Fabulous oceanfront home perched high on a dune offering spectacular panoramas of the Atlantic. Offered for the first time in many decades, the home has been lovingly cared for and constantly improved by fastidious owners. A Chicago brick drive laid in a herringbone pattern transcends the steep hill bordered by lush hedges. Upon entry to the home you are greeted in a lovely open air courtyard where beautiful wrought iron double gates open into a wonderful foyer before entering the main living space where large panel windows allow the brilliant colors of the ocean indoors. This charming space has heart-pine floors that gleam beneath a handsome fireplace with cathedral ceilings towering above. The simplistic yet sophisticated kitchen features a Wolf natural gas range/oven unit to suit the chef and the workspace opens directly onto the great room offering stunning views. The ocean room is situated parallel to the shoreline and serves as an extension of the main living space offering a more intimate experience with the water and a door that opens onto the oceanfront lanai. An oceanfront bedroom with plantation shutters is the ideal spot to nap and listen to the waves roll into the sand below. A remarkable bath with vintage tile in perfect condition is complimented by a handcrafted stainless vanity. The second bedroom is a complete suite with another lovely vintage bath and private access out to the front foyer for guests. A unique and inviting private wet room was created to serve beachgoers as they return to the villa where towels and garments can be rinsed and draped to dry before rinsing the salt and sand off in the shower. Seldom do you find a home with a combination of such rich character and undeniable charm that is presented in pristine condition here on the oceanfront. Truly a rare opportunity. Owners can not close until July 3, 2023 or after. ;Water: City
