What's special

The gulf to the south, the sunset to the west. This gated Dune Allen residence was taken to the studs and rebuilt in full, with a renovation exceeding $3 million completed in 2020. Looking out across open water and down the full length of the beach, the home captures a dual exposure that is uncommon along this coast and one that will not change. Every aspect of the home was designed to keep the water in view, with large windows along the western wall carrying the eye toward the west end of the sand, where the sun completes its descent each evening. Inside, the home opens the way a gulf-front residence should, with the main living spaces flowing into one another and out to the water without interruption. Motorized shades run throughout, drawn or lifted at a touch as the day turns, part of an integrated smart home and security system that quietly manages the house in the background. The home absorbs a crowd without strain, the main level running easily from kitchen to gathering room to pool deck while the five ensuite bedrooms are positioned for privacy and for the view, four of them looking out toward the gulf. The first of two primary suites occupies the upper floor, a floor of its own with a sitting room, a generous walk-in closet, exposures to the south and west, and a bath with a steam shower, soaking tub, and double vanity. Just off it, the office is a room of its own, taking the same view down the beach. The second primary sits on the main level and opens onto the pool deck, allowing the home to live entirely on one floor. Above the garage, the fifth bedroom forms a private guest suite with its own wing, a full bath with a zero-entry shower, and a private west-facing porch. At the center of the main floor is a kitchen conceived for use rather than display, where a Thermador range and Sub-Zero refrigeration meet Super Calacatta marble across an island generous enough for gathering, with a built-in breakfast banquette and a EuroCave wine cellar integrated into the surrounding cabinetry. Below, a conditioned garage space expands the home's living areas, while the driveway beyond it offers deep parking behind the gate. Outdoors, more than 2,700 square feet of covered and open living wraps the eastern, southern, and western elevations, composed as a series of distinct rooms in the open air. A heated saltwater pool anchors the composition, a natural gas fire pit faces the gulf, and the beachside deck leads to a private beach path, with an outdoor shower at its foot and storage for a small sailboat, paddleboards, and beach chairs. The renovation brought impact- and storm-rated windows and doors throughout, new exterior decking, and six-foot privacy walls enclosing three sides of the property. Major systems have been upgraded in the years since, including a new roof in 2025. Rare on this coast, and rarer still in this condition, it is a gulf-front residence with nothing left to do but live in it.
