Rosemary Beach Gulf Front Home 88 Windward Lane as Tracy’s Top Luxury Pick for April 5th 2010

88 Windward Sold for $3,850,000 on May 11, 2010

When the weather turns warm I find myself instinctively drawn to those homes that embrace the outdoors and welcome you to take a moment to enjoy the natural beauty of Northwest Florida. Many homes in our area do have some outside space available to them, but it is those rare few that truly draw the outdoors in that I look for.

For this weeks luxury pick I have found an exceptional gulf front home in Rosemary Beach that does just that. With 66 feet of Gulf frontage, on the Eastern end of Rosemary Beach, 88 Windward Lane is bordered by dedicated public beach access which allows for expansive views across the Gulf of Mexico. Both stories of this house boast expansive gulf front covered balconies allowing for additional living space to enjoy the stunning gulf views and amazing sunsets. The entrance of the house is just as stunning with its private courtyard and fountain providing a central gathering area for friends, family, or guests.

We have been busy going through dozens of luxury homes with customers in many of our favorite developments including WaterColor, WaterSound, Seaside and Rosemary Beach. This amazing luxury home in Rosemary Beach caught my eye specifically with its contemporary finishes and environmentally sensitive design. 276 East Water Street in Rosemary Beach was designed by Architect Gary Justiss and featured in Coastal Living Magazine in 2007. If you are looking for an amazing home on the south side of Rosemary Beach, this may be the home for you.

Originally a modest dogtrot cottage in Rosemary Beach, the home was modified & more than doubled in size to contain a mirror image of the original structure, connected by an atrium like breezeway which serves as the living area as well as the focal point. Enjoy the fabulous living room fireplace while looking out the huge wall of windows onto the cozy courtyard and fountain. Contemporary finishes, such as smooth, hand troweled stucco finishes on key interior walls mingled with horizontal, wide plank paneling, contribute to a sophisticated, yet casual atmosphere. Limestone counters, stainless steel appliances and custom, reeded wormy oak cabinets complete the kitchen's clean, modern design. Two master suites, each with private sleeping porches and large, inviting master baths are located upstairs. Both master baths include mosaic tiles and free standing soaking tubs, surrounded by river rocks.

With 93 homes currently on the market in Rosemary Beach, we have a lot of available inventory to work with. Rosemary Beach is the mecca for luxury homes along Scenic Highway 30A and is well known and favorite destination for many visitors. The 93 homes that are for sale have a wide price range from the low of $419,000 to a high of $5,999,000. The average price of all the homes for sale is $1.8 million which represents roughly $658 per square foot. We have seen price declines in many luxury areas such as WaterColor and WaterSound. WaterColor home sales are up over 34% from the same 6 month period in 2008 as a result.

Rosemary Beach has not experienced the drastic price reductions we have seen along Scenic Highway 30A and many of their high end luxury homeowners are waiting out the market. They are in no hurry to sell their precious piece of paradise in a fire sale.

We recently have seen a few homes in Rosemary Beach go under contract. One of particular interest is 72 Windward Lane. This is a gorgeous gulf front home that is currently listed for $3.7 million. This wonderful 5 bedroom, 4 bath 2,500sf home is what luxury living on the Gulf is about. It is postive news to see such an exclusive gulf front home in Rosemary Beach go under contract and hope that we will continue to see more buyers flock to one of the premier luxury destinations in the country.
