About 517 Emerald Bay

Located near the top of the hill in the coveted community of Emerald Bay, this luxurious retreat reflects the magical merging of inspiration and architecture. Created by Ed Lohrbach, the home was extensively remodeled for modern living while maintaining the charm of the original design. An inviting stone staircase leads to the front of the residence, where bright and airy interiors are highlighted by an open, thoughtful floor plan to maximize the breathtaking, panoramic ocean views. Multiple sets of doors harmoniously blend indoor and outdoor spaces together, allowing a coastal atmosphere to enhance every aspect of this home. The fireplace-warmed living room and formal dining room are conveniently located near the chef’s kitchen, fitted with professional grade appliances, gleaming white cabinets and granite countertops, and oversized center island with prep sink and breakfast bar. The sprawling master retreat includes opulent bathrooms and walk-in closet, with salty sea breezes coming in from the private ocean-view balcony. The lower level of the home is an entertainer’s dream with additional living room, impressive custom walk-in wine storage, and access to the lavish back patio. Gorgeous, award-winning landscaping ensures privacy while maintaining ocean views and surround the tranquil space complete with private spa, outdoor kitchen area, ceiling fans, and fireplace for cooler evenings.
