301 WESTERN LAKE DR, SANTA ROSA BEACH, FL 32459 (MLS # 602537)

Coastal sensibilities intersect effortlessly with classical proportions and sophisticated modern lines in this elegant home overlooking Western Lake in WaterColor. A true artist collaboration among the talented Bates & Corkern Architects and designer Liz Hand Woods of Birmingham, this three-story home fosters an ongoing relationship with nature and outdoor living. Making the most of first impressions, a sheltering front porch presents a traditional welcome to the street, while a contemporary take on a sliding barn door beckons visitors into a generous breezeway and a private courtyard with a pool and outdoor showers tucked within a lush natural landscape along the lake. Interiors offer equally engaging gestures befitting the waterfront setting. A generous family room animated with facing alcoves and a fireplace anchors the first floor. Custom designed glass doors above the mantel screen a television. Peacock Pavers offer durable and attractive flooring. Barrel vaulted hallways lead to a pair of guest suites each with twin beds and refined bathrooms. Like many of its neighbors, the main floor is hoisted up to augment the views, capture the breeze, and afford privacy. A glass-encased stairway rises three stories, flooding interior spaces with diffused light and enticing visitors to venture upward. The living and dining rooms have an airy spaciousness and openness, and even in these most formal rooms the mood is relaxed and comfortable, fulfilling the demands and desires of a vacation house with memorable scale and friendly intimacy. A mix of warm woods for the floors, walls, beams, and detailing enhances the layering of the architecture. Furnishing and finishes are neutral with muted tones echoing the colors of the sand, sea oats, and Gulf. Subtle details rather than walls express the spaces Distinctive ceilings rise 12 feet high with cypress beams defining the living room and a gentle arch animating the kitchen. The dining room features an ornate circular pattern on the ceiling that echoes the large round antique table. The architects incorporated leather-upholstered floating consoles along opposite window walls for contemporary touches. A rectangular island with buff-colored limestone countertop accommodates seating, storage, and ample work surfaces in the gourmet kitchen outfitted with Gaggenau and Sub-Zero appliances. Custom-designed doors crafted of reclaimed wood and glass hide two large pantries. A shuttered porch off the kitchen is perfect for al fresco dining. A sleeping porch is perched along the back of the home for more privacy. French doors off the living area open into a sophisticated master retreat defined with an etched-glass wall that separates the sleeping area from a luxurious spa bath. A contemporary dressing vanity anchors a sunny alcove with adjoining master closets. The third floor features a guest suite and open terrace with panoramic views over the lake and Gulf beyond. Throughout, interior finishes and architectural details reflect a refined use of colors and textures, and the craftsmanship and rich materials truly express the house as handmade object designed and built for generations to come.
