Waterfront living reaches new heights at this Soundside East retreat, offering 97 feet of Intracoastal Waterway frontage designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. This custom-built home showcases panoramic bay views from every room and features a multi-level layout ideal for everyday comfort and elegant entertaining. The main level includes a den, formal dining, and a flexible room for a studio or office—all connected to a chef’s kitchen with Silestone Quartz countertops, double ovens, custom floating cabinetry, and generous prep space. Upstairs, the primary suite features vaulted ceilings, oversized closets, and a wall of windows framing water views. Additional bedrooms offer privacy and comfort for family or guests. The expansive 2,245 square foot garage accommodates up to eight vehicles and two golf carts, with room for kayaks, paddleboards, and a workshop. Eight insulated, wind-loaded garage doors and elevated breaker panels reflect the home’s smart engineering. Built for longevity and storm resilience, this elevated home has no living area at ground level and carries a grandfathered, assumable flood policy. Additional construction features include a 50-year synthetic slate roof with stainless fasteners, copper flashing, storm shutters, new AZEK and TREX decking, and AQUA-DEK flow-through flooring off the primary suite. Other highlights include an elevator, direct-vent fireplace, natural gas appliances, two 2024-installed water heaters, and whole-home systems like central vacuum, intercom, intelligent thermostats, and REME-HALO air purifiers. A rock seawall, aluminum dock grating, and a well-equipped irrigation system complete the exterior. Facing south across the Intracoastal Waterway and directly across from the protected National Seashore, this home offers rare, forever-protected views. Located minutes from top schools, shopping, dining, and the white sands of Pensacola Beach, this Soundside East home blends luxury, efficiency, and coastal living.
