This stately coastal estate is “perfectly positioned on a pristine stretch of shoreline overlooking Johnson’s Beach. This extraordinary residence offers the ultimate blend of privacy, comfort, and breathtaking views—complete with its own sandy white beach and gunite pool,” says Realtor Karen Krasnosky.
The home boasts over 6,600 square feet of living space, five bedrooms, six baths (five full, one half), a home office, a spacious living room, a chef’s kitchen, a lovely formal dining room, a game room, a family room, and a private, outdoor retreat.
Arriving at the property, you’ll be wowed by the grand facade. A circular and side driveway offers ample space for visitor parking, while homeowners will appreciate the side-entry garage.
A welcoming foyer greets you upon entry, with a grand staircase to the second floor, a direct path to the waterfront living area, and a formal dining room oriented at the front of the home, overlooking the lush landscaping.
Culinary enthusiasts will adore the kitchen, which is connected to the dining area through a butler’s pantry. It features high-end appliances, abundant cabinet storage, expansive counter space, and an island with bar seating. The kitchen overlooks the bay, with an adjoining casual dining space and a relaxing sitting area for conversation with guests while preparing delicious feasts.
Additionally, a private home office is excellent for finishing tasks or full-time work-from-home needs.
The main living area is perfect for entertaining. It includes a window to the kitchen, an elegant fireplace, and direct access to the outdoor retreat.
The first-floor primary suite offers privacy and respite for homeowners. The space includes a large bedroom with access to the bayfront patio and pool deck and an en-suite bath. The spa-like bath features two vanities, a jetted deep soaking tub, and a walk-in shower.
On the second story, you’ll find a large living area with balcony access and a water view, additional bedrooms, and an entertaining space.
The large game room/lounge area includes a wet bar, ample space for movie nights, and an area for a pool table and/or exercise equipment overlooking the waterfront. This room also opens to the waterfront balcony.
The home’s additional bedrooms offer privacy for live-in family and guests.
The backyard offers the Florida lifestyle year-round. “The expansive covered outdoor area creates your own personal retreat with a private pool just steps from the water’s edge.
Enjoy sunrise strolls on your own beach, sunset views over the bay, and quick access to the natural beauty of Johnson’s Beach and the Gulf Islands National Seashore—just minutes from your back door. This rare waterfront gem combines luxury living with laid-back coastal charm,” affirms Krasnosky.
