A Minnesota Snowbird couple owned a stunning property on the Florida Gulf, which captured the glorious sunset, from one room in the house- the master bedroom. After years of wanting to renovate this couple decided to overhaul most of the house and in the process add additional outdoor balcony spaces, a bar and a rec-room all on the second floor making it conducive to entertaining without parading company to the master suite! The result is more livable space, and a view of the spectacular setting sun from multiple rooms.

You can see both islands that we built in this image. The focal point of the main cooking island is a 42” Alfresco grill. The second island acts as a bar with an elevated high back. There are no components in the second island. He used a granite countertop and Ipie wood clad over a traditional block structure.

Modern functionality meets rustic charm in this expansive custom home. Featuring a spacious open-concept great room with dark hardwood floors, stone fireplace, and wood finishes throughout.
