Originally built in
1994, when Charles
Alexander and his
partner bought the
home in early 2018, they
put their own mark on
things, swapping out
pale, neutral beiges that
swept though its rooms
for a more contrasting,
much more formal look
that would suit their tastes—though they seem to share the former
owner’s love of all things cinematic, which plays out in their very own
movie theater complete with a massive screen, snack bar area, and
seating enough for ten. “The theater room is one of our favorite places
in our home,” says Alexander, a former native of New Orleans who
spends his days working in pharmaceutical sales, while his partner is
an entrepreneur.
Making further changes by renovating the pool and backyard, the
couple now have a home whose every inch is very much suited to
their lifestyle and their style; and they have the perfect location to
appreciate it all, set mere steps away from their private dock out on
the lake and a view of the lush greenery of the fairway. “The location
speaks for itself, as Burnt Pine is one of the premier neighborhoods
in Northwest Florida and offers a true golf cart lifestyle that really
appeals to us,” says Alexander of why the home was such a find.
And whether they’re hosting a dinner party for their nearest and
dearest or simply relaxing after a hard day at work, this is truly a
home that welcomes them in, one where they can appreciate life and
all it has to offer, from one moment to the next.
