A private courtyard pool anchors this fully furnished contemporary residence in gated Emerald Waters Village, bringing resort-style outdoor living to the center of the home. Built in 2019 and spanning approximately 3,155 square feet across two levels, the residence offers seven sleeping rooms and four baths, a two-car garage, and accommodations for up to 16 guests. Deeded beach access, easily reached through the footpath and gate from the community to ''Old 98''. Rather than placing the pool behind the house, the architecture wraps around it, with floor-to-ceiling black-framed glass along two sides and a covered loggia on the third. The kitchen, living and dining areas open directly to the courtyard, keeping the water in view throughout much of the main level. The result is a pool that functions as a second living room rather than a separate outdoor amenity. Under the covered loggia, a plank wood ceiling, recessed lighting and ceiling fan create a comfortable gathering space with a mounted television, built-in grill and dining area. Travertine pavers, river-rock borders, mosaic waterline tile and color-changing pool lighting complete the courtyard, extending its use from afternoons by the water to dinner and night swimming. Inside, raised ceilings, hardwood and tile flooring, designer lighting and warm wood accents give the contemporary interiors texture and depth. The kitchen centers on a waterfall-edge island and Thermador appliances, while a linear gas fireplace A private courtyard pool anchors this fully furnished contemporary residence in gated Emerald Waters Village, bringing resort-style outdoor living to the center of the home.
