This coastal contemporary home is more than just charming on the outside. It really sets the tone for relaxed, gracious living across two thoughtfully designed levels.
Covering 8,204 square feet, the house features light yellow siding, crisp white trim, a metal roof, and is surrounded by palms that add to the breezy coastal feel.
The design is symmetrical, from the broad front porch to the easy flow between spaces.
Inside, you’ll notice private retreats mixed with open, bright gathering areas, and both levels offer delightful surprises.

The Floor Plans:
Entry
As you approach the wide front porch, shaded columns and crisp railings create a welcoming first impression.
It feels like the kind of spot where you’d want to linger with a glass of sweet tea, waving to neighbors as the afternoon drifts by.
Step through the front door, and you’ll enter a spacious foyer. There’s convenient storage nearby for shoes, bags, and umbrellas.
Foyer
The foyer does more than simply welcome guests. It connects the main pathways of the home.
Natural light pours in, giving you a sense of the open layout ahead and drawing your gaze toward the great room.
The staircase curves to your right, with an elevator close by for easy access between floors.
A hallway to your left leads toward the kitchen and other service areas.
Study
Just off the foyer, the study provides a quiet, separate space for work or reading.
You could set this up as a home office, library, or a cozy nook for quiet moments.
There’s a powder bath right next door, so guests won’t need to walk through the rest of the home.
Kitchen
Moving forward, you reach the kitchen. The large island and plenty of workspace catch your attention immediately.
This area is perfect for meal prep, homework sessions, or gathering with friends over coffee.
The walk-in pantry is oversized, which I think is a great feature for anyone who enjoys cooking or entertaining.
The kitchen connects easily to the dining room, making it simple to serve family-style meals or set up a holiday buffet.
Dining Room
The dining room sits right next to the kitchen. I like how its location keeps the cook involved in the conversation and opens up to the great room, creating a social atmosphere.
Windows let in lots of natural light and frame views of the outdoors, making meals feel special.
Great Room
The great room stands out as the main gathering spot. It’s spacious enough to host a crowd or enjoy a relaxing movie night.
Large doors open directly to the covered lanai, making it feel like the outdoor and indoor living spaces are connected.
I really enjoy how this setup makes entertaining or casual afternoons easy and inviting.
Covered Lanai
Step outside to the covered lanai and you’ll discover a breezy, shaded retreat that feels like a true outdoor living room.
Part of the lanai wraps to the side, giving you multiple areas for dining, lounging, or simply enjoying the coastal air.
Just a few steps away, the outdoor kitchen lets you turn grilling and alfresco dinners into a regular part of life.
Outdoor Kitchen
This fully equipped area is ideal for long summer evenings. You can keep an eye on guests both inside and outside, thanks to its location right off the main living areas.
There’s a powder bath just inside, so you don’t have to worry about anyone tracking sand or water through the house.
Powder Baths
Two powder baths are located on this level—one near the kitchen and pantry, and another next to the study. Both are positioned for convenience, so guests can freshen up without going far from where the action is.
Master Suite Wing
The master suite sits in a quiet part of the home, designed for privacy. A sitting area welcomes you at the entry, creating a restful vibe before you step into the bedroom.
I like that this isn’t just a hallway, but a usable area for reading or relaxing.
Master Suite
The master bedroom is spacious and offers views of the surrounding greenery. It truly feels like a peaceful retreat at the end of the day.
Two walk-in closets sit on either side of the entry to the bath, so you won’t have to worry about storage or sharing space during busy mornings.
Master Bath
The master bath offers a spa-like atmosphere, featuring a large shower, soaking tub, and dual vanities. Everything you need is close at hand, and the layout and lighting make it easy to picture starting your day or unwinding in comfort.
Sitting Area & Wet Bar
Just outside the master suite, there’s a sitting area and wet bar that create a transition from the bustling parts of the home. This setup is perfect for morning coffee or a nightcap, all without needing to leave your private wing.
Utility Room
Beyond the master bath and closets, you’ll find a dedicated utility room. It has space for laundry, storage, and other chores, all tucked out of sight from the main living areas.
I think having the utility room so close to the master suite makes handling linens and laundry much easier.
