Florida Lighthouse Home!
Florida Lighthouse Home!
Is there a person alive that hasn't dreamed about what it would be like to live in a lighthouse at least once? We think of sailing ships and battering storms at sea. . . Of a broken mast and a ship damaged beyond control of steering being thrown closer and closer to the rocks; the consistent flash of the lighthouse giving the sailors their last hope of being saved from the sea. Today with modern navagational aids, lighthouses are no longer critical to ships' survival and are being sold for homes. The rate at which they're immediately snapped up shows how many lighthouse affectionados are out there waiting for the next one to become available. The romance of the lighthouse will live long after the last light is extinguished.
For those seeking instant lighthouse gratification, however, there appears to be an interesting solution! On Florida's Gulf coast, this amazing home has its own lighthouse! Lighthouse observation tower, that is. Quite enough lighthouse to fulfill most anyone's fantasies, and face it, wouldn't you rather be all warm and comfy sitting up there sipping wine from the wine cooler and watching fiery sunsets? Rescuing shipwrecked sailors can get a bit messy.
Just like having your own private resort, this 5,068sf home has 5 bedrooms, 7.5 baths, a media room, billiards room and a game room with wet bar. There is a huge pool with a bridge connecting the house patio to the beach-side patio and spa. Most importantly, it sits right on one of the loveliest white sand beaches in the world! Though the house was built in 1949 (testament to the lack of hurricane activity on Florida's Gulf coast), it was designed with today's preference for the open plan with walls of glass for viewing the pleasures of the outdoors. A very livable and entertaining home where you'll love to invite your friends and family. Wonder how many the top of the lighthouse can hold for a sunset celebration?
"Lighthouse" comes with with its own wine cooler topside. Priced at $2.395m.
