What's special

Welcome to 688 Ocean Palm Way, an extraordinary oceanfront retreat in the exclusive gated community of Sea Colony, offered beautifully furnished and thoughtfully designed by the renowned architectural team of Cronk Duch. Celebrated throughout Northeast Florida and the Caribbean for their distinctive coastal residences, Cronk and Duch are known for creating homes that blur the boundaries between indoors and out, capturing natural light, ocean vistas, and the effortless rhythm of seaside living. Perfectly positioned along the Atlantic Ocean, this contemporary Bermuda-inspired residence represents a rare opportunity to own one of Sea Colony's most architecturally significant homes. Walls of glass, expansive porches, private balconies, and inviting outdoor living spaces embrace the surrounding landscape, while a resort-style pool and spa and a stunning courtyard with an outdoor fireplace create memorable settings for both entertaining and quiet relaxation. Thoughtfully enhanced over the years, the home pairs enduring architecture with modern peace of mind, including PGT impact-rated windows and doors, a new roof, updated HVAC systems, new pool equipment, two tankless water heaters, filtered water system, and premium Ipe decking. Inside, every space has been curated with intention. warm toned oak flooring, custom lighting, and beautifully selected furnishings draw inspiration from the surrounding landscape, echoing the soft blues of the Atlantic, the warm tones of the dunes, and the lush greens of the native coastal vegetation. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is both functional and stunning—a gathering place designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining. Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, custom inset cabinetry, handcrafted zellige tile, and a dramatic waterfall island combine timeless craftsmanship with contemporary sophistication. Throughout the residence, a series of thoughtfully designed spaces unfold, each offering its own connection to the coastal setting. A pecky cypress-clad study provides a warm and inviting retreat, while the oceanfront primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, complete with a spa-inspired bath and access to sweeping Atlantic views. Beautifully appointed guest suites offer comfort and privacy, while an inviting loft-style family room opens to an expansive oceanfront porch where sea breezes and endless horizons become part of daily life. Above, a third-floor fitness retreat captures panoramic views from a unique perch above the coastline. Across the private courtyard, a spacious studio apartment above the garage offers exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, or a creative retreat of its own, complete with a kitchenette and multiple balconies. Life in Sea Colony is equally extraordinary. Behind the gates of one of Northeast Florida's most coveted oceanfront communities, residents enjoy 24-hour guarded security, four private beach walkovers, a community clubhouse and pool, and a lifestyle defined by natural beauty, privacy, and direct access to the Atlantic Ocean.
