A Modern Waterfront Masterpiece in the Heart of Dunedin
Step into a world where architectural brilliance meets coastal resilience. This newly built (2022) Art Deco-inspired waterfront estate is a true masterpiece of modern design, offering an unparalleled blend of luxury, innovation, and durability—all set against the stunning backdrop of Florida’s Gulf waters.
Unparalleled Design & Craftsmanship
Designed with both grandeur and resilience in mind, this three-story marvel offers five bedrooms and five full bathrooms, each thoughtfully positioned to maximize the breathtaking water views. Built to withstand Category 5 hurricane winds, the home is constructed with reinforced concrete floors on every level, hurricane-rated PGT black vinyl windows and doors, and superior flood protection. A commercial-grade TPO roof, two Trane A/C units, and spray foam insulation provide long-term durability and energy efficiency.
Inside, every detail reflects a sophisticated modern aesthetic. The level 5 wall finishes create a flawless, ultra-smooth surface, complementing the sealed concrete floors, which are hypoallergenic, low-maintenance, and effortlessly stylish. Sleek European-style toilets with hidden tanks enhance the minimalist appeal, while a private elevator seamlessly connects all three floors for maximum convenience.
Each of the five bedrooms offers panoramic water views and spacious walk-in closets, with three of them featuring ensuite bathrooms, ensuring ultimate privacy and comfort.
Sweeping Gulf Views & Outdoor Serenity
Every element of this home is designed to immerse you in Florida’s coastal beauty. The expansive balconies on the second and third floors provide a front-row seat to glistening Gulf waters and spectacular sunsets, while over 1,300 square feet of elevated outdoor deck space allows for endless entertaining or quiet moments of relaxation.
The resort-style saltwater pool, a true oasis of tranquility, is surrounded by imported shellstone pavers, which stay cool to the touch even on the warmest days. At night, Bluetooth-controlled colored LED lighting transforms the pool into a stunning display, allowing you to customize the ambiance to fit any occasion.
Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the impact glass rear vertical doors on the lower level frame breathtaking views of the pool and waterfront, creating a natural extension of the interior living space. Thoughtfully placed dusk-to-dawn exterior lighting highlights the home’s striking architectural features, while an oversized spiral staircase provides easy access between the pool deck and the main outdoor living area.
A Car Collector’s Dream & Ultimate Entertainment Space
The oversized garage space is an automotive enthusiast’s dream, offering enough room to accommodate up to nine vehicles—a rare feature in waterfront properties. Beyond its primary function, this space can be easily transformed into a state-of-the-art gym, entertainment lounge, or workshop. The hurricane-impact glass garage doors open directly to the pool area, creating an unparalleled indoor-outdoor entertaining experience where guests can mingle between luxury and leisure.
Gourmet Chef’s Kitchen
The state-of-the-art kitchen is designed to be as functional as it is stylish, featuring a Bosch counter-depth stainless refrigerator, Bosch top-of-the-line dishwasher, and a Bosch 5-burner induction cooktop. A KitchenAid combination convection oven adds versatility for the culinary enthusiast, while sleek cabinetry and high-end finishes create a modern and elegant space for cooking and gathering.
State-of-the-Art Features & Smart Technology
Every element of this home is infused with cutting-edge technology and high-end features for modern living. Two Smart LED WiFi-capable fireplaces offer effortless ambiance at the touch of a button, while a 400-amp electrical system includes a sub-panel ready for a future boat lift. A 220V electric car charging station ensures convenience for EV owners, and pre-wired outlets throughout the home allow for additional ceiling fans, recessed lighting, or even a custom-installed disco ball—ideal for lively waterfront gatherings.
Efficiency and sustainability are also at the forefront, with an extra-large capacity tankless water heater and gas service availability providing energy-saving solutions. Meanwhile, the xeriscaped landscaping ensures effortless year-round beauty without the need for traditional lawn maintenance, incorporating salt- and drought-tolerant plants for a lush yet sustainable outdoor environment.
