A $10M Florida Beach Home Redefines Luxury Within Strict Design Rules
A striking four-storey home in Alys Beach, Florida, has hit the market for nearly $10 million. Named One More Day, the property blends modern design with the strict architectural rules of this exclusive coastal community. Its white masonry exterior and hidden details set it apart from typical beachfront houses.
The 3,700-square-foot home sits just a block and a half from the Gulf of Mexico. Designed by Khoury Vogt Architects, led by Alys Beach Town Architect Marieanne Khoury, it follows the enclave’s rigid guidelines—all structures must use masonry and feature entirely white facades. Approval for designs is mandatory before construction can begin.
Inside, the main level opens fully to a limestone courtyard via large sliding doors. Water features and a negative-edge pool create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The upper floors prioritise outdoor living, culminating in a sky terrace with sweeping views of Alys Beach. With four bedrooms and six bathrooms, the house includes several concealed architectural elements. These subtle design choices add to its exclusivity while maintaining the community’s signature aesthetic.
The listing reflects the rising demand for high-end properties in Florida’s master-planned coastal communities. One More Day combines strict adherence to local design codes with luxurious features, catering to buyers seeking both prestige and proximity to the Gulf. The $10 million price tag underscores the value placed on such carefully controlled environments.
