Florida Cottage

Currently in framing! April progress photos coming next week. The Darien III by Romair is a custom residence with a detached carriage house, offering 4,775 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 2 half baths, and a 2-car garage, located on a Homesite backing up to vast dry pond area in Powell Landing East at Watersound Origins. The first level is arranged with clearly defined spaces, beginning with a dedicated dining room that includes a built-in wet bar and undercounter wine refrigeration. The kitchen is positioned at the rear of the home, opening directly to the covered porch and summer kitchen, creating a direct connection to the outdoor living areas and pool courtyard . The adjacent living room features a fireplace and 16 foot slider doors that open fully to the exterior, extending the living space outward. Twelve-foot ceilings throughout the main level reinforce the scale of each space without sacrificing proportion. The owner's suite is located on the main level with French doors leading directly to the pool and spa. The bath includes a walk-in shower with upgraded rain fixture shower head and free-standing soaking tub, along with a spacious custom closet designed with a center island for additional storage and organization . Functional spaces are equally considered. The laundry room includes built-in cabinetry, a sink, a dedicated broom closet, and a bench with cubbies for everyday use. Circulation between the garage, mudroom areas, and main living spaces is efficient and separate from guest-facing areas. The second level provides additional bedrooms and a secondary living space, offering separation from the main level while maintaining connection through a central stair hall. Ten-foot ceilings continue throughout the upper level, maintaining consistent volume and scale. Above the garage, the carriage house includes a kitchenette, living area, bedroom, and bath with its own access, suitable for guests or extended stays. The outdoor environment is fully integrated into the plan. A heated saltwater pool and spa with baja deck are set within a paver pool deck and enclosed by fencing, all managed by a WiFi-enabled pool controller. The cabana with fireplace anchors the space, while the dedicated outdoor kitchen connected to the main house is equipped with an Artisan grill with stainless steel doors, U-Line outdoor refrigerator, and sink. Interior finishes include white oak cabinetry with stained overlay throughout, along with upgraded quartz surfaces and upgraded Delta plumbing fixtures. The home is equipped with a Water and Air Wellness Package, including a whole-house water softener, reverse osmosis system, REME Halo air cleaner, and an added integrated leak detection system. Additional features include a tankless water heater and detailed interior trim consistent with the overall architectural design. Estimated completion: 2026 As part of Watersound Origins, often called "A Coastal Village," residents relish abundant amenities like the Village Commons resort-style pool, fitness center, sports courts, miles of nature trails, event lawns, and the Origins Golf Course. Surrounded by towering pines and just minutes from Lake Powell and the beaches of Scenic Highway 30A, this community blends natural beauty with easy access to Inlet Beach, Grayton Beach, and beyond. Upcoming highlights include the 15.5-acre Longleaf Art Park, opening in 2027, featuring cultural and recreational experiences.
