Welcome to ''Contentment,'' an architectural statement home on the shores of Lake Powell at 826 N Walton Lakeshore Drive. Custom-designed over several years by architect Frank Greene, former Town Architect for Rosemary Beach, and completed in 2018, this three-story residence was conceived to maximize light, air, and space while blending coastal lake living with a refined industrial aesthetic. The home takes its name from the entry sculpture created by a local Inlet Beach artist.
Inside, an open-concept floor plan unfolds beneath soaring ceilings accented by exposed wood and metal trim and painted floors with a well-worn patina that evokes urban-warehouse warmth. A custom three-story open stairway - handcrafted from the same structural beams that support the house - serves as a sculptural centerpiece, and four oversized pendants retrofitted from industrial highway mast lights anchor the main living space. A wood-burning fireplace with natural gas starter adds ambiance on cooler evenings.
The chef's kitchen is purpose-built for cooking: custom cabinetry with furniture-style bases, natural quartzite countertops, a raised island for ergonomic prep, dedicated knife and spice drawers, and a separate pantry/laundry room. Appliances include a new refrigerator/freezer, gas cooktop with downdraft vent, built-in oven, microwave, and a lower-level refrigerator/freezer.
The entire upper level is devoted to a private primary suite, opening to its own deck overlooking the lake. Each bath features an art-tile installation that nods to celebrated graphic and wildlife artist Charley Harper, paired with signature glass-block showers. A lower-level safe room/storage area, plus generous attic and crawl space, provide exceptional storage throughout.
While currently designed as a one bedroom primary residence, the property is positioned to be re-imagined into a 3 bedroom family home with minimal adjustments as depicted in images created.
Outdoor living flows across three levels: a ground-level patio leading down a path to the private dock, a main-level screened porch, and the primary-suite deck above. The newly resurfaced dock offers social space and an outdoor hot/cold shower, a 5,000-lb. boat lift with a custom heavy-duty aluminum-framed canvas canopy, and a Seahorse-brand elevated double-kayak lift.
Additional appointments include impact-rated windows and doors throughout, a natural gas whole-house generator, a large Browning safe, and low-maintenance landscaping with native plants, ground cover, and natural rock. The covered front porch is accented by custom Rookwood tile wall art.
A rare opportunity to own a true custom, architect-designed lakefront home with direct water access on Lake Powell.
