“Top Shelf” - 104 Village Way, Carillon Beach, Florida
3br, 3.5ba, sleeps 13, pool, gulf view |
"Top Shelf" was singled out by Coastal Living Magazine to be its Idea House in Carillon Beach, and it was featured in a whopping 40-page spread in Coastal Living. Additionally, this home was the former second home of Major League Baseball player and Atlanta Braves standout Brett Butler. And to say this three-bedroom+ home equals Carillon Beach's overall comeliness would be a sort of grotesque understatement. First of all, it's a physically stunning thing - with its five porches, front and rear decks, living-room fireplace (operated by a light switch), 10-foot ceilings, transom windows, second-story awning (if the wall-mounted anemometer registers too high a wind-speed, it automatically signals the thing to retract), third-story tower with clouds painted on the ceiling, immaculate landscaping, granite countertops, marble flooring top-of-the-line brushed-stainless appliances - not to mention all the Hemingwayesque furniture (oversized, with lots of leather and dark woods) and original art spread throughout the place. But furthermore, the house is just sort of eminently livable, possibly because it blends - according to the architect who designed it - the three basic principles of harmony (classicism, rationalism and romanticism), which, of course, are designed to be felt as much as perceived.
