50 N Sea Garden Street Z14, Alys Beach

Sea Garden Courts, sited just south of the enhanced wetlands on the western side of Alys, are composed of three sets of two 29-foot-wide residences, with pedestrian paths between each. Privacy -- a much desired quality in these homes -- is established in several ways. The entries are separated from the street by tall built-in planters and trellises. These lead to a stair hall that ushers one into the main living floor, elevated half a floor above grade. A simple great room that spans the width of the home and offers a 16-foot tall ceiling lends scale and granderto these urban residences. This great room, composed of a gracious living room and kitchen with an alcove dining area, in turn opens out to a private lushly landscaped walled courtyard with a small dipping pool.
