Elysee Retreat is a sparkling, rare jewel of a home— luxurious yet laid-back, elegant yet completely comfortable, and perfectly placed in an exclusive gated community in the heart of Seacrest Beach. The front facade of Elysee Retreat is a treat for the eyes, with pristinely manicured landscaping, swaying palm trees, and a stunning Mediterranean-inspired design. Inside, the entire home has been expertly curated by renowned Atlanta-based designer Melanie Turner. Ms. Turner is known for being inspired by high fashion balanced with soothing, natural tones. She believes in surrounding her clients with beauty— and nowhere is that more apparent than at Elysee Retreat, where you’ll find simple, stunning beauty around every corner. In the living area, crisp white walls are offset with rustic, exposed wood beams and gleaming oak floors. Two plush sofas provide plenty of places to sink down and relax with a great book or movie. The elegantly arched windows and glass doors allow the natural Florida sunshine to flood the space with light. Around the corner is another living space with tons of additional seating. In the kitchen, a totally unique, bespoke banquette dining area features a cream sofa surrounded by slabs of gleaming gray and white marble. The luxe Gaggenau appliances blend seamlessly with the sleek, Italian-made cabinets and create a clean palette. Nearby, an enormous, live-edge wood dining table has formal seating for ten. On the second floor, there are three spacious master suites that each include a sumptuous king-size bed set into a custom upholstered bed frame. Each of the three suites has its own private, spa-like bathroom. The grand master suite has a separate soaking tub, step-in shower, and double vanity. The other two bathrooms have a unique, curved, marble vanity and subway-tiled showers. On the third level are two more private bedrooms with tons of flexible sleeping space and a shared full bathroom. Back on the ground level, the arched French doors swing open wide to reveal a brilliant blue swimming pool surrounded by stone pavers and bright green grass. An outdoor lounge area is an ideal spot to relax with a glass of wine while dinner cooks on the grill nearby. Privacy, exclusivity, and total comfort— at the one-of-a-kind Elysee Retreat, you’ll have it all. Deeded beach access makes any trip to the shore effortless and relaxing. You’ll also be about a ten-minute stroll or bike-ride away from all of the dining and shopping of bustling downtown Rosemary Beach. With room for sixteen to spread out and completely relax, Elysee Retreat has space for everyone in your group to enjoy a luxury holiday to the shore.
