Surrounded on three sides by State parklands, Gulf Trace is one of the most unique neighborhoods along 30A, bordered on the east by a rare coastal dune lake, on the south by the Gulf of Mexico, and to the west and north by Grayton Beach State Recreation Area and Park. The neighborhood has two deeded private beach accesses to enjoy as a homeowner and 86 lots of which 11 are still vacant. From the moment you enter the gate to the serene, beautifully-designed pool area, this comfortable, warm cottage captures your heart! Designed by reknowned architect, Matt Savoie, and built by David White. An extraordinary deck overlooking the pool and huge screened room greet you as you move past the well-tended large flowering pots. The homeowner is a horticulturist, and it shows! The southern exposure of the porch, pool & deck draws lots of sun through the French doors of the cottage into the heart of the home: a beautiful open living space with dining on the left and living to the right and kitchen in the background. The large room is awash in sunlight with the many transomed-windows and a very French Country charm. Blonde hardwood floors lead you into a kitchen with tumbled travertine floors and backsplash and many solid maple cabinets by KitchenCraft, a Chef's dream! The kitchen bar boasts a triple sink as well as a separate bar sink on another wall. On the third wall of the kitchen is a gas Thermador Professional stovetop and a built-in Thermador microwave & convection oven. There is also an icemaker for those trips to the beach! Just off the kitchen is a large laundry room with porcelain tile flooring, lots of windows and counters, and Fisher & Paykel washer/dryer. Tucked away off to the side of the large living space is a cozy den that was originally designed as the Master bedroom. The door framing was removed but could easily be converted back to the Master. A large Master bath is off the den with tumbled-travertine floors & walls including a whirlpool tub and a separate shower and separate pedestal sinks & mirrors. The entire first floor has dentil molding adding to the charm. Down a short hall, behind the staircase is a small office with en suite bath that can also function as a bedroom. As you head up the stairs, there is a very large landing that is used as another office space and upstairs living, perfect for children and their gaming! Off of that living space are three bedrooms, all en suite, including another Master. One of the bathrooms also serves the hallway. Upstairs at the end of the hallway is a huge covered open balcony facing south for enjoying the seabreeze and watching the Gulf! In the back of the house is plenty of parking including four covered spaces and a heated/cooled large storeroom/workshop! The workbench does not convey. And a whole-house Generac diesel-powered generator keeps you comfortable even during storms! This house is on public water/sewer with Regional Utilities, and has its own well for irrigation!
