Architect-Designed, Engineer-Built Coastal Fortress - A Rare Custom MasterpieceSeller offering $20K use as you choose!No expense was spared in the design and construction of this one-of-a-kind custom home--a true labor of love from the ground up. With over 600 bonus square feet not counted in the total, this architectural gem was built by the owner, a Robotics Engineer who served as Architect and General Contractor. This is not your standard builder-grade home--it's a meticulously crafted residence built with passion, precision, and purpose.One of the key design intentions was resilience, with the entire home engineered to withstand a Category 5 hurricane using only the highest-grade materials. From the sealed, insulated, and air-controlled crawl space to the 50-year architectural shingles and spray-foam fortified roof insulation, every detail is built for durability and comfort.Inside, enjoy three programmable climate zones powered by two dual-source HVAC units (automatically switching between electric and gas). The chef's kitchen boasts 32 feet of granite countertops, gas stovetop, electric convection oven, built-in microwave, paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator, paneled dishwasher, and bar fridge--beautifully integrated into custom cabinetry.The formal dining room is accented with hardwood flooring and a custom tile inlay, while tile continues through the kitchen, pantry, laundry room, and bathrooms. The living room includes two large Pella windows with built-in blinds, a stylish fireplace with rear game room heating, and in-wall conduit for clean media cable management.The bathrooms are thoughtfully designed with fully tiled, doorless showers (no glass to clean), matching tile floors, and a guest bath complete with a jacuzzi tub, dual sinks, and a stunning stained-glass window.The expansive game room and adjacent office offer ample space for pool, ping pong, shuffleboard, slot machines, or a private retreat. And that's just the beginning..
