About this home

The inspiring contemporary residence was meticulously designed and crafted by noted architect, Tom Ochsner, four years ago with the goal of creating a sophisticated yet casual resort-style retreat. The interior spaces can best be described as modern elegance with an emphasis on showcasing sublime ocean views while creating an ideal indoor/outdoor lifestyle that this area is known for. The light-filled public rooms feature soaring ceilings, designer finishes, wide-plank white oak flooring and a gourmet kitchen/great room all providing seamless access to an irresistible view terrace. The home offers four private bedroom suites highlighted by a romantic master retreat complete with a fireplace, ocean view terrace, and spa-like bathroom. Additional enticing spaces include a media room, a gallery office and/or hang-out space with fabulous views through cascading windows, and a fun game room with a half-bath and stunning wine showcase behind glass doors. The private half-acre of grounds features towering palm trees, meandering paths, and exotic plantings providing the ambiance of a tropical resort. The final element of this enchanting property is the expansive oceanfront deck featuring a bubbling jacuzzi, lounge chairs and al-fresco dining table perfect for relaxing and taking in inspiring sunsets at day's end. Finally, a secret hideaway below the deck offers an incredible ocean view retreat unlike anything you have ever seen.
