Stunning Gulf views without Gulf-front taxes. This beautifully designed contemporary home in the exclusive, private Carlouel neighborhood delivers the best of both worlds: sweeping water views and a quiet, secluded setting just steps from your own private gated beach access. Built to the latest hurricane and flood standards with impact-rated windows and doors throughout, the home features reverse living so the main living areas and primary suite sit upstairs for maximum views and light. Soaring vaulted ceilings with handcrafted island-style wood beams, and custom millwork create an elegant yet relaxed coastal atmosphere. The chef’s kitchen is bright and expansive, complete with honed black granite, double Sub-Zero refrigeration, Wolf wall ovens, and a large farmhouse sink. Every guest bedroom has its own en-suite bath and generous closet space; while the primary suite offers double walk-in closets, dual vanities, and a deep soaker tub flooded with natural light and gulf views. An oversized garage, tons of interior storage rooms, and the elevator can be found on the first floor. Outside, the spacious backyard is a true private oasis: saltwater pool and spa, large covered entertaining area, and multiple balconies perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets. Just a 5-minute walk to the exclusive Carlouel Yacht Club (currently undergoing a $45 million transformation) and seconds from the gated beach path, this home puts you minutes from Clearwater Beach’s restaurants, shops, marina, and world-class attractions—without ever feeling crowded. Sophisticated coastal living at its finest.
