Property Description
Resting delicately on a wooded, lake-front site within the super-exclusive, gated neighborhood of Little Redfish Lane, this contemporary, Mediterranean-style villa commands truly unique and captivating views over white sand dunes to the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
The front door is a grand piece of reclamation, beautifully scaled to the magnificent breadth of space it yields to. The entry is bisected by a corridor whose curved walls vanish toward each wing of the home. The unencumbered space communicates calm and serenity through graceful lines and generous volume. A deep formal dining room with ten foot ceilings comfortably hosts twelve and leads directly to a sunken formal living room whose ceiling expands to twelve feet. The visually balanced space centers on a monolithic fireplace flanked by French doors. An intriguing screen of artfully sculpted Oaks reveals views of Little Redfish Lake through their winding trunks.
The east wing is home to a sleek kitchen with modern, blonde wood cabinetry, black granite countertops with matching black tile backsplash and gourmet, stainless steel appliances. A center island with butcher block countertop faces an informal dining area overlooking the back lawn. Also off the kitchen is a relaxed, sun-filled den. In the west wing are three guest bedrooms. One features a private, en-suite bath while another has direct access to a guest bath as well as the shaded gardens in the rear of the home. Stained and scored concrete floors carry throughout the principle living spaces on the ground floor.
A private master suite resides on the second floor. A fireplace on the south-facing wall divides the generously sized bedroom into sleeping and sitting areas. French doors again lead outside to a covered porch overlooking a canopy of Oak, Little Redfish Lake, mountainous dunes and the Gulf of Mexico which combine to create an enthralling visual experience. An office, bath with double vanity, tub and walk-in shower, as well as an impressive two-tier closet with copious built-in racks and shelving complete the suite.
The grounds are magnificent. Beautifully manicured creeping vines ornament porch posts and enhance the stateliness of the home. Refined Scrub Oak provides shade and privacy. Launch kayaks from a private dock on Little Redfish Lake and paddle towards deeded beach access on the opposite shore.
