The outdoor amenities continue in the private courtyard. The newly constructed pool is one of the largest in the community, featuring a tanning ledge and long-lasting IPE planking deck surround. The covered barbecue area includes a flat screen television and Big Green Egg smoker atop black soapstone counters. A cypress front foyer leads to a first-floor seating area flanked by yacht-inspired bunks of navy, brass, and creams. It's the perfect pool house feel with NanaWall access to the courtyard beyond. This flexible space can act as a standalone room or share a jack-n-jill bathroom with one of three guest suites on the same floor. Ascending to the second floor, the vista of Camp Creek Lake and the Gulf come into clear focus. Soaring Cypress cathedral ceilings are anchored by the dining room fireplace. The residence's fully custom kitchen design features a one-of-a-kind brass strapping hood vent adorning the six-burner range, a reclaimed antique kitchen island for dish storage, and a stunning custom waterfall peninsula for casual dining. Through the living room's NanaWall, the partially covered balcony beckons for outdoor dining and relaxation. Start and end your day by delighting in the extraordinary sunrises and sunsets from the second-floor primary suite with a cathedral ceiling and custom designed bathroom. Continuing higher, a third-floor loft study overlooks the living and dining rooms below.
