About this home

An architectural masterpiece created by renowned architect Steven Shortridge, is located on a rare coastal dune lake cradling the Gulf of Mexico. The property's natural surroundings are highlighted with expansive windows and extraordinary outdoor living spaces. A dramatic entry, towering pole columns and angled Cypress beams command attention from the moment you step inside. An open floor plan offers comfortable entertaining spaces, and the living room features ''Noon Day Prayer,'' a large original painting by well-known artist Darren Waterston. Take in beautiful views from several porches and decks including a fourth-floor tower that offers cinematic views of Eastern Lake and the gulf. The main house includes three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, a two-car garage with built-in storage, and an elevator allows for easy access to each floor of the home. This property also offers a carriage house for guests with a spacious vaulted ceiling, a kitchen, and a master suite above an additional three-car garage. The carriage house also hosts a studio apartment with a half bath. Water vessels and beach toys can be stowed away in a boathouse just off the pier, built beneath a huge outdoor deck. Scenic 30A is known for its 15 named coastal dune lakes and world-famous New Urbanism developments. Offering 4,414 square feet of living space, this legacy property provides a unique opportunity to live in a custom home on Eastern Lake with no homeowner's association.
