Property Description
Other features include newer LVP flooring throughout the majority of the home, NEW high impact gorgeous glass paneled front doors, NEW fireplace and sprinkler system with new irrigation pump.
Outside, is where this property truly comes to life. The screen-enclosed in-ground pool and spa create a private Bayfront retreat with plenty of room for entertaining, lounging and enjoying Florida's year-round outdoor lifestyle. Beyond the pool, the expansive backyard leads to 113 ft of Bayfront shoreline--imagine stepping outside for an evening by the water and/or adding a dock and having your boat waiting just beyond your backyard.
Beyond its beautiful setting and thoughtful floor plan, the home offers important updates for added peace of mind, including HVAC systems replaced in 2023 and 2025, a 2021 gas water heater, added insulation and newer glass throughout the windows. Solar panels provide an additional advantage, with the current owner reporting a fixed electric payment of approximately $185 per month--representing estimated savings of $400-$500 per month compared with prior electric costs!
The home also benefits from comprehensive Sentricon termite protection by Florida Pest Control with the perimeter professionally trenched & foundation areas drilled & treated, another valuable layer of protection & peace of mind for the next owner.
Combined with the beautifully renovated kitchen, remodeled 2nd bathroom with shared custom shower, newer LVP flooring and new high impact custom front doors, many of the home's significant improvements have already been completed.
Located within the sought-after gated community of Emerald Bay, residents enjoy a beautiful golf-course setting along with tennis, community pool, and clubhouse amenities with a low HOA. Shopping, dining, schools and everything Destin has to offer are just minutes away.
Bayfront mornings. Poolside afternoons. Sunset evenings. 113 feet of waterfront on more than half an acre--right in the heart of Destin. This is more than a home; it's the Destin lifestyle and opportunity that won't last long.
