SEMINOLE BEACH DIRECT OCEANFRONT, Florida

Secluded on 1.4 gated acres in Seminole Landing is an estate of understated elegance and Caribbean inspiration. The 25,878-square-foot residence takes full advantage of its oceanfront location, blurring the lines between indoors and out and allowing for the most pleasurable resortlike lifestyle. The style of British West Indies-with its breezy outdoor spaces and light-filled, view-focused interiors-offered inspiration and was adapted for relaxed, refined modern living. 

The formal living and dining room is subdued and sophisticated, featuring ocean views, a warming fireplace, and disappearing glass walls that allow for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Elegantly styled and outfitted for culinary pursuits, the kitchen includes an island with a hidden television, a coffee bar, refrigerator drawers, a walk-in pantry, counter seating, and a breakfast area with a beach view. The adjoining family room gives way to an alfresco dining area. 

At the center of the soaring stairway, the three-story Swarovski crystal chandelier glimmers in imitation of the ocean. On the upper level, the master suite is a peaceful aerie with his-and-hers baths, three fireplaces, a walk-in closet, and a balcony for enjoying the sights and sounds of the Atlantic. Each of the four uniquely stylish guest bedrooms includes an en suite bath and walk-in closet. A rooftop terrace affords a breathtaking panorama. The lower level offers a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a theater, a fitness center, a catering kitchen, and a four-car garage. 

The grounds offer swaths of lush lawn, a swimming pool with a waterslide and a spa, lounge areas with fire pits, a half basketball court, and a putting green. The estate also encompasses a delightful "Cabana House" and a guesthouse that comprises two, two-bedroom apartments. The community offers proximity to the Seminole Golf Club and numerous other championship courses, completing the consummate Florida lifestyle.
