Take in Sparkling Views From This $18.9M Gulf-Front Estate in Inlet Beach
A myriad of thoughtful design details and creatures comforts permeate the home including beachfront access, a pool, spa, elevator, and pet-friendly features.
Just steps from the crystalline waters of the Gulf of Mexico, this residence—perched above the dunes—demonstrates perfect harmony between modern elegance and old-world charm. Every aspect of the home, created by Geoff Chick, strikes notes that reflect its picturesque surroundings, from its sturdy all-concrete construction to cedar shake siding that dovetails with nature.
Beyond the gate, the well-trained eye will notice the decommissioned brick paver drive imported from the streets of Charleston, South Carolina, leading to a two-car garage and a commanding second-floor entryway. As you step inside, prepare to discover a plethora of thoughtful features that elevate the living experience.
Open-concept living, dining, and cooking spaces are accented by sparkling gulf views. Reharvested ceiling beams sourced from Ohio in this space showcase sustainable elegance and shell stone flooring adds a timeless charm. A custom dining table and chandelier set the stage for exquisite culinary experiences.
The kitchen, with solid Taj Mahal quartzite counters and shelving, is equipped with premium Sub-Zero appliances, a Viking range, and a metal island with integrated sink and bar seating. Custom Waterworks fixtures add a touch of opulence, while unskinned plaster walls, custom lighting, and modern flat-front cabinetry exemplify attention to detail.
Two bedrooms on this floor represent the thematic interior styling of Nashville’s Chad James Group, with noteworthy elements like automatic blinds, tailor-made rugs, and custom grasscloth wallpaper. En suite baths offer custom, paneled linen closets, hand-painted Mackenzie-Childs accents, and matte quartzite countertops.
Writing desks and computer nooks are peppered throughout the home to offer serene hideaways for productivity. Multiple areas are also fitted for a family’s furry companions, from the dedicated dog room with Dutch door to the hidden dog gate in the stair post, to a dog-washing station complete with a quartz sink. Even the gulf-front pool was created with pup-friendly features in mind, such as a shallow shelf for relaxing in the sun.
A spa with waterfall feature gives the entire family a place to unwind, near a screened porch with outdoor kitchen. The second floor is home to a standalone suite over the garage, reminiscent of a charming carriage house, with a full en suite bath, storage or sitting area, and bunk beds.
A second gulf-front living area with tile ceiling creates a space for relaxation and entertainment. Two gulf-front bedrooms offer breathtaking views along with walk-in closets, private baths, and serene porches. The primary suite is a sanctuary of refined elegance with plaster walls, silk, stitched wallpaper, a vaulted ceiling, and a private gulf-front balcony. The primary bath holds a marble bathtub, separate shower, dual marble vanities, Waterworks fixtures, and suspended mirrors.
The amenities continue with a tankless hot water system, multiple laundry areas, a private elevator, whole-home automation from Control4, whole-home audio, and more than 2,000 square feet of climate-controlled storage including space for beach gear just steps from the private Trex boardwalk to the pristine beach below.
