320 Deerfield Drive, Destin

Tucked away on a generous 0.44-acre lot in a cul-de-sac location, this secluded custom-built ranch home has many desirable features. A generous mansard screens the heated saltwater pool and hot tub and the pool house serves as a well-appointed guest cottage. Private yards to both front and rear have mature landscaping that shelters the home from public view, creating a peaceful green retreat that deserves closer inspection. The glazed entrance has tile floors leading into an expansive great room that can easily accommodate large social gatherings. Gleaming maple hardwood floors and soaring double trayed ceilings provide impressive structure while the dual aspect fireplace adds a warm focal point to both the dining room and sitting area. Tucked out of sight is a fabulous social kitchenwith heaps of storage and endless granite countertops. A dining island, fully shelved pantry and laundry room use the generous space that seamlessly flows into a well-lit breakfast room. Pause to pour drinks at the bar before heading out through double doors to the shady screened terrace. A stroll around the yard reveals a flowing river rock stream and waterfalls providing restful background noise as you relax around the fire pit toasting s'mores. The remainder of the yard is easy to maintain with mature plants, flowering shrubs and two artificial turf lawns. The separate pool house is furnished as a studio for guests complete with bathroom, large closet and kitchenette. Two more bedrooms are located in the main house along with the master suite, which also has stunning tray ceilings and a feature fireplace. The master walk-in closet with divided his/her sides is complemented by a sumptuous master bathroom with a large whirlpool tub and travertine shower. A double garage with built-in storage provides ample space for parking or using as a workshop. Recent updates to this one-of-a-kind home include a new roof in 2024, copper gutters and a whole-house generator for added peace of mind. Despite the quiet Windsor Forest location, this beautiful residence is located in the heart of Destin, minutes from Destin Elementary School, Harborwalk Village, Big Kahuna Water Park and Destin Executive Airport.
