Sunset Beach’s iconic “Glass Block Home,” masterfully envisioned by acclaimed architect Daniel Thayer Dawson, is now available—presenting a rare opportunity to own one of Florida’s West Coast’s most architecturally distinctive residences. Perfectly positioned along the pristine shores of the Gulf of Mexico, this striking three-story contemporary beachfront retreat showcases dramatic 20-foot floor-to-ceiling windows, blending sleek modern design with effortless coastal sophistication.
Inside, the home offers a seamless balance of form and function. The soaring glass walls in the living room flood the interior with natural light while framing breathtaking panoramic views of turquoise waters and unforgettable Gulf sunsets. An open-concept layout enhances the sense of space and flow, creating an inviting atmosphere ideal for both everyday living and elegant entertaining.
The chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a state-of-the-art induction cooktop, custom cabinetry, and counter seating for four—perfect for casual dining or gathering with guests. The adjacent living area, defined by its 20-foot ceilings and refined designer finishes, provides a stunning yet comfortable setting for hosting or relaxing.
The primary suite serves as a tranquil sanctuary, offering sweeping water views and direct access to a private porch—an ideal place to unwind while watching the sunset or moonlight dance across the Gulf. The spa-inspired ensuite bath features a walk-in shower and a calming, modern aesthetic.
A dramatic floating glass walkway leads to the third floor, where a guest bedroom enjoys its own spectacular beach views. An additional bedroom is also located on this level. Each guest suite is designed for comfort and privacy, complete with its own ensuite bath and private porch overlooking the water.
Outdoors, the home transforms into a private beachfront oasis. Multiple expansive decks with custom glass railings provide uninterrupted views, creating the perfect setting for sunbathing, entertaining, or dining under the stars. With direct beach access, every day feels like a getaway.
Enhancing both convenience and luxury, a striking glass elevator connects all three levels of the home. The ground floor features a freshly updated two-car garage with a new commercial-grade epoxy finish, and ample storage room as well. A rear garage exit opens to a covered lanai with direct beach access, along with a spiral staircase leading to the main living areas.
Just a short one-minute walk along the sand brings you to the famous beachfront destination of Caddy’s and the lively and equally famous Ka’Tiki Bar & Gril.
