"This home is like an Aman resort on the sea, offering high quality, finish, and detail," says KAA Design founder Grant Kirkpatrick of his award-winning work at 308 The Strand. The ultra-custom luxury residence creates a meticulously crafted atmosphere that's centered around beach life. "It's built for the ages--an heirloom to pass to generations." The floorplan reflects the home's lifestyle duality. Sleeping areas are spaced across four levels, with the third floor housing a primary suite and private office, penthouse-style. The main living area is on the uppermost floor, away from the garage and entry. A stylish dining room sits next to the kitchen, with smooth walnut cabinets and a central island topped with Italian marble streaked in gold and gray. The great room, with a glossy Prado Travertine fireplace, becomes one with the terrace when a wall of glass disappears. Joined with the outdoors, the room is warmed by beach rays by day and a firepit at night. Take the elevator to the beach room, level with The Strand, to lounge on the patio with a peaceful sea, sand, and sky view. Step across The Strand and you're on the beach. The home is ideally located, walking distance to downtown restaurants and shops, but far enough from the traffic and activity. Or stay indoors and enjoy the bubbling blue waters of the spool--a hybrid pool and spa. Close the louvered screens for a private experience, or let the glass doors disappear, blending indoors and beachfront, while friends mingle at the bar or in the living room. The first three floors are exceptional, but the lower floor offers world-class extras. This level is dedicated to diversion, with a nine-person movie theater, two wine closets, and a pro gym. The house unites all the different moods of luxurious beach living under its masterfully sculpted roof. OPTIONAL SUMMER RENTAL (3-month minimum).
