A classically inspired design by Tom Christ, this impeccable Bay-front estate in the exclusive Waterford neighborhood of Kelly Plantation borrows period details from vintage Palm Beach architecture to infuse its modern spaces with timeless refinement. Constructed of premium materials, its style is not the only thing sure to withstand the test of time. This all concrete block-constructed home was built 12 feet above sea level and was completed in May 2005. Its exterior features pre-cast limestone accents, copper gutters, hurricane windows and Mahogany wood-paneled ceilings on all porches. The property is fortified by a seawall which runs along its 271-feet of Bay frontage. A private dock features two boat lifts and two Jet Ski lifts to allow for immediate enjoyment of the Choctawhatchee Bay. Ride your Jet Skis onto a sandy beach area and quickly dismount to enjoy lunch on the generous back patio and sheltered outdoor grilling and dining area with Wolf grill, outdoor TV, fireplace and U-line icemaker. Adjoining the outdoor grilling area, the guest house features an outstanding living area with kitchenette, bedroom and full bath with views to the Bay. An infinity-edge pool with electric cover completes the outdoor space. Inside the main house a grand, two-story foyer with coffered ceiling leads to an equally stunning formal living room with fireplace flanked by custom built-ins and views overlooking the pool towards the expansive green lawn and Bay. A handsome study features all-Mahogany wood paneled walls and built-in bookcases.
