| Inspired by the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, this custom home brings the prairie to the beach in a unique departure from the Southern-style homes that adjoin it. The residence was constructed to such exacting standards for its empty-nester clients that parts that were less than perfect were torn up and rebuilt. Consequently, every inch of this house is plumb and level. Multiple cantilevered roofs fool the eye, making this four-level home appear to hug the ground. Garage and storage space dominates the lowest level, and the next floor up is devoted to the secondary bedrooms, a fitness center and a family room. This level also provides access to the pool deck. The home's entertaining areas are one flight up for the best ocean views. The rooms revolve around a central gallery and include a spacious great room, a dining room, a kitchen/dinette, an office, a library and a screened porch. The master suite occupies the uppermost level. A central elevator increases accessibility to all floors. The interior of the home is filled with Prairie-style details, including art glass, horizontal wood banding and a nature-inspired color palette. | |||||
