378 Blue Mountain Rd, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459

A unique Gulf Front home, French inspired, is clearly evidenced from the first entry thru the gate to the walled courtyard. Lush landscaping with a deep well irrigation system supports over 30 palm trees shading benches, statuary and trickling fountains. A sunken garden features a seating area for quiet, private reflection or a perfect reading nook. Bluestone slate covers all paved areas inside and out including the driveway, walkways, and garage flooring as well as interior floors. No detail was overlooked in this home which has 8 sets of French style imported antique, mahogany doors incorporated into the floor plan of this house. The current owners completely rebuilt the original 1957 concrete block house in 1993. The windows and all transoms were custom made to match the design of doors as well as inch raised paneled mahogany shutters to protect the doors. Garage doors are true carriage house style doors which swing out electronically. A Great room provides a view of the gulf as you enter the home, allowing great views from the dining room, kitchen, living, and bar areas. Separating the gourmet kitchen from the living room is a 14 ft antique railroad station receipt counter made of golden oak, which has been built in and fitted with cabinets to match the kitchen. An antique grape picking basket filled with dried grasses and flowers hangs over the Thermidor professional range & an 8 ft French country oak work table providing the gourmet cook and assistants plenty of work space for delicious gourmet meals or a quick casual snack between dips in the gulf. A large walk in pantry provides space for provisions. Antique lighting fixtures hang from ceilings throughout the home including Alabaster bank lights and a charming schoolhouse fixture over the kitchen sinks. 12 to 16 ft. ceilings lend an air of spaciousness to this casually elegant home and displays the American tiger oak carved mantel with curved glass book cases on each side soaring to the ceiling from its raised bluestone hearth. The fireplace is still wood burning but plumbed for gas if desired. All 3 bedrooms have their en suite baths with tumbled marble floors. The 75' of gulf front sports a 3 level deck, a covered porch and a sunken fire pit for chilly evenings. A Seawall was installed in 2005 complete with all permitting from both State and Federal Levels in place BEFORE construction. There are no legal issues with this wall with any government agency which could save the new homeowner time for more surf and sand time.
