Constructed with Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction and recognized as a 2010 Parade of Homes award winner, this remarkable residence represents one of the finest luxury offerings on the Emerald Coast. From the moment of arrival, the home's striking curb appeal sets the tone for the elegance within. A grand 15-foot arched entryway illuminated by gas lanterns welcomes guests, while meticulously curated landscaping, imported Italian tumbled-stone pavers, pecky cypress corbels, and a three-car garage create an unforgettable first impression.
