1596 Lagoon Villas

Tantalizingly close to the shops, restaurants and attraction of South Beach Marina, but set on a corner lot that provides exquisite privacy, this Lagoon Villas unit dazzles with lagoon-side tranquility and freshly renovated décor.

That tranquility presents itself before you even step inside, as a front patio and garden area wrapped in privacy fencing tempts you to put your feet up and unwind. And the freshly renovated décor is evident next, as you walk inside and eye the beautiful exposed paneling lining the entryway. This sets the stage for an expertly realized craftsman beach house motif that runs throughout the villa.

The rich hardwood flooring, for example, carries the look of reclaimed wood even as it carries you into the main living space, where tall ceilings stretch toward beautiful exposed beams. A massive flat-screen TV shares wall space with décor that celebrates the dual heritage of Sea Pines: golf and the beach. Two wicker arm chairs, a lounge chair and a full-sized sleeper encircle a wide coffee table and soak in the lagoon views just beyond the spacious back patio.

The patio provides respite via four Adirondack chairs and a wrap-around built-in benches placed before a beautiful sparkling lagoon. Steps lead down to a grassy lawn where you can watch the birds on the lagoon or unwind in the shade of a twisting live oak.

Back inside, we see the décor take center stage again in a beautifully remodeled kitchen with custom-designed granite island featuring a side-by-side stainless steel prep sink. The granite continues, perfectly paired with a lovely glass tile backsplash and custom cabinet work, throughout the kitchen. High-end appliances from Kitchen Aid ensure that this kitchen is as functional as it is elegant, while a stylish sliding barn door provides access to nearby washer and dryer.

An attached dining space provides seating for six around a lovely dark wood table, tastefully accessorized with a vintage-inspired chandelier and wrapped in a panorama of windows facing out to the lagoons.

The only equal to these views can be found in the exquisite master suite, which soaks in the lagoon views through tall windows elegantly appointed with on-trend burlap curtains. The spacious king size bed, which accents the room beautifully with its venetian red linens, provides a decadently luxurious place to take in these views or watch the flat-screen TV expertly hidden in the suite’s armoire. This suit also enjoys a private bath, with granite-topped single vanity and spacious glass-doored walk-in shower featuring love custom glass tile work.

A second bedroom celebrates the excitement of the beach, placing two skim boards on the wall over dual twin beds decked in colorful quilted linens. This space also includes a flat-screen TV and incorporates a lovely full bath with granite-topped vanity, updated fixtures, and a tub shower combo.

A masterfully realized remodel has infused this beautiful property with a thoroughly modern vintage look, in turn creating the perfect place to enjoy lagoon-side tranquility and corner lot privacy. It’s almost hard to believe it’s all just a few steps away from the excitement of South Beach Marina.
