Description of 274 Beachside Drive
Extraordinary Gulf-Front Living on the Emerald Coast.
Imagine stepping from your private dune walkover onto a magnificent Gulf-front estate, perched high above the shoreline on a 20+ foot high dune, where sweeping views, exceptional craftsmanship, and effortless coastal living converge.
Set within the exclusive gated community of Carillon Beach, this extraordinary 6,831-square-foot solid-concrete estate offers a rare combination of privacy, scale, luxury, and versatility. From its elevated position, the property captures spectacular panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Powell--one of Florida's celebrated coastal dune lakes.
Designed for both grand entertaining and relaxed everyday living, the estate encompasses a magnificent main residence and a beautifully appointed separate guest house. This beachfront property offers remarkable flexibility for a primary residence, luxury second home, multi-generational retreat, or investment property. The two homes may also be rented together or independently.
The combination of main house and guest house features 7 bedroom/bath ensuites and 3 half baths, offering an exemplary private living experience. There is a 3-car garage plus additional on-site parking providing space for up to 7 vehicles.
Throughout the home, custom details and premium finishes create an elevated residential experience, including custom Italian closets by Lizzoni, designer window treatments, and top of the line appliances and custom finishes. At the center of the home is an impressive living and entertaining space designed to make a statement. A dramatic stone fireplace anchors the room, while an 85-inch television, glass-enclosed wine wall for 20+ bottles, and expansive bar area creates an exceptional setting for entertaining family and friends.
The dining area takes full advantage of the spectacular Gulf views and flows seamlessly into a chef's kitchen outfitted for serious culinary use. Highlights include a 60-inch Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, 48-inch Wolf gas range, and 30-inch double oven. A generous walk-in butler's pantry adds another full-size refrigerator and freezer, along with abundant storage and workspace.
A Private Home Theater
For unforgettable movie nights and entertaining, the residence includes an exceptionally spacious private media room featuring an 11-foot wall-to-ceiling screen, quartz-topped bar, and under-counter refrigerator.
The media room can also be secured and separated from rental areas, adding another layer of flexibility for owners who choose to use the property as a luxury vacation home.
Separate Guest House
Overlooking the resort-style pool, the separate guest house offers privacy and independence while remaining seamlessly connected to the main estate.
Expansive 8-foot-high windows frame beautiful views of both the Gulf and Lake Powell. The guest house features a full kitchen with island bar, two private bedroom/baths ensuites, a powder room and laundry room - ideal for visiting family, extended guests, a private retreat, or additional rental income.
Resort-Style Outdoor Living
Outside, the property becomes its own private coastal retreat.
A large private saltwater pool is surrounded by custom travertine decking and mature palms, creating a relaxed resort atmosphere just steps from the Gulf. Sunning, relaxing, and dining areas on the deck complete the perfect outdoor setting. The Multiple covered porches provide inviting spaces for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, al fresco dining, or simply enjoying the extraordinary coastal setting.
And when it's time to experience the beach, a direct dune walkover provides easy access to the Gulf shoreline.
Advanced Technology, Security & Infrastructure
Behind the beauty of the estate is an extensive suite of technology and infrastructure designed to provide effortless ownership, comfort, and security.
A professionally integrated smart-home system controls lighting, security, Wi-Fi, entertainment, and audio throughout the property, with convenient mobile-app access for owners who travel or live elsewhere.
Indoor and outdoor audio allows music and television to be enjoyed throughout the property, while property-wide Wi-Fi extends all the way to the beach.
Security features include seven perimeter cameras and a video doorbell, with 24/7 recording covering exterior entrances, the beach side, street side, pool area, driveway, and garage.
A whole-property water filtration and softening system with carbon filtration serves both the home and pool. Dehumidifiers with dedicated drain lines are installed on every floor of both residences.
Additional conveniences include two private owners' storage closets within the main house, an elevator, and thoughtfully designed infrastructure throughout both homes.
