Perched gracefully within the coveted gates of Watersound Beach, this architectural gem redefines casual elegance along the Gulf Coast. Thoughtfully designed by TS Adams and masterfully built by Gulf View Construction, this four-story residence seamlessly blends refined craftsmanship with the laid-back luxury of coastal life. Positioned on a premium lot with unobstructed views of rolling dunes and shimmering Gulf waters, the home invites you in with accordion-style doors that dissolve the boundaries between indoor comfort and outdoor splendor. Multiple open-air terraces and covered decks span every level -- including a fourth-floor tower--creating the perfect backdrop for sunset cocktails, stargazing soirees, or sun-drenched afternoons. At the heart of the home, a gourmet chef's kitchen dazzles with lustrous granite counters, shiplap accents, a Dacor 6-burner gas range, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator  tailored for both culinary ambition and relaxed entertaining. Five uniquely styled bedroom suites are thoughtfully arranged across three floors, each offering proximity to the home's inviting gathering spaces. Every level features its own lounge, wet bar, half bath, laundry, and ice maker  designed with both convenience and comfort in mind.

Step outside into your own private resort. A heated infinity-edge pool anchors the outdoor living area, while a tranquil coastal bed swing invites quiet reflection. Three wood-burning fireplaces  two outdoors and one inside  set the tone for cozy gatherings year-round. Multiple lounging nooks, outdoor televisions, and a screened first-floor porch create versatile spaces for relaxation and entertainment. The lush garden gate opens to a boardwalk that winds through protected dunes, leading to the sugar-white sands of the Gulf. Along the way, enjoy access to the neighborhood's pool and dining amenities, just moments from your door.

Meticulous ownership is evident throughout, with a long list of premium upgrades and thoughtful care. In 2024 alone, the home saw a new composite/metal roof, new shake siding, fresh exterior paint, full exterior waterproofing, and a complete third-floor interior renovation. While the third-floor HVAC system is entirely new, the existing outdoor units were retained  ensuring transparency while showcasing the investment in comfort. In 2023, two tankless water heaters were installed, the exterior fencing was replaced, and the screened porch was added. In 2025, the pool heater motherboard and lithium golf cart batteries were updated to maintain peak performance.

Beyond upgrades, consistent maintenance speaks to a standard of excellence. Monthly pest control has been in place since construction. Doors and windows receive annual care from EF San Juan. Appliances have been proactively serviced by Mr. Appliance since 2020, and the elevator is professionally inspected by Panhandle Elevator each year. A fully integrated Control4 smart home system, installed and maintained by WattSound, offers modern convenience with intuitive control.

Wrapped in a classic Nantucket-style exterior with mildew-resistant paint, stone pavers, and low-maintenance native landscaping, this home was built for enduring beauty and ease. The elevator services all three floors, ensuring accessibility for every generation. Never rented and impeccably maintained, this coastal retreat is more than a home  it's a legacy, ready to host cherished memories and timeless moments along Florida's Emerald Coast.

Designed by renowned architect Geoff Chick, this spectacular beachside retreat is located behind the gates of the exclusive WaterSound Beach community. This custom home is immaculate, no surface was left untouched. The impressive great room sets the tone for this sophisticated beach home. The soaring vaulted ceilings and custom beams add to the great sensation when entering. The oversized kitchen island is perfect for preparing meals and hosting friends, and the Soho Studio tile backsplash adds the perfect pop of color to this entertainer's dream of a space. The living space is accented by custom-ordered furnishings courtesy of Restoration Hardware, Bungalow 5 and Modern History. The custom drapes, pillows and cushions are all creations by Thibaut designs. The lights, sounds and temperature in this impressive room (as with the rest of the home) are all controlled via your phone or the installed iPad operating the Control4 system. The oversized pantry and washroom are just off the great room, along with a half bathroom designed to add flair to the home. The primary suite on the main living level is an inviting retreat with private access to the screened outdoor living area. The bathroom boasts a soaking tub and multi-jet shower with rain head above. Thibaut wallpaper adds a custom touch to this room, and the dual walk-in closets complete the suite. This level also showcases the climate-controlled wine cellar, complete with reclaimed wood racks that can hold more than enough wine for all guests. Just outside the wine room is the oversized screened porch. This entertaining outdoor area has a vast custom wood dining table, beverage drawers, a built-in Wolf grill and hood, and an oversized TV. On the other side of the porch is the fully independent carriage house. This suite has a kitchenette, a built-in dining area and a separate living area. Elevated ceilings and ample windows add a "wow" factor to these living quarters. The Kelly Hoppen canopy bed will tempt you never to leave this room. The first level boasts a grand entry hall with custom inlaid marble tiling and an overhead chandelier created by Arterriors. Dual guest suites on this level both have ensuite bathrooms. Both bedrooms are highlighted by John Robshaw bedding, Matouk and Thibuat pillows and drapes and art by renowned local photographer Modus Photography. Rugs by Dash & Albert cover the floors, and new quartz vanities and Waterworks plumbing round out these beautiful guest suites. Just down the hall is an additional bedroom doubling as an in-home office space with an attached full bathroom, equally appointed as the other guest suites. This level is completed by a bonus entertaining room that works for additional sleeping accommodations. Pull out the sleeper sofa and pull down the retractable viewing screen to create the perfect movie-watching spot. The linens, pillows, rug and artwork are all on par with what you would expect in a home of this caliber. Outside the theater room, you find the first-level outdoor living area featuring an outdoor fireplace, sitting area and spa. The large spa with spillover edge and waterfall feature impress upon approaching the home. Climb the stairs or take the elevator to the third level. You find a sitting area separated from the bunk room by a vast custom barn door. Built-in bunks provide additional sleeping for family and friends, and a full bathroom completes this level. There is one more set of stairs to climb to the enclosed watchtower. Here, you find lounge-level seating plus a bar top and stools looking through the windows and out at the Gulf of Mexico. When it is time to go to the beach, hop on your private golf cart (included in the sale) and drive right down the beach. The large "Dunesider" pool is just steps away (less than 150)
