WaterSound: 155 Bluejack St as Tracy’s Top Luxury Pick for August 2nd 2010

Sometimes when you are surrounded by such spectacular images, individual beauty tends to fade or rather blend in to the background. I find this to be true with community of WaterColor. Because the landscaping is so completely “perfect” and the natural surrounding so serene, the viewer begins to overlook individual beauty and quality construction of specific homes. For this particular house, there is no possible way to ignore the amazing beauty it beholds. 155 Bluejack Street in WaterColor is a builder's own custom home and it goes without saying that attention was paid to every last detail. Custom finishes and the finest engineering is found throughout the house. One of only a few houses in WaterColor with a pool, a generator, and a carriage house, make this house ideal for either full time living or exponential rental income.

Alys Beach Home 43 Lady Bug Court

When you first walk into this impressive 2-story Alys Beach courtyard home, you are greeted with an amazingly long tiled entrance hallway. The tile design makes a massive statement, which eagerly carries you into this gorgeous house. The living/dining room has a corner fireplace which I am particularly fond of because it allows for much more control of your furniture placement. This area boosts exceptional views of the pedestrian path and the park. The clean-lined kitchen has been done to the “9's”, with stainless steel appliances and a massive limestone island. Two guest bedrooms and a very spacious master suite occupy the remainder of the first floor. The stucco fireplace in the master bedroom makes such a cozy and warm feeling radiate throughout the entire room, welcoming you to stay a little longer. The master bath is a pleasant mixture of both wood details and classic clean stucco lines, with intricate use of tile on the backside of the tub wall.

The second floor of this home has two bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bathroom. Located on the second floor is your own private, serene and secluded roof top terrace which provides both a sitting area and a dining area. This area does a remarkable job in tying together that endless peaceful and relaxed feeling I get when I enter into an Alys Beach home. Yet again Alys Beach has found a way to create the perfect combination of relaxation and supreme sophistication.
