A one-minute walk to Sandestin's Marina, a world-class tennis facility, the iconic Marina Bar, and Baytowne's dining and entertainment district. This is your one and only opportunity to own an impressive property vested in the Emerald Coast's most coveted recreational golf/tennis community.In 2022, this owner unleashed the character of this one-of-a-kind home. No surface was left untouched and no improvement left unconsidered. Expanding the main living space to a free-flowing design, the fourth bedroom wall was removed, creating an ideal space for entertaining and dining. A concrete column was revealed in the demolition and a soft urban loft concept took shape. Faux glass and metal dividers were added for inspiration, and full home deluxe wide-planked LVP flooring was added in an angular pattern. The reconfigured open-concept floor plan took on its full function and flavor with the addition of a serving bar with remarkable floating shelving, a Liebherr 80 bottle dual zone wine fridge, and 10' of custom display shelving. The addition of an expansive fireplace surround, accompanied by a versatile linear electric fireplace, now takes center stage in the living room. The kitchen was reframed and refinished with a current take and color on Danneker custom cabinetry. Countertops were leveled and replaced with black and white quartz, extending through the backsplash. Wood tones soften contemporary touches in the custom exhaust fan cover and dining bar kick-plate. Sonos in-ceiling speakers were added, ready for sultry blues or rock n' roll rhythms. All black metal doors lead to the great outdoors. Your private yard includes grilling and a sunset deck where all gatherings begin and end. The main covered patio is expansive and two additional private patios enjoy electronically controllable screens. Down the storage-rich, master-suite corridor, the newly configured powder room is designed for lasting impressions. Draping, hanging light fixtures are softly present over floating custom cabinetry with black stone counters and a rectangular low-profile sink. Enter master suite with its complete privacy and amazing closets. A commissioned 6' sliding mirrored and metal barn door covers a former shower to reveal a newly created two tiered closet at entry. Another custom closet greets you to the left, just inside the fully renovated master bath. Note the new cabinetry, counters, shower, hardware and lighting. Don't miss the commissioned European manufactured, heat-retaining soaking tub highlighted by a full-wall city-inspired tile scape. Enter the softly-lit master bedroom with novel built-ins and designer lighting. Electronic shades retract for water views straight from your bed. The home's north corridor incorporates additional closet space, a laundry room, and two large bedroom en-suites with fully renovated bathrooms. One bedroom is currently used as an office with custom built-ins and will be converted back to a bedroom. Designer lighting by RH, Kelly Wearstler, Visual Comfort, and Curry and Company compliment memorable interiors throughout. No detail was overlooked in bringing this impressive home beyond current. Designed as a forever home, it's your good fortune that the forever home can be yours.
