A waterfront estate designed around the bay
The home is owned by powerboat racer and entrepreneur Ross Romash and Caroline Romash. Chad Carroll of The Carroll Group at Compass is handling the listing. Cody J. Thamann of Thamann Architecture + Design designed the residence, with landscape architecture by Christopher Cawley.
Retractable glass walls on opposite sides of the main living level create a route from the entry courtyard, framed by waterfalls, toward the bay. The ground-floor primary suite also opens onto the pool deck and waterfront. Travertine, lava stone, bronze and teak feature throughout the interiors.
Kitchens, wellness and outdoor living
A green-veined marble island is the focal point of the main kitchen. A separate prep kitchen is concealed behind fluted millwork, while an outdoor kitchen serves the pool terrace. The layout extends the home’s entertaining spaces beyond the main interior rooms and toward the water.
A glass-enclosed wellness room overlooks the bay and includes a gym, sauna and spa. The primary suite’s direct connection to the pool deck adds another indoor-outdoor transition at ground level.
A dedicated gallery for car collectors
The climate-controlled automotive gallery is designed to accommodate as many as 16 vehicles, with a viewing lounge above it. At the water’s edge, a private deep-water dock provides direct access to the bay, complementing the property’s 120 feet of open-bay frontage.
