Description

Experience the height of Livable Luxury in this extraordinary estate designed by Thomas Everett Lamb and built by Windstar Homes, an award-winning custom builder with over 100 industry accolades for craftsmanship and architectural excellence. Positioned on the open bay along Davis Islands, this one-of-a-kind residence blends timeless design with resort-style living. Created for grand-scale entertaining and refined everyday living, the home captures sweeping bay views, expansive terraces, and meticulously curated interiors. A stately arrival welcomes with parking for 9 vehicles and a 4-car garage, framed by hand-cast cement trim, shell detailing, and custom copper lanterns. Twin fountains accent the circular glass-paneled French doors, opening to a breathtaking foyer highlighted by a sweeping spiral staircase, intricate filigree ironwork, layered crown and dentil moldings, and a dramatic domed ceiling. The Grand Salon and formal dining spaces, including a dining alcove flanked by dual wine rooms with beveled glass, feature hardwood floors, hand-carved limestone fireplaces, and floor-to-ceiling arched windows. Walls of glass frame the west-facing veranda, gazebo, pool, fire pit, party dock, pickleball court, and unobstructed open bay. Exceptional craftsmanship is evident throughout, with concealed air-conditioning vents seamlessly integrated within the crown molding, deep windowsills, and extensive custom millwork. The chef’s kitchen centers around a massive island with beveled stone countertops and dual crystal chandeliers, complemented by Sub-Zero refrigeration, double dishwashers, and a Wolf range with griddle. A fully equipped scullery kitchen offers commercial refrigeration, double ovens, and additional prep space, ideal for catered events. A butler’s pantry, mudroom, and secondary laundry enhance daily functionality. Seamless indoor-outdoor living unfolds as the kitchen and great room open to a covered terrace featuring a pizza oven, warming drawer, beverage refrigerator, ice maker, sink, gas grill, and generous seating and dining areas overlooking the pool and bay. The first level also includes a bayfront office with custom cabinetry and fireplace, a game room with bar and adjacent theater, as well as a gym, craft, and multipurpose spaces. A private guest suite with rotunda seating, kitchenette, and elaborate bath completes the main floor. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private sanctuary occupying nearly one-third of the level. Entered through a grand vestibule, it features a bayfront sitting room with terrace access, limestone fireplace, dual custom walk-in closets with crystal chandeliers, and a spa-inspired bath with fireplace, steam shower, and marble finishes. Additional bedroom suites offer ensuite baths, custom cabinetry, and tranquil water or garden views, with many opening to private terraces. A separate guest or nanny suite, accessible via stairs and a hidden passage, includes a full kitchen, living area, bedroom, walk-in closet, laundry, and full bath. Outdoor living rivals a private resort, with a gazebo featuring marble bar seating for ten, a resort-style pool, fire pit, multiple terraces, pool baths, and a fully equipped kitchen. A crow’s nest terrace captures west-facing sunsets over the bay.
