Overview

Wake up to the sound of waves and fall asleep to Gulf breezes in this extraordinary three-story residence, perfectly positioned just steps from the white sands of Lido Beach. With direct access to the nature trails along Pansy Bayou and sweeping views of the water, sunsets, and the tranquil shores beyond, this is not simply a home, it is a lifestyle. Custom-built in 2003 by the current owner and meticulously maintained ever since, this 4,486 sq. ft. masterpiece was constructed for the long term. Masonry materials, a piling foundation, and fortress-quality construction have protected this home through every season, with no history of storm damage or water intrusion, offering exceptional peace of mind. Inside, every detail reflects thoughtful craftsmanship. Rich solid wood floors and staircases flow throughout, complemented by soaring ceilings and walls of windows that flood the home with natural light. A private elevator connects all three levels with ease. The layout is designed with both privacy and elegance in mind, featuring a serene master retreat on the second level, dedicated guest accommodations, and a stunning artist's studio outfitted with generous storage and bathed in light. The upper living level is the crown jewel, an entertainer's dream open to sky, water, and nature. The chef's kitchen impresses with thoughtful design and a generous walk-in pantry, while the showstopping terrace delivers breathtaking panoramic views that must be seen to be believed. Tucked at the end of a quiet private drive, the home offers rare seclusion without sacrifice. St. Armands Circle's world-class dining and upscale shopping are just a leisurely stroll away. An oversized attached garage plus additional off-street parking complete this exceptional offering. Homes of this caliber, in this location, simply do not come available often.
