luxury houses with reception room for sale Alys Beach, United States

This magnificent residence is situated on .43 acres in the coveted community of Watersound Camp Creek which is a much larger homesite than most of the neighborhood. 172 Norman Court pairs 5,501 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with finishes and features that are difficult to match for under $5 million. To help visualize furniture placement many of the photos have been digitally staged. The main level is built around a central open-concept living area with hardwood floors, custom built-ins, and a linear gas fireplace. NanaWall sliding doors erase the boundary between the indoor living space and the outdoor kitchen and porches, creating a single entertaining footprint that flows from the kitchen island to the pool terrace without interruption. The kitchen features commercial-grade stainless appliances with a six-burner range and skillet, custom cabinetry, and a large center island. A hidden scullery includes an additional refrigerator, dishwasher, sink, and deep pantry storage which keeps the main kitchen in pristine condition while entertaining. A 200-plus bottle climate-controlled wine room and a dedicated wine cooler in the dining area are included. The primary suite is on the main level. It features a tray ceiling, a generously scaled ensuite with raised ceilings, designer tile, soaking tub, oversized shower, an expansive walk-in closet, and a dedicated safe room. A first-floor guest bedroom with ensuite bath, full laundry room, and a sand room with built-in storage complete the ground level. An integrated Sonos sound system runs throughout the home. The outdoor living area is designed for year-round use. Retractable motorized screens enclose a covered space with summer kitchen, gas fireplace, and seating for large groups. The spacious backyard opens up to the heated pool and spa enclosed by a permanent wooded buffer so no future construction or neighbors. The second floor offers an expansive secondary living area with wet bar that is large enough to function as a game room, home theater, or golf simulator space. Three additional bedrooms, each with its own full ensuite bath, complete the upper level. Every bedroom in this home has its own ensuite bath. Other notable features of this all brick residence include the attached 3-car garage and dedicated office. Ownership conveys exclusive Watersound Club membership -- three golf courses including the Tom Fazio-designed Camp Creek course and the new Davis Love III-designed The Third course, gulf-front Beach Club with complimentary chair and umbrella service, 11,000-square-foot wellness center, resort pools, tennis and pickleball courts, and multiple private dining venues. Fewer than 15 developer homesites remain in the community.

Few streets in Seagrove hold their ground the way San Roy Road does. Set one lot off the beach, the home sits close enough to the gulf to the south to draw its light and breeze, while Eastern Lake, one of the region's rare coastal dune lakes, curves in from the north, so the water frames the property from two directions and the horizon never fully closes. Over the past several years, this street has drawn some of the area's most considered new construction; this three-story residence stands among the finest of them. Set behind a palm-lined paver drive, the home reads as clean coastal contemporary: crisp clapboard, a standing-seam metal roof and stacked verandas that step toward the water. The interiors are the real event. They are knockout high-end without ever tipping into excess, exceptionally tasteful and precisely judged, nothing overdone and nothing left wanting. Spanning more than 5,200 square feet, the home offers six bedrooms, five full baths and two half baths, with pecky cypress running as a quiet through-line, worked into cabinetry and ceiling detail on nearly every level, its texture warming rooms that are otherwise bright, white and unhurried. Because the gulf-front lots directly ahead are already built, the water views from inside are effectively permanent, the kind of forever views no future construction can take away. The heart of the home is the second-level kitchen, a massively scaled space built for real cooking and real gathering, anchored by a waterfall-edge island, Sub-Zero refrigeration, a professional-grade range and custom cypress cabinetry. Walls of glass open it to the covered porches and the gulf beyond, and wide-plank white oak runs underfoot. Down on the pool level, a second full kitchen handles poolside entertaining on its own, so the lower floor never has to borrow from the one above. Marble baths, a built-in bunk room and multiple living areas give the house room to hold family and guests at the same time. Outside, the lot lives large. The backyard is genuinely expansive for the beach block, given over to a spacious private pool within a walled, planted yard and framed by multiple levels of covered decks and porches that trade gulf breeze for afternoon shade depending on the hour. Two separate single-car garages, each with its own overflow storage, handle the practical side of coastal ownership without asking the home to compromise. The result is a finely outfitted residence in one of Seagrove's most prominent settings, and one that has never been rented, its finishes and furnishings kept in original, uncompromised condition. Turnkey, thoughtfully built and moments from the sand, the shops and the dining that define this stretch of the coast, it is the rare home that asks nothing of its next owner. On a street like San Roy Road, homes at this level of finish rarely stay available for long.

