Rustic Elegance. This exquisite residence, conceived by an international fashion photographer and his wife and built by Boyd Martin, is situated on a large, coveted corner homesite within Watercolor's Phase 3. Precise attention to every detail, this luxury home features 1,800 square feet of deep screened-in porches, 10-inch plank flooring throughout, and 12-foot ceilings. Wall surfaces of stucco, plaster, and Wainscoting throughout. The first floor living features a gourmet kitchen, fully appointed with a 48'' 6-burner gas range, Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator, warming drawer, Bosch dishwasher, gold dust honed-marble counters, and a large hammered nickel sink. The first floor living and dining area open to a deep screened-in porch with a built-in summer kitchen featuring a DCS gas grill. Open the wrap-around French doors and relax on the porch, enjoying the Gulf breezes while sipping coffee in the mornings and dining al fresco in the evenings. The second floor houses 3 bedrooms, including the Master Suite and two guest rooms. Additional features include Weathershield Life Guard 150mph impact windows and doors, a tankless Rannai water system, ADT security system, water filtration system, wine bar with a 48-bottle wine refrigerator, and custom cabinetry throughout. Quite spectacular is the finely-appointed carriage house, located over a two-car garage. Solidly constructed with the finest materials, few Watercolor homes have been constructed to this level of quality and finish.
