Evoking the essence of Salacia, female divinity of the sea, Frank McKinney has seductively summoned her fiery passion from the depths and splashed it across the sun-drenched canvas at 19 Tropical Drive, Ocean Ridge, Florida. A swirling tonic of evocative oceanscape and harmonious rhythm wash over you as you enter Salacia. This poetic masterpiece engulfs you in the shimmering calm and elusive details found only in the sea. Vicinity to the beach and Atlantic Ocean is desirable and present, a mere 345+/- feet away from the cresting azure blue waves. Effortlessly breathe in the salty air from the outdoor Brazilian hardwood decks as you invite tranquility into your day with peeks of the glistening waters from your second level balcony. Salacia's playfully shifting moods are encouraged by color theory at its absolute finest – as each room is equipped with unique broad-spectrum lighting that can be customized at the touch of a button or app. Salacia draws energy from two stunning focal points – kitchen countertops crafted out of sea glass and a living reef aquarium. The kitchen counter tops won't be found anywhere else, as thousands of pieces of sea glass were harvested from beaches around the world, melted down and placed into a custom mold that resembles the undulating sea bottom sand created by warm Caribbean currents. The countertops are programmed to show every color and hue imaginable. The living reef, with its 38 living creatures, provides alluring entertainment as it glows in a variety of colors with control from an app. The most enticing feature is the tank's "storm mode." Watch the environment darken as the storm clouds roll in, while intense flashing lights simulate lighting. "It replicates a storm that you'd find in the middle of the ocean," says McKinney. Intoxicate your senses as you experience this sensational home – run your fingertips along the unparalleled sea glass countertops; flex your feet on the lush, white wool deep shag carpeting of the master suite; listen to the pulsating aquarium waters; hypnotize your eyes on the various sea life-esque chandeliers; and feast on epicurean delights in your chef's kitchen. A shelter from the storm, Salacia provides the utmost in hurricane refuge. Take comfort knowing you and your loved ones are safe in this CAT 5-strong impact glass home with poured concrete walls. Frank McKinney has flawlessly demonstrated the ease of luxury beach side living with Salacia. His 30+ years of artistic creations and worldly travel have afforded this home details and high-end amenities you will not discover elsewhere. Indefinitely wild, with the serenity of the running tides, Salacia will leave you longing to return to your seaside home. Salacia invites you to experience a 3-dimensional habitable art form. One-of-a-kind, the owner of this creation will possess the essence of the ocean in the most spectacular variety – their home.
