Some Florida homes are all about modern waterfront living. This one has held on to a little of the past.
Built in 1950, this six-bedroom Ponte Vedra Beach residence embraces its Old Florida roots, with nearly 250 feet of direct ocean frontage and a setting tucked behind the dunes. Now listed for $14.8 million, the more than 4,000-square-foot property offers a rare stretch of coastline with plenty of character.
One of its most distinctive features is a sprawling glass-enclosed atrium, where nearly 40 windows overlook an ornate outdoor fountain. The space brings natural light indoors while maintaining a close connection to the surrounding landscape, giving the home an airy, almost garden-like atmosphere.
Elsewhere, the coastal setting takes center stage. Oceanfront balconies span both levels, opening the home to views of the Atlantic, while two family rooms and six ensuite bedrooms provide plenty of space for gathering.
Outside, the beach feels like an extension of the backyard, with dunes providing a natural buffer from the street and a swimming pool on the opposite side.
With a later addition to its original 1950 structure, the residence offers its next owner the opportunity to preserve its coastal character or introduce a fresh design perspective.
Kim Martin-Fisher and Jennifer Martin Faulkner of Douglas Elliman hold the listing.
