An arched teak-and-holly ceiling defines the hallway, which passes the four-stop elevator on the way to the powder room and two ensuite bedrooms, including a junior primary suite. The ground level offers an ocean-facing family room, ensuite guest bedroom with walk-in closet, powder room, dedicated fitness room, and a generous laundry and mudroom with extensive storage. Upstairs, a custom railing overlooks the main living area. The primary suite features a marble-finished bath with gold-toned fixtures and wide sliding doors that open to a private oceanfront deck and frame the sunrise over the Atlantic. An additional ensuite bedroom and office flex space complete the upper level. Outside, private dune access leads directly to the beach. Nestled between the house and dune, the oversized L-shaped heated saltwater gunite pool with travertine surround creates an exceptionally private outdoor setting, complemented by mature landscaping, an outdoor shower, covered patio areas and a hanging swing sofa overlooking the pool. The Atlantic provides the backdrop throughout. At 339 E Atlantic Blvd, the setting, architecture and craftsmanship come together in a rare Gardens beachfront property designed around its exceptional oceanfront site. |
