More about Not the Norm:
With sweeping gulf views and a lavish interior, this home is most definitely "Not the Norm." Complete with guest quarters and parking for 14 vehicles, this 11 bedroom, 9.5 bathroom home is perfect for a family reunion, company retreat, or an elegant getaway from the everyday stress of life. Located in Miramar Beach, Not the Norm is just a 5-minute drive away from the shops and restaurants at Silver Sands Outlet Mall.
Upon entering the home, your eyes will immediately be drawn to the emerald green waters of the Gulf through a wall of windows and glass doors. As you enter the foyer, a beautiful chandelier hangs over a small seating area with a plush sofa and chairs. The kitchen is fully equipped with marble countertops and the finest stainless steel appliances, including a French door refrigerator with two freezer drawers, and a WOLF 4-burner, gas range stove. Enjoy your breakfast with gulf views while sitting at the breakfast table with seating for four, or at the formal dining room table with seating for ten. The living room boasts the best view of the Gulf and includes seating for seven and a 60” Samsung Smart TV.
Take the elevator up to the second floor and you will be invited into the media loft which includes a sleeper sofa, seating for four, and gulf-front balcony access with patio seating. There are five king suites located on this floor alone! Three of these suites come with en-suite bathrooms with stand-alone showers and flat-screen televisions. The other two suites share a bathroom with a tub/shower combo.
Taking up the entire third floor, the master suite is the epitome of luxury. The king bed alone gives the guest a feeling of royalty. Add on the private balcony and gulf views this room provides, and you'll never want to leave! This master suite also houses a master bath, with a prodigious stand-alone shower and a soaking tub with window views of the Gulf.
The home's guest quarters can be entered through the main entrance or the entrance off the covered patio. Decorated with antique travel décor, walking into the guest quarters is like traveling back in time. The first floor of the guest quarters includes a kitchenette with a sink, dishwasher, and refrigerator. The entertainment area boasts a leather sofa, chair, and flat-screen television. This floor also includes a bunk room with a twin-over-full bunk bed with twin trundle and shares a full bath with a walk-in shower in the living area. There is also a king bedroom located on this floor with an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower as well.
The second floor of the guest quarters houses two king suites and a double queen suite. The first king suite includes an en-suite bathroom with a stand-alone shower while the second king suite shares a bathroom with the double queen suite.
The pool area is the best of the best! With an in-pool table and seating, a spa tub, and water features, you are sure to have a blast! It can be heated for an additional charge. The pool overlooks the Gulf of Mexico and includes its own beach access. There is also a covered patio area with seating and a grill.
Who wants a NORMal vacation when you can make it extravagant!
