Property Description

The harmonious blend of materials and finishes, offered by what is undoubtedly the most luxurious of all those homes for sale in The Retreat, creates a truly entrancing environment. Three magnificent floors feature extraordinary details, refined until absolutely perfect. A gently curved stair leads to the front door where the experience begins. The entry foyer is a unique transitional space, enveloped by tabby stone walls. Venture to the main house or attached carriage house from this point. The carriage house is fully-equipped to serve as a self-contained guest residence with full kitchen, living area, bedroom and bath. Into the main house, striking glass pendants reflect their ambiance off an antique mirrored ceiling into a gracious reception room. A guest suite with private bath is joined by a special bunk room with playful Japanese soaking tub and chic media room on the ground level. A stone terrace with firepit tapers into a grove of Scrub Oak leading to the shore of Draper Lake. A meticulously detailed iron and wood staircase set against a backdrop of floor-to-ceiling herringbone brickwork leads to the upper floors, as does the adjacent residential elevator. The sunny second floor features a modern kitchen, wine room, Florida room and living room with fireplace. Floor and ceiling treatments designate these generous spaces from one another; a deeply coffered wood ceiling in the Florida room, antique mirror inlay ceiling and wood with stone inset floor in the dining room; and a cathedral, scissor-truss ceiling in the living room conveys both grace and grandeur. An additional guest suite with private bath completes this floor. The third floor is a decadent master retreat. Its large sleeping chamber with wood beam ceiling and carved corbel accents features windows that gaze over the entirety of The Retreat to the shimmering Gulf water. A zen bath includes his and hers vanities, impressive dual steam shower and immense chromatherapy tub. A separate study with built-in desk, cabinetry and gorgeous view provides a serene workspace while a loft library with wet bar can be used to pursue more leisurely activities. A delightfully precarious acrylic catwalk dodges through the scissor-trusses over the living room to a covered porch overlooking Draper Lake and the Gulf.
