78 Banfill St, SANTA ROSA BEACH

Just a short stroll from the beach, this spacious estate home boasts beautiful views across Western Lake and gulf views from the upper balconies. This three-story beach house makes a great first impression with a beautifully laid driveway fronting the pristine white architecture and cedar accent siding. A shady barrel vestibule with Mediterranean-style tile paves the way to the custom mahogany front door. Upscale sophistication rules indoors with scraped hardwood flooring and a feature fireplace in the expansive great room. Beams encrusted with oyster shells span the entire living room ceiling, nodding to the nearby white sandy beach. Everything is generously proportioned, from the six-seat breakfast bar to the tall windows casting daylight across the living room and formal dining area.Beneath a huge hood, the six-burner stove is just one of the high-end Wolf and Sub-Zero stainless appliances in the chef's kitchen. A butler's sink and pantry enhance this well-appointed space. The well-located wet bar is hard to miss with its gold cubic aluminum backsplash above built-in cabinets and a wine fridge. French doors invite you outside to admire the generously sized backyard with shady trees, pool and fire pit, epitomizing the laid-back Grayton Beach lifestyle. Tranquil views across the dune lake are best enjoyed while wallowing in the gently bubbling waters of the raised-edge pool. An elevator makes every room accessible to all ages and abilities while the stairwell has eye-catching scallop-edge shiplap. Cozy hidden nooks and multiple porches extend the living space while custom 2¼-inch interior doors ensure soundproofing. Six bedrooms and a bunk room are complemented by five beautifully tiled full bathrooms and a half bath, all delivering the luxury of space to multiple guests. Master suites on the second and third floors include large walk-in closets and opulent master baths graced with dolomite marble. Private balconies deliver shimmering gulf views and gentle breezes at the start of each new day. A two-car garage, outdoor shower and a huge laundry room with two washers and two dryers round off the excellent amenities. This luxury coastal estate home is perfectly located for those who want to avoid the hustle and bustle of Grayton Beach, yet still be within strolling distance of shops and eateries including the famous Red Bar Restaurant.
