"Design was the main ingredient for the sale of this home," says agent Sue Johnson. Thoroughly renovated by the Environmental Design Group Home Inc. and Vintage Development Corp. this five-bedroom house has three levels above ground and is a unique, "cross between traditional and contemporary," says Ms. Johnson. It aims to represent informal sophistication with large rooms, state of the art appliances and fixtures, which are "relaxed" by the clean lines, and function of the design.
The house has a gourmet kitchen, library, walk-out basement to the pool, patio and landscaped yard, which includes waterfalls and a view of the Gulf Islands, and seven bathrooms, a games room, nanny suite and wine cellar.
The home's 5,836 sq. ft. of living space was carefully staged for sale. "With such grand spaces, it was just too hard to visualize each room without a three dimensional concept," says Ms. Johnson. By matching the homes overtones of casual elegance with top-of-the-line furnishings, potential buyers could visualize themselves in their new home, leading to a quick sale.
