About this home
If you've been looking for a sign to finally trade your morning commute for a front-row seat to the Atlantic, 26 Gold Ribbon Drive is it. This isn't just a renovated oceanfront home; it's a masterclass in "coastal cool" brought to life by the visionaries at Psychological Interiors. Forget the kitschy driftwood signs - this is sophisticated, high-end design that still invites you to kick off your shoes and stay a while. The heart of the house is a Porcelanosa kitchen so sleek it might actually inspire you to cook. However, with plenty of local spots nearby, nobody would blame you for opting to explore the area's variety of dining, shopping, and recreation options. With four bedrooms and a loft that sleeps six, you'll have plenty of space for guests, or just extra room to hide from them. The first-floor primary has direct access to a grassy area, and the second-floor primary suite is a true sanctuary, with elevated ocean views and an en-suite bath that feels like a spa. Step outside onto the expansive patio, where the views are so wide you can practically see the curvature of the earth. Keep an eye out for the local seals - they're the only neighbors allowed to be louder than you. When the tide is right, take your private stairway directly down to the sand for a dip, then rinse off the salt in the outdoor shower. Whether you're looking for a high-performing investment or a permanent place to watch the sun AND moon rise over the water, this home delivers effortless luxury usually found only in glossy magazines. Welcome to the beach. We think you're going to like it here.
