The quality of this home and the setting are unique, truly a luxury home in an incredible setting. Standing among loblolly pines, the Crescent Palms offers views of the emerald green waters and white sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico through the highest branches of the adjacent pines. Breathtaking is not sufficient; it is a truly unique and remarkable setting for a beach home.
And the house was spectacular, a gem that needed a little polishing to regain its former glory. Having spent my youth working in construction, later becoming a real estate investor, including a 150 year old home in New Orleans' Uptown district, I am familiar with buildings and their construction. The Crescent Palms is well-built, contructed with the excellent materials, finely crafted with attention to detail. This is a superb beach home. From the high ceillings, tavetiine floors, quality windows and doors, transom windows, solid hardwood doors, and vintage glass doorknobs, the materials are substantial and fine quality.
As we came to experience life at Crescent Palms, we realized how truly fortunate we were. The setting is exceptional, and the pace and ambience of the area truly special. It is Florida of long ago, uncrowded, peaceful, awash in natural beauty. Mostly it is the people - friendly, quick to smile, happy to help, relaxed and warm. There aren't many places like it. I hope you find what we have here.
