7 AVENUE DE LA MER 503 There’s a certain feeling you get when driving home to Hammock Dunes—the traffic thins, the air feels lighter, and everything slows down in the best possible way. The drive itself is part of the experience: navigating through the sleepy oak canopies, crossing over the glistening Intracoastal, passing manicured fairways and coastal landscapes, and entering the area's most exclusive gated oceanfront enclave. At Portofino, that feeling continues—only now, it’s paired with the Atlantic stretching endlessly in front of you. Residence 503 is not your typical condo. It lives like a private oceanfront home. Step off the private elevator directly into your own foyer, and the tone is immediately set: secure, quiet, and intentionally designed for privacy. No shared hallways. No passing neighbors. Just your space, your view, your rhythm. Spanning 2, 390 square feet under air, this three-bedroom, three-bath residence is generously scaled, thoughtfully laid out, and filled with natural light. The interiors are coastal without trying too hard—clean lines, warm materials, and an easy elegance that lets the ocean remain the star of the show. The living areas unfold effortlessly, offering multiple spaces to relax, gather, and entertain. A spacious main living room opens to the oceanfront balcony through expansive glass doors, blurring the line between indoors and out. The living room is anchored by a fireplace—adds depth and flexibility, perfect for evening conversations, reading, or simply watching the light change over the water. The kitchen is open and inviting. Warm wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, and generous prep space make it equally suited for casual mornings or hosting friends after a day on the beach. Bar seating connects the kitchen seamlessly to the dining area, where tray ceilings and statement lighting elevate everyday meals into something a little more special.The oversized balcony is where mornings start with coffee and sunrise, afternoons drift by with sea breezes, and evenings end to the sound of waves below. From here, you overlook the rare cinnamon-colored coquina sand beaches, a natural feature that sets this shoreline apart from anywhere else in Florida. The beaches here are uncrowded, peaceful, and beautifully preserved—more private retreat than tourist destination. The primary suite is exactly what you’d expect from a residence of this caliber. Wake up to direct ocean views, step out onto the balcony from your bedroom, and retreat into a spa-like en-suite bath complete with a soaking tub, dual vanities, expansive mirrors, and a calming coastal palette. It’s private, serene, and intentionally indulgent—without ever feeling overdone. The additional bedrooms and baths are equally well-appointed, offering comfort and privacy for guests or family while maintaining the home’s cohesive, relaxed sophistication. What truly sets this home apart, though, is the lifestyle. Hammock Dunes is known for its world-class oceanfront golf courses, quiet streets, and a sense of space that’s becoming increasingly rare along Florida’s coast. This is a place for buyers who appreciate privacy over popularity, quality over flash, and the luxury of not being rushed. Oceanfront. Gated. Private elevator entry. Expansive living spaces. A coastline that still feels untouched. This isn’t just a condo—it’s a very specific kind of coastal living. And once you experience it, it’s hard to imagine anything else.
