Property Description

There are rare moments in real estate when location, architecture and lifestyle converge in harmony, and this is one of them. Tucked away at end of prestigious Bay Drive, a hidden harbor reveals itself: a serene boat basin with pristine, direct Gulf access. At its heart lies a private peninsula of sea walled land, graced by an awe-inspiring residence that feels as if it floats above the water. From nearly every room, panoramic views unfold, like vistas typically reserved for the bridge of a luxury yacht. Completely reimagined and masterfully remodeled, this home exudes refined coastal sophistication, designed to complement rather than compete with its extraordinary natural setting. Inside, walls of impact-rated glass and expansive impact sliders invite the outside in, filling each space with golden light dancing off the water. The interiors are elegant and effortless, stunning 24-inch tile flooring, wood-inlaid ceilings and a seamless flow between living, dining and kitchen areas designed for intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. The chef’s kitchen is a study in modern craftsmanship, featuring rich walnut cabinetry and exquisite Cristallo quartzite countertops, paired with top-tier appliances. Every detail whispers luxury, every glance reveals another breathtaking view. Go outside to an expansive lanai where an outdoor kitchen, sparkling pool and elevated spa overlook the tranquil basin. For boating enthusiasts, the private dock is nothing short of exceptional, complete with dual lifts (26,000 pounds and 16,000 pounds) to accommodate your vessels and your adventures. Ascend to the primary suite, where a cozy gas fireplace, serene seating area and private reading loft await. From here, the views of the bay and basin are nothing less than mesmerizing; a daily reminder of the unparalleled lifestyle this home affords. This is more than a residence, it’s a statement of timeless luxury and rare opportunity. A place where every sunrise and sunset reflects the best of coastal living; private, peaceful and profoundly beautiful.
