16 Seven Wells Court, Alys Beach, Florida - MLS# 430203 Be the first to live in this prominent, 4-bedroom/4-bath corner home in Alys Beach! Custom-designed by Julia Starr Sanford, the 3332-square-foot whitewashed masonry courtyard home fronts a pedestrian path that will eventually run from gulf to lake. Tongue-and-groove ceilings with ebony-stained cypress beams and trusses reach 10 ˝’ throughout the open living/kitchen/dining area and all interior walls are done in a hand-rubbed plaster finish. Bathed in natural light, the second-story living space is lined with floor-to-ceiling, transomed French doors that temporarily give way to expansive gulf views (that will change with the community) from the home’s corner vantage point just north of 30A. The professionally equipped kitchen opens onto an oversized, beachward facing loggia with a Wolf gas grill. One of two masters, each with its own custom bath, can also be found upstairs. From the first floor, 3 bedrooms (one designed as a second master) and a study all open onto a custom-designed courtyard. Set in Dominican shellstone, the courtyard integrates loblolly bay, trailing rosemary, creeping jenny, and dwarf mondo grass around a sculptural fountain. An expansive loggia, which centers around one of the home’s 3 ventless fireplaces, welcomes you into the space. The first-floor also features a glass-tiled walk-in shower that can be accessed from either outdoors or in. The two floors are connected by way of a private internal elevator and stair as well as a shellstone-lined external stair. Black Walnut graces the second-story floors, while Dolphin Grey Peacock Pavers cover the first. Built to “Fortified…for safer living” standards and geothermal throughout, the home is warranted for two years and has the option of being insured through Chubb’s Masterpiece Personal Insurance Program. |
