Nestled along a serene canal and embraced by a curtain of mature tropical palms, this custom-remodeled residence unfolds as a private coastal estate—an intimate sanctuary where luxury, tranquility, and effortless island living exist in perfect harmony. Masterfully re-imagined by Eason Builder Group, the home was completely gutted and rebuilt just four years ago, and last year the entire first level was once again fully renovated, resulting in a residence that feels both newly crafted and timelessly refined. From the moment you arrive, a sense of seclusion and calm sets in. As you walk up to the home, an old-growth Gumbo Limbo greets you. Sunlight filters through new hurricane-impact windows, illuminating interiors designed to feel open yet intimate, grand yet soothing. The main living space becomes a natural gathering place, anchored by a custom-built-in entertainment center and a coffee station. An elegant touch that invites slow mornings, refined evenings, and effortless entertaining. Sonos surround sound flows throughout the home, creating an ambient soundtrack for daily life, while a fully integrated security and camera system offers peace of mind and quiet confidence. The kitchen stands as a statement of both beauty and performance, where quartz countertops, solid-wood glass-front cabinetry, a sculptural range hood, designer pendant lighting, and stainless-steel Bosch appliances come together in a space crafted for culinary artistry and connection. It opens seamlessly to the dining area, where a wood-burning travertine stone fireplace adds warmth and architectural presence, setting the stage for candlelit dinners and lingering conversations. Two luxurious primary suites, one on each level offers the rare indulgence of privacy and flexibility. Each is finished with shiplap walls, porcelain tile, recessed lighting, and abundant natural light. The upper-level retreat opens to a private balcony overlooking the pool and tropical grounds, a serene perch for sunrise reflections and evening breezes. Its spa-inspired ensuite features a quartz walk-in shower, while the first-floor primary bath is appointed with a solid-wood double vanity, continuing the home’s narrative of tailored craftsmanship and understated elegance. Completing the residence are two additional bedrooms with a shared bath and an upstairs bonus room ideal for recreation, fitness, or creative pursuits. Beyond the interiors, the estate reveals its most captivating chapter. The backyard unfolds as a secluded resort, where a glistening pool and spa are framed by layered, well-established tropical landscaping that has matured into a living wall of privacy. Covered and open-air lounges invite both sun-drenched afternoons and starlit evenings, while a turf-lined grilling and gathering area provides an elevated setting for alfresco dining. Just beyond the palms, the canal stretches quietly behind the property, creating the illusion that the waterway is an extension of your own grounds and inviting a lifestyle of boating, paddleboarding, and sunset cruises from your private dock. When you venture beyond this sanctuary, the unmistakable charm of Holmes Beach awaits. This is more than a home—it is a refined island retreat, custom crafted for those who seek privacy, comfort, and tranquility, with the rare privilege of a secluded waterfront setting and immediate access to one of Florida’s most cherished beach communities.