Built in 2022 and custom-designed by its owner, this charming coastal cottage captures the relaxed spirit of life south of Scenic Highway 30A. Positioned on a corner lot in the sought-after Eastern Lake neighborhood, beside a protected wooded greenspace that will never be built on, the home offers a peaceful setting just a short stroll from the Gulf of Mexico and the Eastern Lake Neighborhood Beach Access. Designed in the spirit of a classic beach-cottage community, the neighborhood's homes back up to greenspace with rear porches and a pedestrian path that winds gently down to the beach. Thoughtfully crafted by a commercial builder, the residence pairs exceptional construction with timeless cottage character, creating a turnkey retreat equally suited as a full-time residence, second home or proven investment property. Spanning approximately 1,800 square feet, the two-story home features two bedrooms, 2½ baths and a custom-built bunk nook tucked into the second-floor landing, providing additional sleeping space without sacrificing the home's open feel. Hardwood flooring extends throughout, while abundant windows fill the interiors with natural light. The inviting main living area flows seamlessly into the dining space and beautifully appointed kitchen, where quartz countertops, a center island with seating, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, woven shades and rattan pendant lighting create an atmosphere that is both stylish and functional. A striking floating wood-and-steel staircase serves as a focal point, adding contemporary character to the home's coastal aesthetic. Multiple covered porches encourage effortless outdoor living, including a private side-entry porch set alongside the wooded greenspace, offering inviting spaces for morning coffee, afternoon breezes or evening gatherings after a day at the beach. The primary suite provides a peaceful escape with elegant designer wallpaper, a luxurious private bath and its own private balcony overlooking the arched pathway that leads to the beach. The guest suite features two queen beds, a nearby shared bath and its own large roofed balcony overlooking the shaded front yard from the second floor, while the built-in twin bunks provide an ideal retreat for younger guests. The yard is surrounded by mature landscaping and highlighted by a charming garden arbor, creating a private outdoor sanctuary with room to relax, grill and entertain. With four parking spaces, stacked front and rear porches and a quiet wooded setting, every detail has been thoughtfully considered. Located in the heart of Seagrove Beach, residents enjoy easy access to the beach, scenic biking trails, kayaking and paddleboarding on one of South Walton's treasured coastal dune lakes, as well as fishing, swimming and the renowned shopping and dining destinations along 30A. Combining quality craftsmanship, abundant natural light and an exceptional location just moments from the gulf, this beautifully maintained coastal cottage offers an outstanding opportunity to enjoy the best of life along the Emerald Coast.

Rising along Live Oak Street in Old Seagrove, this new construction residence spans across three luxurious stories with Gulf views from nearly every level. The pairing of architect Greg Jazayeri and builder LPKK brings together two names synonymous with the corridor's finest work, here continuing that tradition with quiet distinction. The home's sustainable siding and brick facade set a refined tone, while dozens of windows draw the coast in through abundant natural light and beautiful fenestrations across the south-facing elevation. Six bedrooms and six full baths, plus two half baths, unfold across the home's three floors, each space finished with a designer's discerning hand. The second-floor primary suite pairs a private office nook and sitting room with a spa bath, flanked by two additional bedrooms each with their own bath. A second primary suite occupies the third floor alongside a flexible bonus room and a bunk room with its own dedicated bath, ideal for family and guests alike. A pool sits just off the main living level, offering a private outdoor retreat, while the rooftop deck delivers beautiful Gulf views from morning to sunset. Old Seagrove offers a rare blend of quiet, tucked-away charm and unbeatable proximity, just a few blocks from the shops, dining, and entertainment of Seaside. Live Oak Beach Access is less than a minute by foot.

