This elegant Rosemary Beach home enjoys panoramic 180-degree views of the gulf enhanced by elevated wrap-around porches, a prominent cupola, and second floor living. The home is ideally positioned one back from the gulf, steps from the sandy beach, on a large lot with 60-foot view corridors. Enter the home through the brick-paved courtyard, passing the private heated pool and lounging area before entering a magnificent foyer with marble flooring. The home's garden level first floor has three en suite bedrooms (two junior suites), bunk room and laundry room. The three garden level bedrooms have porch access for enjoying early morning coffee in the privacy of your own space surrounded by lush vegetation. The second-floor main living area delivers sweeping gulf views through full-height windows with 12-foot ceilings. The second floor creates a seamless flow for entertaining from sitting and dining areas to the upscale chef's kitchen with sub-zero refrigerator, ice machine and beverage refrigerator. Head out to the full-length balcony with dual fireplace and enjoy people-watching in all seasons. The second level master suite is spacious and includes a sunroom with direct gulf views and porch access. The third floor boasts a media room for watching favorite movies or sports with family and friends. Everyone gets a grandstand seat here. A short staircase leads up to the tower and cupola with 360-degree views of the Rosemary rooftops and shimmering Gulf of Mexico. Guests have their own independent home comforts in the carriage house, perched above the garage and adjacent to the courtyard. As well as the sleeping area and bathroom, it includes a dining kitchen and sitting area with a washer and dryer. Built by Ficarra Builders, this masonry home includes unique quality details such as high ceilings, transom windows, planked walls and ceilings, double chimneys, and Chicago brick porch pavers. A standing seam copper roof was added last year. The Rosemary Beach community has the very best entertainment, shopping and dining with a dozen restaurants ranging from casual to gourmet cuisine. Five pools, including an owner's pool and pavilion, along with tennis and fitness centers provide an array of activities within walking distance.
