SUBLIME....tending to inspire awe because of elevated quality or transcendent excellence....describes the experience of entering this West Water Street residence located a stones throw from the GULF OF MEXICO. Meticulous attention to details by JONATHON HAMPEL and DARRELL RUSSELL of A BOHEME design is readily apparent. The juxtaposition of materials achieves the effect of delighting the senses. Velvety smooth VENETIAN PLASTER walls and ceilings are accented by rustic PECKY CYPRESS columns and beams where delicate pendants of ITALIAN SPUN GLASS are suspended. Exquisite CRYSTAL CHANDELIERS dangle from a bead board ceiling in the entry. The raw, ungrouted floors of Roman PATTERNED TRAVERTINE SLABS are met by sleek woven stainless steel backsplash in the kitchen. And what an amazing kitchen it is...ebonized custom contemporary cabinetry, VIKING APPLIANCES, counter tops of cool CALCUTTA MARBLE and woven stainless join to enhance the JOY of cooking. Even the laundry located adjacent shares the beautiful finishes. The living/dining/kitchen area is HUGE (42'x22') and has a dual RUMFORD fireplace that creates a cozy sitting area. When you are ready to ascend the stairs (rather than taking the ELEVATOR), notice the fine craftsmanship of the forged-on-sight iron banister with brass handrail. Both the staircase and flooring of the upper levels are of smoothly SCRAPED OAK. The Venetian plaster walls continue through the second story landing and living area replete with MEDIA CABINET and SUBZERO BEVERAGE/FREEZER DRAWERS. There are two guest bedrooms and a MASTER BEDROOM each with a private, beautifully appointed MARBLE BATH. As you enter these rooms take note of the splendid LINEN FOLDED BURMESE TEAK DOORS that were hand carved and custom made in India. The fourth bedroom on this level is a two bed bunk room, each bed with it's own television. As a special treat, every room on this floor opens to a balcony. The third floor MASTER SUITE rivals that which could be found in the finest hotel. An intimate SITTING AREA, bedroom with a GULF VIEW and sumptuous bath with SOAKING TUB are a few of the wonderful surprises here. There is even a small office space for work that must get done. In addition to this magnificent FIVE BEDROOM MAIN HOUSE, there is a truly wonderful one bedroom carriage house designed by Bobby McAlpine. This cozy yet generously livable space has a LIVING/DINING ROOM,FULL KITCHEN,LARGE BATH AND LOFT BEDROOM. The clever design of the loft is reminiscent of an exterior balcony complete with exposed rafter tails and the oversized industrial pendant lights add a whimsical touch. Both the main and carriage houses share a FABULOUS COURTYARD that functions as an outdoor LIVING AREA COMPLETE WITH KITCHEN, RUMFORD FIREPLACE AND HEATED POOL. All beautiful furnishings have been selected specifically for this home and convey, with the exception of select artwork. Please call for an appointment to schedule an exclusive opportunity to treat your senses to the SUBLIME experience this exquisite property has for you.
