This concrete block-construction Gulf-front home in The Retreat designed by Tom Christ with interiors designed by Susan Massey was completed in 2005. Its five true bedrooms feature their own private baths and access to the outdoors. Inside the arched mahogany hardwood front door on the ground floor is a well-equipped laundry room and two spacious guest suites. Diagonally-laid 16-inch travertine tile flooring carries throughout the entire ground floor. The east guest suite features an alcove with built-in drawers and display shelves and a bath with granite vanity top, shower with built-in seat and travertine tile surround, as well as access to the rear covered porch. The west guest suite with gas fireplace accented by a cast stone mantle is currently appointed to serve as a den with sofa, arm chairs and decorative display unit. French doors lead to the rear covered porch and its bath is appointed similarly to the one found in the east guest suite. The laundry room features front-loading GE Monogram washer and dryer units stowed below a granite counter flanked by storage cabinets on each side and overhead, complemented by an additional counter and storage cabinets on the opposite side of the room. The laundry room features an entrance from the side of the home with adjacent outdoor shower that offers both hot and cold water service. The ground floor offers ample storage ideal for full-time residency with a coat closet, utility storage closet and large walk-in storage closet beneath the stairs. The residential elevator with service to all three floors of the home offers a convenient alternative to the wide staircase with rough-hewn pine hardwood treads that carry into matching flooring found throughout the second and third floors. The second floor is home to the principle living areas which are oriented towards the Gulf. The kitchen island features a bar with seating for at least six as well as a Viking Professional 4-burner gas range with griddle and GE Monogram beverage cooler. They are joined by a Viking Professional dual thermal convection double oven, refrigerator/freezer and 2 Fisher & Paykel dish drawers. Granite counters complement the two-tone custom hardwood cabinets. The stylish Gulf-front dining room with wrap-around windows and access to the screened Gulf-front porch comfortably hosts dinner for you and 7 guests. The wood beam and paneled ceiling in the living room creates a cozy atmosphere enhanced by the attractive gas fireplace and nearby wet bar with granite counter, sink and U-line icemaker. French doors on its Gulf-facing side lead to the screened porch while French doors on its street side lead to a covered balcony that overlooks the front courtyard. Each of the two mirror-image guest suites found on this floor features its own private bath with unique decorative ceramic tile flooring and tub/shower surrounds, as well as access to a covered porch on the front of the home. The third floor is comprised entirely of the master suite. Just inside its French door entry are his and her walk-in closets, with hers being slightly larger! Both are outfit with built-in drawers, shelves and hanging rods. The window-lined Gulf-front bedroom is spacious enough to accommodate a sitting area and even includes its own morning kitchen with granite counter, sink and GE Monogram beverage cooler. French doors lead to a sun deck that is also accessible from the immensely spacious master bath. His and her vanities provide ample counter space and practical storage while the bubble therapy soaking tub is situated to take advantage of the Gulf views as well as the gas fireplace. The walk-in shower provides plenty of room to move around as well as an extra-long built-in seat. A private water closet includes a bidet. The bath also provides access to a modest home office with private entrance from the third-floor landing. A walk-in attic storage closet provides more storage.
