The Space:
Morning light filters through expansive windows as the Gulf breeze drifts in, carrying the quiet rhythm of waves just beyond the street. Soft Gulf light fills the rooms as sea air drifts through open balconies, setting an easy rhythm for days spent between sand and neighborhood streets.
The space
Set just steps from the sand in the Grayton Beach community of Santa Rosa Beach, this newly constructed home is designed for large gatherings with room to spread out and reconnect. The layout spans three levels with open living areas that flow naturally outdoors. White oak hardwood floors, imported tile, and custom finishes appear throughout, reflecting the thoughtful craftsmanship of the build.

Shared spaces anchor the home and encourage time together. A game room with a pool table opens to a comfortable living area with a wet bar and direct access to the backyard.
