Property Description
A rare waterfront retreat where privacy, panoramic bayou views, and timeless Mid-Century Modern architecture come together on 1.5 acres of pristine waterfront. Perfectly nestled among towering trees and fan palms, this exceptional bayou-front home offers a setting that is nearly impossible to replicate. According to the seller, current regulations no longer allow homes to be built this close to the water, preserving the spectacular views that stretch across the entire back of the property. Originally built by local builder Thomas Stoffels (builder of the Donut Hole), this thoughtfully designed home offers approximately 2,750 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, including a private guest or in-law suite that can be separated from the main living area. Stunning bayou views fill the primary bedroom, great room, dining area, and the attached gazebo office/sitting area, creating a seamless connection between the home and its peaceful surroundings. Extensively updated, the home features fresh interior and exterior paint, new LVP flooring, new carpet in two bedrooms, a newly added third full bathroom, second bathroom renovation, new pool screens, new sliding patio doors, a new electric pool heater, new privacy fencing, and an expanded dock with Trex decking and a covered boat lift. Step outside and experience the waterfront lifestyle you've been dreaming of. Launch your paddle board or kayak from your private dock, spend the afternoon fishing, or enjoy an approximately 30-minute boat ride to Destin Harbor. Start your mornings watching dolphins swim by from the screened porch and end your evenings beneath brilliant star-filled skies from your own private retreat. The attached two car garage includes a workbench, utility sink with hot and cold water, and attic storage, the additional single car garage provides abundant storage, shelving, and workshop space. A covered fish-cleaning or gardening station with a working sink adds even more convenience. The property is also zoned for a second story, offering future expansion opportunities on the main home or additional building options on the large piece of land. With deep-water access, exceptional privacy, breathtaking views, and a location that cannot be duplicated, this is a truly one-of-a-kind waterfront property offering a lifestyle as remarkable as the home itself.
