This Gulf-front home in WaterSound Beach, recently featured in Decor magazine and also featured in the NY magazine The Week, is the 4 year-long collaborative work of Atlanta Architect Kenneth Lynch, local Interior Designer Georgia Carlee & local Builder Mark Breaux.

Beyond the den is a guest suite with private bath & screened porch with access to the boardwalk. The elevator provides convenient access between levels, but casually climbing the staircase from the first level to the second reveals