Mud Area & Garage Access
As you head toward the garage, you pass through a practical mud area that isn’t air-conditioned.
It’s just right for kicking off sandy shoes or storing gear after a day outside.
This transition zone helps keep messes contained and simplifies daily routines.
Two-Car Garage and Storage
The two-car garage is oversized and includes a separate, deep storage area. If you have beach gear, bikes, or even a golf cart, there’s a place for everything.
Entry to the house is right by the mudroom, which I think really helps keep things organized.
Pantry
Back inside, the pantry is perfectly situated between the kitchen and the garage entry. Restocking after a grocery run couldn’t be easier, and everything you need is close at hand.
Elevator
The elevator sits at the center of the home, near the wet bar and pantry, making trips upstairs simple. I see this as a great feature for anyone planning to stay in the home long-term or for days when stairs are less appealing.
Storage
Throughout both levels, storage closets are thoughtfully placed for daily convenience. There’s one near the foyer, another upstairs by the elevator, and more tucked into key spots.
I appreciate how these details help keep living spaces uncluttered—a mark of good design.
Staircase
The main staircase rises from the foyer and gives the home a sense of presence. Natural light pours down from above, and the open landing lets you keep an eye on what’s happening downstairs.
Upstairs Foyer and Open Area
At the top of the stairs, you’ll find a large open area with a clear view over the foyer. This landing is more than just a passageway; it’s a spot where people can pause, talk, or look out to the covered porch beyond.
Loft
The upstairs loft is flexible and can serve as a media room, play area, or even a second living room for teens or guests. With windows on two sides, it stays bright and welcoming all day.
Bedroom #2
Bedroom #2 is one of the largest upstairs and features its own walk-in closet. It sits at the end of the hall, right next to a covered porch, which gives it a little extra privacy.
There’s a full bath (Bath #2) just steps away, making it convenient for guests or family members.
Bedroom #3
Bedroom #3 is located on the opposite side of the loft, with a walk-in closet and direct access to Bath #3. It’s a great spot for kids or visitors, with enough room for a desk or lounge chair.
Bedroom #4
Near the elevator and staircase, Bedroom #4 is nicely sized and has a dedicated bath (Bath #4) close by. The nearby storage closets and laundry make it a practical choice for an older child, guest, or even live-in help.
Wet Bar (Upstairs)
Upstairs, there’s a second wet bar, which is quite rare and definitely useful. You can use it for snacks, drinks, or coffee, making the upper level feel self-sufficient.
This comes in handy for movie nights in the loft or when guests are spending time on the porch.
Bathrooms #2, #3, and #4
Each upstairs bath is designed for comfort, with features like large mirrors, plenty of storage, and easy access from the bedrooms. This setup helps avoid morning traffic jams and makes daily routines smoother.
A/V Room
A dedicated A/V room sits near Bedroom #4. It’s perfect for gaming, movies, or keeping noise contained.
I think this space could also be great for homework or hobbies.
Storage (Upstairs)
Two storage rooms line the upstairs hallway, one near the elevator and another next to the A/V room. These areas help keep bedrooms and living spaces tidy, which is especially important in a home of this size.
Upstairs Covered Porch
The covered porch stretches across much of the upper floor and is truly eye-catching. You can step out from the loft or bedrooms and enjoy fresh air with a view of the front landscaping.
This spot feels made for lazy afternoons and evening chats, with space for rocking chairs or a small table.
Upstairs Covered Porch (Side)
On the side of the house, there’s an extra covered porch attached to Bedroom #2. This private corner is perfect for enjoying coffee at sunrise or slipping away with a good book on breezy days.
Upstairs Hallways and Transitions
Wide hallways upstairs link all the bedrooms, storage, and porches, making the upper level feel open and easy to navigate. There’s a calming atmosphere here, with lots of light and just enough separation to give everyone a sense of privacy.
Walking through this house, you really get to experience how every detail—from porches to wet bars, storage nooks to private suites—works together to create a coastal retreat that fits real family life. No matter if you’re entertaining, relaxing, or looking for a peaceful spot, there’s always a perfect place for whatever you need.
