Fairfax and Sammons designed this coastal Colonial residence in 1998 on 2.5 acres directly on the sand in Gulf Stream, where the eastern lawn extends to the dunes with no neighboring structure in the sightline. The compound now encompasses five structures totaling nearly 16,000 square feet following a comprehensive renovation and expansion by contractor Tim Givens.
Fairfax and Sammons designed this coastal Colonial residence in 1998 on 2.5 acres directly on the sand in Gulf Stream, where the eastern lawn extends to the dunes with no neighboring structure in the sightline. The compound now encompasses five structures totaling nearly 16,000 square feet following a comprehensive renovation and expansion by contractor Tim Givens.
Architecture & Construction
The original six-bedroom main house spans approximately 10,000 square feet and retains the coastal Colonial character that Fairfax and Sammons established. Tim Givens executed a complete update of every room in the main house and added four new structures to the property: a two-bedroom guest house of approximately 4,300 square feet, a three-car garage, a fitness center, two guest casitas, and a gate house at the entry.
Infrastructure received a full overhaul. The main electrical service was upgraded, and new systems include whole-house water filtration, Lutron lighting and shades, and a Savant smart home system. Water, gas, fiber internet, septic, security, and landscaping were all updated or replaced. Every door and window across the property was replaced with Tischler und Sohn impact glass.
Interior Sequence
The main house rooms were refreshed throughout with the intent of preserving the coastal Colonial identity of the original design. The home carries ten bedrooms and twelve full baths across the compound's five structures, with the primary residence and guest house accounting for the majority of the living space. The gate house establishes the arrival sequence before the grounds open to the main house and its eastern ocean orientation.
Outdoor Living & Grounds
The 2.5-acre site is defined by a broad green lawn that stretches from the main house's eastern facade to the dune line, with the Atlantic beyond. A full-size heated pool with surrounding deck occupies the grounds, enclosed by new fencing. A gazebo area provides direct beach access down to the sand. The scale of the parcel and the setback from the road create complete visual privacy from every direction.