Behind a white picket fence in the heart of Seaside, this 2,416 square foot home offers four bedrooms and four and a half baths, with beautiful porches on the ground level and a sense of privacy that is hard to find in town. Hardwood floors run throughout the first floor, home to two guest bedrooms and the master suite, each with its own full ensuite bath. The guest bedrooms feature shower tub combos, ceiling fans, and recessed lighting, while the master suite holds a king bed, double vanities, a stand up glass shower enclosure, and windows that fill the room with natural light, with under stairs storage tucked nearby. A laundry room finished with cabinets and counter space rounds out the floor. The second floor is where the living space unfolds, anchored by a kitchen outfitted with a gas range and generous counter space alongside a dining area that seats eight, all framed by natural light. A large bedroom on this floor offers built-in bookshelves and cabinetry along with an ensuite bath with a shower tub combo, and a half bath serves the main living area. A screened porch invites true outdoor living, complete with a porch swing for taking in the Seaside evenings. A third floor loft overlooks the living space below, offering ample sleeping space, and one final rise leads to a fourth floor balcony wrapping two sides of the house for 180 degree views over the treetops of Seaside. The home sits just a few blocks from the Pensacola Street beach pavilion, with easy access to Seaside's town center, shops, and restaurants.

Sitting prominently at the corner of 30A and Natchez Street, this custom built and updated cottage occupies one of Seaside's most coveted locations, directly across from the beach and just steps from the beach walkover. The full-width front porch, anchored by stout columns and a classic porch swing, wraps around the home and opens onto two of the bedrooms. Step through the foyer and the character of this beach cottage unfolds through board and batten walls, wood trim and wainscoting, and an inverted floor plan that places all four bedrooms on the first level and the main living space above. The first floor features opens to a central hall leading to four bedrooms and three full baths. The king master retreat sits at the rear of the home for privacy, with a private en-suite bath featuring a separate tub and shower, plus a screened porch for a quiet retreat. A second king bedroom includes plantation shutters, a built-in closet with drawers, and an en-suite bath that connects to an outdoor shower. A third king bedroom offers a private closet and shares a Jack-and-Jill style bath with the fourth bedroom, currently configured as a queen, with both of these bedrooms opening onto the wraparound veranda. A hall laundry closet with washer and dryer adds convenience to the first floor. Stairs off the foyer lead to the second level living area, where oak flooring continues underfoot and peaked ceilings with exposed beams create a light, airy gathering space. Two linen slip-covered sofas with swivel club chairs anchor the living room, complemented by a half bath. The kitchen has been fully remodeled with Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, new cabinetry, a KitchenAid electric range and hood, KitchenAid refrigerator, and a panel-ready Thermador freezer with ice maker. Two dining spaces, an indoor banquette with storage and an outdoor eating area offer flexibility for entertaining, all framed by French doors and tall windows that shift the room's light and ambiance throughout the day. The home is offered fully furnished. A spiral staircase leads to the enclosed tower on the third level, opening to a private deck with gulf views spanning east to west, capturing both town and water views. Perhaps the greatest opportunity at 16 Natchez is what's still to come: approved plans already exist for an 800-square-foot, two-bedroom guest cottage on the property, offering a rare path to add meaningful square footage and value in the heart of Seaside. Seaside is the town that started it all, the original New Urbanist community on 30A and the model for beach towns built for walking rather than driving. As Seaside's westernmost street, Natchez sits just before Watercolor begins, placing this home at the edge of two of 30A's most celebrated communities. This home sits directly across the street from the Natchez Beach Pavilion, one of Seaside's iconic sugar white sand access points, putting the Gulf within an easy walk from the front porch. From here, residents are close to the pedestrian paths and greenways that connect throughout town, as well as the shops, restaurants, and open air markets of Seaside's central square.
