Situated within WaterColor's newest--and quickly most coveted--setting, this gracefully designed residence captures the very essence of refined coastal living.There is a quiet confidence to this WaterColor home, the kind that comes from vision carried through without compromise. Never before offered, it arrives fully realized -- an extraordinary collaboration between architect Greg Jazayeri, builder Borges Brooks, and the discerning eye of Kaitlyn Tiller of Kalon Home. The result is a residence that feels at once elevated and deeply livable, where every detail has been considered and nothing left to chance.

Inside, volume and light set the tone. Soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed beams rise more than 20 feet above the main living spaces, creating an airy sense of scale, while .... ... warm hardwoods ground the home in comfort. The open living, dining, and kitchen areas unfold with ease, designed as much for quiet mornings as they are for lively evenings. A Sub-Zero refrigerator and Wolf range anchor the kitchen, complemented by custom Smithart cabinetry and a discreet butler's pantry that brings both function and refinement to entertaining.

The living room flows seamlessly to a screened porch where a second fireplace and outdoor grill extend the experience outdoors, offering a natural gathering place in every season. Nearby, a custom bar invites conversation, while curated furnishings, designer fabrics, and custom drapery throughout the home lend a sense of cohesion and polish that is immediately felt but never overstated.

Each bedroom is appointed as a private suite, offering both comfort and privacy, with oversized closets thoughtfully designed for flexibility -- even a crib when needed. Upstairs, the home takes on a more relaxed rhythm, with two inviting porches and a generous family game room that creates space for connection, retreat, and play. A bunk room with a king bed below adds both charm and versatility for guests of all ages.

Moments of artistry are woven throughout. A Pierre Frey wall covering elevates the powder bath into something memorable, while Schumacher fabrics, Serena and Lily accents, and custom stairwell art contribute to a layered and collected aesthetic. Even the unseen details speak to the home's level of care, including a whole-house water purification system with demineralization at the kitchen faucetl an uncommon feature that reflects a commitment to wellness as much as design.

Set within one of the area's most sought-after settings, the home offers access to an exceptional collection of amenities, including multiple resort-style pools, miles of walking and biking trails, tennis and pickleball courts, a new fitness center underway, and a vibrant mix of shops, dining, and outdoor recreation.

This is a home that doesn't rely on a single moment to impress. Instead, it reveals itself gradually, through craftsmanship, materiality, and an unmistakable sense of intention--an enduring expression of coastal living at its most refined.
