A tropical landscape welcomes you to this beautiful Mediterranean home situated on one
of the highest points of desirable Amelia Island, Florida, which affords it a spectacular
ocean view.
The front door, a hand-tooled 2 ¾-inch Peruvian work of art, is adorned by the mythological
Hypocampus, which pulled Poseidon's chariot.
A spectacular foyer opens to the formal living room, dining room and family room, while showcasing
the beautiful curved stairway with custom wrought iron. High-end lighting and Moroccan-influenced
designer furnishings enhance the beauty of this home.
The formal living room has 12-foot ceilings and Palladium windows with custom window treatments.
This room also could be used as a library or opened to the main living space.
In the family room, a double-bladed fan circulates the air from the 25-foot ceiling. A gas fireplace
features antique corbels and a custom mantle. The built-in wet bar with a hand-hammered
copper sink rests on the custom entertainment center/bar.
Sliding French doors open the rooms to a huge slate deck, giving you and your guests a beautiful
ocean view.
In the kitchen, custom cabinetry, granite countertops with mosaic and hand-carved backsplash,
and 18-inch stone floors highlight entertaining in this space. High-end stainless steel appliances
are evident while pecky cypress beams highlight the hand-troweled walls.
Leading into the kitchen are a coat closet, pantry, laundry room and stunning half bath
with custom Italian mosaic grotto fashioned to reflect sand and sea.
Doors from both the kitchen and master bedroom lead to the semi-circular slate patio with
wrought iron railing overlooking a large fenced-in backyard.
The patio's spiral staircase leads to an upper balcony that offers vast ocean views.
In the over-sized master bedroom, there is room for a sitting area and about 400 square
feet for additional built-in cabinetry or closets.
Additional luxuries in the master suite are a custom shower, huge mirrored double-sink
vanity and Jacuzzi.
The curved stairway circles the downstairs with a catwalk leading to four additional
bedrooms. One is currently used as the executive office while another is utilized as an exercise
room. A slate-tiled Jack-and-Jill bath between two of the rooms features a large round glass
tile window that allows for ample light while maintaining privacy.
The other guest room has its own bath with Jacuzzi. High quality and colorful custom
window treatments are included throughout.
The custom garage also was given meticulous thought and planning. Cabinetry and closets
offer tremendous floor-to-ceiling storage.
The homeowner's association pool area is one of the grandest on the island. Always impeccably
maintained, the huge pool is situated behind private gates on the road to Peters Point
beside Carlton Dunes and the nearby Ritz-Carlton. This amenity alone is worth more than the
$90 per month homeowner's dues.
