Built to last.....Stay home if a hurricane hits...No Kidding!!! This home has concrete walls...concrete floors...Even concrete decks that are 18 feet off the ground. You have never...ever seen a home built as solid as this one. The walls are 12 inches thick!...6 inches of concrete 5 inches of foam insulation plus sheet rock and fiber/cement, hardee panel siding. Both the attic and under the first living level floor have 4 inches of sprayed foam insulation...It insulates just like an ice chest or refrigerator!!! (Sprayed foam insulation is 3 times the price of traditional insulation) The home is so well insulated that even the attic is only 6-10 degrees hotter than the interior of the home!!! All floors are 4 inch reinforced concrete on a Hambro structural steel flooring system. The home is elevated with the first floor 20 feet above sea level...The ground level garage area (Not counted in the square footage) is over 2,400 sq. ft. and has no interior columns!!! It's one gigantic "man cave". although the garage is not counted in the homes square footage it could easily be used as additional living or work space...It has a 10 foot high finished ceiling...Windows, Doors and even an elevator...The reason there is no interior columns is that the home has custom designed 39 foot structural steel beams that traverse the entire width of the home. The garage's height and size allows you to store your boat and can accommodate up to 8 vehicles...It was designed and built to be very functional for an active family or a guy with lots of "stuff". The garage is fully insulted so if you added a $5,000 HVAC system you could effectively increase the overall heated and air conditioned square footage to over 6,700!!! When you drive into your garage and park your car you can access the home either via the stairs or a 950lb capacity elevator. Simply remove your groceries from your vehicle and place them into a cart with wheels and enter the elevator to access either then first or second levels of the home...So with the elevator you don't have the excuse that there are too many stairs...(Men, don't let your wife keep you from having your world class "man cave" simply because she doesn't want to climb stairs!!!) The elevator is hydraulic and is absolutely safe for kids and adults...It has a fail safe operating system. When you open the elevator door on the first floor living level you will exit into a large laundry room that adjoins the kitchen. You will be impressed as you enter the impressive kitchen that is equipped with a 6 burner gas range...Double wall oven...Stainless steel appliances...Granite counters and a chef friendly 5ft x 9 ft granite island that contains under neath storage. Adjoining the kitchen is an entertainment/living area with custom built cabinets on both sides of the vented gas fireplace. 2 bedrooms are on the first floor including the master with large master bath with natural stone tile...Glass shower...with natural stone duel sink.
