Description

Enviably located in the heart of Alys Beach, this architectural masterpiece combines elegant sophistication with peace and privacy. Designed by architect Steve Mouzon, it has a central courtyard around which all the other rooms are arranged. It creates an exceptional private sanctuary for the ultimate indoor-outdoor lifestyle. A glass door opens into the eat-in kitchen and spacious open floor plan with cool Dominican stone flooring creating a neutral base. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the gourmet kitchen with high-end Thermador appliances and custom cabinets featuring extraordinary red gum hardwood. One area houses a dedicated coffee station. An expansive island has limestone counters and three stools for cocktails or snacks. The formal dining table easily seats six beneath a vaulted 12-foot ceiling supporting a sparkling chandelier. After dinner, relax in the spacious sitting room, where chairs are grouped for conversation around the fireplace. Multiple windows introduce natural daylight and views of the quiet street outside. Head upstairs to find a landing with an office or reading nook overlooking courtyard views. Two beautiful guest suites have polished pecky cypress flooring, ample closets/dressing rooms, and luxury private bathrooms, each with an earthen stone vanity. The master suite is in an entirely separate wing with its own private access from the courtyard. Beautifully architected, it displays elegant arches, mosaic tile wall features and a two-way gas fireplace warming both the bedroom and bathroom. Stone tiles, pebble insets and twin vanities with vessel sinks reinforce a sense of nature. Lie back in the stunning garden tub and enjoy moments of bubbly bliss in this spa-like haven. French doors open into the courtyard, where a tinkling water spout creates a pleasing backdrop. The outdoor shower is the perfect place to rinse sandy feet after a swim or stroll on the nearby beach. An outdoor kitchen provides everything you need for alfresco dining and lounging on cushioned seats in sunshine or shade. The home has new A/C, fresh exterior paintwork, custom lighting, new furnishings and off-street parking for two vehicles. Beyond this private enclave, a host of activities beckon, including the owners' private beach club and the serene Caliza pool for swimming, lounging and dining. Zuma Wellness Center is fully equipped for a workout and massage. Multiple parks and green spaces provide pleasing areas to ramble or you can hop on your bike and explore the restaurants, shopping and entertainment on offer along Scenic Highway 30A.
