A private oasis nestled at the coveted Point of Rocks in Siesta Key, this rare Gulf-front paradise is the epitome of coastal elegance and masterful design, with TWO distinctive residences that capitalize on the breathtaking sunsets, sparkling Gulf waters and views of the world-famous Crescent & Siesta Beach. This truly, unique retreat, features a timeless reflection of Old Florida, in the completely updated historic beachfront Palmer-Honore cottage and a magnificent newly built main residence, both by Murray Homes, offering a sophisticated blend of historic charm and modern luxury. A grand and gated estate, the fenced perimeter and state-of-the-art alarm system, along with Smart Home automation, affords privacy and peace of mind. The unparalleled location offers luxurious coastal living, with lush, tropical landscaping and inviting outdoor spaces that extend the living areas. A secluded saltwater pool separates the two residences and delights the senses with 3 fountains, a stunning waterfall, dramatic fiber optic lighting, and natural gas tiki torches. The custom main residence, built to the highest hurricane building codes (2019), was designed to complement the historic specifications of the cottage, with a steep-pitched metal roof, A+ Rated staggered Hardie Board shingle shake siding and a soothing color palette. Attention to detail and expert craftsmanship is evident from the moment you step inside, from the custom ergonomic staircase to the vaulted tongue-and-groove wood paneled ceilings, French Oak flooring, and the magnificently appointed finishes throughout. The first level is dedicated to efficiency with access to the foyer from the oversized 3+ car garage – with epoxy flooring, cabinetry, and A/C – allowing you to go immediately upstairs or be whisked to the second floor via the elevator. Through the foyer is access to the covered patio and pool. Upstairs, the open concept living, dining room, and kitchen take advantage of the indoor-outdoor lifestyle & gorgeous azure Gulf vistas expanding the spaces onto the porch, boasting electric roll-down screens & shades, as well as a summer kitchen with gas grill and staircase that leads to the pool. Appealing to the aspiring chef, the kitchen is a work of art brilliantly designed with top-of-the-line finishes including Wolf cooking appliances, Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Marvel wine cooler, built-in Miele coffee maker, Bosch dishwasher, a 4’ sink by “The Galley,” Mother of Pearl backsplash, Quartzite “Taj Mahal” countertops, & a gracious island. The master wing is an invitation to relax in style and includes a breathtaking master bath with ocean-like marble countertops, a TV, walk-in shower, and separate his & hers custom closets. Not to be outdone, the Historic 102-year-old Gulf-front cottage is situated just feet from the rocky bluff that gives Point of Rocks its name. Demanding painstaking attention to detail, maintaining the integrity of the structure as well as its exterior look in accordance with historic designated requirements. The interior has been completely remodeled down to the studs, with new plumbing, electric, kitchen, baths, and a 12-foot glass NanaWall with a retractable screen that opens to the sun deck, allowing unobstructed panoramic Gulf views and tropical breezes to spill inside. A staircase leads you to some of the best shelling & snorkeling on Siesta Key and the inviting sandy beach, is a rare find. Your sun-drenched haven on the Gulf, this property is incomparable.
