This is a magnificent property on a one-of-a-kind corner lot in the quaint 30-A community of WaterColor in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. With simple body massing, roof forms, and exterior details, the home is truly exemplary of the typical WaterColor home, which is based on the traditional Southern architecture vernacular that is found in the Florida panhandle. The thoughtful positioning of the house, carriage house, and exterior private spaces, is a purposeful response to the lot location within the neighborhood, which augments the character of the streetscape and surrounding homes. Despite its modest size, this home commands a large estate presence on the site. The open floor plan is airy yet cozy, with a logical and efficient circulation flow that deftly maximizes space. This plan was so well received that it was chosen as a go-to plan by a half-dozen developer-contractors for years to follow.
