Live in luxury on the shores of paradise. Nestled under moss-draped oaks in The Preserve, one of Panama City Beach’s most picturesque gated communities, this dramatic 4 bedroom, 4 full and 3half-bath Arthur Rutenberg home features absolutely everything elegant, gracious, and state-of-the-art in custom home design and appointments. From the moment one steps through the grand entrance, spectacular views abound, and nature compliments lifestyle. A stunning two-story, glass-walled view of the bay, pool, and lanai shapes the first-floor focal point, accented by soaring, crown moulded ceilings and trim custom made by EF San Juan, and a magnificent circular stairway that winds around an impressive tower and connects to a loft that overlooks the living room. Reflecting the Rutenberg philosophy that form follows function, the 8280 sq. feet provide maximum living space. A large walk-in, sunken wet bar serves the living, dining, leisure, and morning rooms. An elevator provides access to the wine “cellar,” as well as to the second floor. The master suite has its own foyer, with a recessed ceiling, decorative art niche, and double-entry doors. Master den and separate retreat areas create an oasis, replete with a sumptuous bath and private courtyard. An additional bedroom, fitness center, and a “safe room,” complete the first floor. A sunken media area and wet bar enhance entertainment in the second-floor recreational area that flows onto a covered lanai and to two more bedrooms, each with private baths, and a shared study/computer nook. Let your own needs define the purpose of the third-floor bonus room, with its panorama of the bay. Light streams through all these window-laden spaces, indoor areas that seamlessly become outdoor areas bathed in coastal sea breezes and landscape. Whether it’s the cypress exterior ceilings and precast columns; 4-car garage with 10-ft.-wide doors; commercial grade seawall with concrete cap; Low E Impact glass; Lutron lighting system that create scenes with touch of a button; high-tech, user-friendly Control4 touch screen home automation audio/video; spray foam insulation; roof decking sprayed with FoamSeal for roof leak protection; Forticel Mold Prevention sprayed on studs and exterior walls for mold prevention; or the pool’s Badju Jet allowing swimmers to swim against current, fountain, and in-floor cleaning, this home has anything you can imagine.
