With 2,568 square feet of conditioned living space, 4 bedrooms, and 3.5 bathrooms, the Wave Crest is a custom evolution of Affinity by Vantem’s Paradise Pointe plan. Specifically designed by Seasafe Homes for the waterfront of Indian Rocks Beach, Florida, the home was engineered to exceed FEMA elevation standards, offering a sophisticated solution for luxury living in high-velocity storm zones.

Inside, the home is designed with an inviting, open-concept layout that prioritizes height and light. Soaring 9’6” ceilings and 8-foot interior doors create an expansive atmosphere, while detailed coastal trim and custom tilework throughout the bathrooms provide a refined, high-end finish. The chef’s kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring 42-inch shaker cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, and premium quartz countertops designed for large family gatherings.

Built for ultimate durability and coastal resilience, the Wave Crest features a high-performance exterior envelope. The home is wrapped in Hardie cement board siding and topped with a standing-seam metal roof, complemented by hurricane-rated impact windows and doors. With an additional 540 square feet of covered composite decking, the design seamlessly blends outdoor entertaining with the security of a precision-engineered structure.

Featured on HGTV’s 100 Day Dream Home in October 2025, the Wave Crest showcases how modular construction delivers personalized design and lasting quality with unmatched speed. Key features of this spotlight include:

• Storm-Ready Engineering: Elevated to meet strict FEMA standards, providing peace of mind and long-term protection against storm surge and coastal weather events.
• Signature Coastal Aesthetic: A perfect blend of "coastal charm" and rugged durability, utilizing materials like composite decking and impact-rated glazing that require minimal maintenance in salt-air environments.
• Expansive Outdoor Living: Over 500 square feet of integrated covered decks designed to maximize waterfront views and provide "breezy" transition spaces for indoor-outdoor entertaining.
• High-Volume Interiors: The use of 9’6” ceilings and oversized interior doors removes the "standard" feel of traditional construction, delivering a custom luxury volume.
• Precision Manufacturing: Built at the Vantem Lakeland plant in June 2025 and completed on-site by fall, the project demonstrates a significantly compressed timeline compared to traditional site-built coastal homes.
• Modern Gourmet Kitchen: Equipped with custom-lit shaker cabinetry and expansive quartz surfaces, the kitchen is designed for both daily function and aesthetic appeal.

From its origins as a response to a devastating storm loss to its rapid completion, the Wave Crest stands as a testament to modular flexibility. It is the ideal "forever home" for those seeking a beautiful, durable sanctuary that refuses to compromise on style or safety.
