Set on a large, fenced and remarkably private bayfront lot, this five-bedroom residence captures the kind of waterfront living that rarely comes to market. With sweeping bay views from nearly every room, a substantial dock setup built for serious boating and a resort-style outdoor area designed for long afternoons and lively evenings alike, the property offers both presence and performance in equal measure. Inside, the home feels open, bright and thoughtfully tailored throughout. Expansive windows pull the water into the living spaces, while travertine flooring, custom light fixtures, custom-made window treatments and finely crafted cabinetry, built-ins and woodwork add warmth and polish. The kitchen is generously scaled for entertaining with a massive breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances and exceptional cabinet storage. Just beyond, the main living area opens to the outdoor patio where the pool, spa, outdoor kitchen and fireplace create a natural extension of the home. The primary suite is privately positioned on the main level and features bay views along with dual vanities, an oversized walk-in shower and a separate soaking tub. Upstairs, a sitting area opens to a balcony and leads to a flexible bunkroom or bedroom with wet bar, plus three additional guest bedrooms. One includes an attached bunkroom and full bath, while the others are arranged in a Jack-and-Jill configuration. For boating enthusiasts, the waterfront improvements are a standout: a newer 50-foot dock with three boat slips, including one covered slip, two boat lifts sized for approximately 50-foot and 30-foot vessels, plus two personal watercraft lifts. A concrete seawall with limestone riprap adds another layer of peace of mind. The home is equally impressive behind the scenes with a complete audio, video and lighting automation system, app-controlled lighting and TVs, indoor and outdoor audio, eight security cameras, Daikin VRV multi-split AC systems, large tankless water heaters with a continuous recirculating loop, four outdoor Big Ass Fans, gutters, a custom power gate, custom metal fencing and railings, plus extensive landscaping enhanced by dramatic night scaping. Life here places you within easy reach of all that Destin is known for -- from its sugar-white beaches and clear emerald waters to world-class boating, fishing, and championship golf. Dining, shopping, and entertainment are equally abundant, with everything from waterfront restaurants and marinas to upscale retail and local favorites just a short drive away. This is a bayfront property that understands exactly what luxury on the water should look like.
