923 E SCENIC Drive

This unique beachfront luxury property, available now for the first time in decades, offers remarkable flood-free elevation, structural integrity, aesthetic and historical appeal, and livable comfort. Originally built in 1920, the main residence features a concrete stucco exterior, terra cotta hip roof, and steel understructure, with a stucco-and-wrought-iron fence surrounding much of the property. Upstairs, three full bedrooms include recently refreshed en suite baths, while downstairs includes the wood-paneled library, airy sitting room and foyer, formal dining room, newly-remodeled kitchen, cheery sunroom, spacious utility room, and two half baths. Luxury finishings include include flooring of marble tile and clear (top-grade) heart pine timber, plaster mouldings, beautiful staircase woodwork, and exquisite hardware throughout, such as leaded glass doors. Underneath the home, the wine cellar can hold more than 1,200 bottles of wine in chilled comfort. On the west side of the home, a chlorinated, plaster-sided pool is the perfect relaxation spot with views of the beach. A 100KW generator and potable water well can keep you snugly supplied even through outages. Just north of the main home, the gorgeous guest house offers understated luxury throughout. Across the yard, the two-story apartment building features a 3BD/2BA apartment upstairs with all-new windows, plus a workshop downstairs with two single-entry garage doors and plenty of storage. Meanwhile, the pool building offers a perfect studio-style guest space, featuring a kitchenette, slate flooring, and three-quarter bathroom. Lastly, the large workshop features three roll-up doors, a half bath, electrical power, water, and plenty of room for all your toys. Across Scenic Drive, the broad, grassy median provides nearly three-quarters of an acre. In the backyard, another two acres offers a tennis court, live oaks, and sunny lawns, with direct gate access to Second Street.
