About This Home

There is a specific magic to living at 13 Sea Shell Shores, a place where the rhythm of the tide dictates the pace of your life. This gated estate is more than a residence—it is a private Bayfront sanctuary on a one-of-a-kind sandy beach. From the moment you step inside, you realize this home was designed to be shared. The architecture prioritizes flow & connection, featuring an elevator that links the various levels of luxury. The interior narrative begins in the expansive living area, where quartz-topped culinary spaces & custom cabinetry provide the backdrop for a lifetime of memories. The dedicated wine & whiskey parlor adds a touch of old-world sophistication to the modern coastal aesthetic. Designed for the multi-generational lifestyle or the consummate entertainer, the home features multiple kitchens & several distinct lounge areas. Every bedroom in the house is a private en-suite, offering an elevated level of accommodation that is rare even in the highest end of the market. The primary suite serves as a lighthouse of sorts, perched above the bay with panoramic views, a cozy fireplace, & a marble-wrapped spa that rivals any luxury hotel. On the garden level, a secondary kitchen & entertainment lounge open directly to the salt air, complete w/ a guest suite that includes an infrared sauna and a beverage station. The outdoor experience is just as refined, featuring a 65-jet spa, towering palms, & a direct path to the sandy beach. Ownership here comes w/ peace of mind, thanks to a 2023 HVAC, a whole-home generator, a 60-foot dock, & a new bulkhead. Beyond the walls of the home, the property extends its exclusivity with first option on an additional 1/4 acre lot in the adjacent Bahamas subd., granting access to a residents only, sandy beach, lighted pier & boardwalk. This is not just a house; it is a legacy property where nature is an integral part of the lifestyle. Sold w/ the majority of furnishings. Independently appraised value of $2.5M in April 2025.
