Striking contemporary design and total privacy converge in this elevated retreat, situated just moments from Higgs Beach and the White Street Pier. Set behind a distinct pivoting red gate and architectural wall, the home opens to a beautifully curated showcase of natural light and clean geometric lines. The entry foyer--featuring a bright desk nook and a floating open-tread staircase--leads into a living area enclosed by floor-to-ceiling glass and transom windows framing views of the lush grounds. The minimalist kitchen centers on crisp white finishes, custom cabinetry, and premium Bosch appliances, complemented by a stylish glass-door pantry for seamless storage. Designed for privacy, a main-level guest suite is tucked behind a pocket door, providing a self-contained wing complete with an ensuite bath and generous closet space. The entire upper level is reserved for the primary suite, highlighting a spacious walk-in closet and a beautifully appointed ensuite bathroom. Step outside the bedroom onto a private balcony to enjoy an open-air soaking tub set beneath the night sky. Outdoors, mature tropical foliage surrounds the property to create a completely private sanctuary. An expansive heated pool and sunbathing deck form the centerpiece of the backyard, while a covered dining pavilion featuring a built-in grill and counter space makes outdoor entertaining effortless. Tucked to the side, a tranquil Zen garden with a fountain offers a quiet spot to relax. This exceptional residence offers modern luxury and sophisticated living just steps from the ocean.
