Yellow Alaskan cedar, copper roof accents and gutters, gambrel rooflines, stonework and Ipe decking establish the exterior.

A large center island anchors the kitchen, complemented by extensive cabinetry, integrated refrigeration and a separate pantry area. The living room features a gas fireplace with tile surround and illuminated built-ins, while multiple glass doors extend the space to a covered oceanfront deck with built-in grill, dining and lounge areas. An arched teak-and-holly ceiling defines the hallway, which passes the four-stop elevator on the way to the powder room and two ensuite bedrooms, including a junior primary suite. The ground level offers an ocean-facing family room, ensuite guest bedroom with walk-in closet, powder room, dedicated fitness room, and a generous laundry and mudroom with extensive storage. Upstairs, a custom railing overlooks the main living area. The primary suite features a marble-finished bath with gold-toned fixtures and wide sliding doors that open to a private oceanfront deck and frame the sunrise over the Atlantic. An additional ensuite bedroom and office/flex space complete the upper level. Outside, private dune access leads directly to the beach. Nestled between the house and dune, the oversized L-shaped heated saltwater gunite pool with travertine surround creates an exceptionally private outdoor setting, complemented by mature landscaping, an outdoor shower, covered patio areas and a hanging swing sofa overlooking the pool. The Atlantic provides the backdrop throughout. At 339 E Atlantic Blvd, the setting, architecture and craftsmanship come together in a rare Gardens beachfront property designed around its exceptional oceanfront site.
