through a 12-foot entryway, the main level features the primary suite with en-suite bath, two additional guest quarters with their own en-suite baths, and a bunk room that sleeps four. Multiple living areas, a home office, and a powder room ensure plenty of space for daily living and entertaining. The second level offers an additional guest suite with en-suite bath, a second bunk room accommodating six with its own bath, a powder room, and a second laundry. The showstopper of this floor is the in-home theater, complete with a wet bar and dual Uline refrigerator drawers, as well as another flexible living area perfect for gathering or retreat. The property extends beyond the main home with a climate-controlled two-car garage that includes a convenient powder room for pool use. Above the garage, the carriage house provides even more living flexibility with a full bathroom, wet bar, and two hideaway bunks. At the heart of the home lies an expansive private courtyard featuring a stunning 50-foot heated pool and a fully outfitted summer kitchen with a 70-inch Thermador refrigerator/freezer, Lynx 75-inch grill, and Lynx ice maker. Indoors, the chef's kitchen continues the theme of luxury with Thermador Professional appliances, including a six-burner range with griddle and a scullery and expansive pantry. Every element of 194 West Kingston has been curated for comfort, connection, and sophistication offering coastal living at its most luxurious.
