1203 Soundview Trl Gulf Breeze FL 32561 MLS #684402

This elegant waterfront French Country home provides a panoramic view of Pensacola Sound and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. From the courtyard and stacked stone/stucco facade to the end of the boat house and dock with boatlift, you will appreciate the construction and attention to detail. Dramatic travertine floors inlaid with a walnut accent extend into the hallway and kitchen. The 2 story vaulted living room ceiling and beams provide visual interest and large natural wood beams accent the ceilings in the entry, living room, dining area and primary suite. The view of the Sound is enhanced by the windows, French doors and balconies facing south. Both the living and dining rooms enjoy the fireplace with custom stone surround, wall sconces, and custom cabinetry. The master bedroom with a 20′ ceiling overlooks the water. The spacious master bath features a double vanity area, designer fixtures, built-in cabinetry, a spacious shower and a freestanding tub. The separate “his and her” closets are walk-in, one has a cedar closet and attic access for additional storage. The kitchen shows chef’s level high end appliances and a large kitchen island provides abundant work space and bar style seating. The wet bar and ice maker add to easy entertaining. A small office space is perfect for a computer work station. Note the dramatic beauty of the library/office with 8′ double entry doors from New Orleans and a dramatic coffered ceiling. The large laundry houses a second refrigerator. The elevator or the stairway lead upstairs to the bedrooms have walk-in closets and full baths. A private sitting area overlooks the living room, and could be converted into a 4th bedroom. The Geothermal A/C units, ICF construction and Icynene insulation keep this space (and the entire house) cool and quiet. Enjoy the huge 4 car garage! Fifty-four concrete pilings add stability and safety to the home.
