Welcome to 177 Tidal Bridge Way, a rare coastal gem located in the heart of the exclusive, gated community of WaterSound Beach. Positioned on one of the largest and most private lots in the neighborhood, this architecturally striking Cape Cod-style home is wrapped in natural cedar shingles with a matching cedar shingle roof, evoking the timeless elegance of a classic Hamptons retreat--yet just steps from the sugar-white sands of Florida's Emerald Coast.Built in 2006 by the esteemed Chase Building Group and meticulously maintained by its one and only owner, this four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath residence spans approximately 3,039 square feet and sits on a lushly landscaped corner lot. Mature indigenous oaks and professionally designed gardens frame the home, providing both beauty and privacy. A charming side courtyard features a built-in gas fire pit surrounded by lounge chairs an ideal setting for evening gatherings after a day at the beach. And when you're ready to unwind, the private pool and spa offer a peaceful oasis just outside your door.
Boasting a coveted second-tier location with views of both Camp Creek Lake and the Gulf of Mexico, the home is surrounded by seven fully covered porches including two that are screened offering endless opportunities for outdoor living. Whether enjoying sunrise coffee on the front porch, sunset cocktails on the upper deck, or relaxing by the pool, every space has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate the surrounding natural beauty.
Inside, the home has been completely updated with luxury finishes and custom craftsmanship. The professionally designed kitchen is a true showpiece, with natural marble countertops, bespoke cabinetry handcrafted by local artisan Grimes Cabinets, and top-tier appliances by Thermador and Sub-Zero. A built-in Thermador coffee machine is thoughtfully positioned near the primary suite perfect for a quiet morning ritual.
Both primary suites one on each floor have been reimagined with exquisite Calacatta Gold marble, freestanding soaking tubs, custom vanities, walk-in showers, and Kohler fixtures. Every bath in the home has been professionally remodeled to match the elevated aesthetic. The vaulted great room features exposed natural beams, a gas fireplace with marble surround, and one-of-a-kind custom cabinetry, creating a warm and refined living space ideal for both intimate evenings and entertaining guests.
Function meets form with a spacious paver-covered driveway, an oversized single-car garage with a vaulted ceiling for exceptional storage, and ample guest parking. The home is just a short stroll to WaterSound's private beach access, tranquil coastal dune lake, and the exclusive WaterSound Beach Club. With walkability to all of these prized amenities, it's no exaggeration to say: it's all about the location.
Whether you're seeking a serene primary residence, a luxurious vacation home, or an investment-grade property in one of the Gulf Coast's most desirable communities, 177 Tidal Bridge Way offers the rare combination of privacy, elegance, craftsmanship, and walkable beach lifestyle all behind the gates of WaterSound Beach.
