Modern Crystal Beach Home on Scenic 98

This distinctive residence has an outstanding location in Crystal Beach at 3153 Scenic Highway 98. It sits directly across from the neighborhood beach access and the sugar-white shoreline. This beautiful home features a two-story main house with three bedrooms and a two-story guest house with two more. An open sundeck in between them has a refreshing plunge pool, lounge furniture, and a gas grill. Within minutes you may go from taking a dip in the pool to luxuriating in the dazzling jeweled gulf waters.

This hospitable home comes complete with new contemporary furnishings that combine tropical flair with chic coastal styling. It can accommodate more than a dozen family members or fortunate guests since this home may also serve as a lucrative vacation rental property. A recent major renovation took the home down to the studs for a complete makeover from the inside out. It now includes high-impact windows and doors along with tough Hardie board exteriors. The interiors feature upscale commercial grade stainless steel appliances, custom light fixtures, high-end finishes, and durable beach-washed hardwood tile flooring.

Two dove gray leather couches and a pair of pale blue accent armchairs face a modern gas fireplace with a large wall-mounted flatscreen TV for entertainment. A half bath off the living area also serves as a convenient individual powder room.

A wide panel window highlights the bright kitchen, white custom cabinetry, matching countertops, a center island with a gas range, modern suspended sconce lighting, and stylish seating.

The tropically inspired dining area features six rich straw-woven high-backed chairs around a rustic rectangular hardwood table beneath a beaded dome chandelier.

Stairs lead up to a hallway that connects the master bedroom and a guest bedroom with a glass door that leads out to a balcony offering a glimpse of the gulf.

The master bedroom has a king-sized bed, a large wall-mounted flatscreen TV, abstract wall art, a glass door leading to the wraparound upper deck, and an ensuite luxury bath.
