Deeded to water’s edge, meticulous construction, "smart home” features, and year-round outdoor living make this an exceptional opportunity. South facing, this one-of-a-kind home offers uninterrupted 180-degree views to Destin and Panama City Beach.
A whimsical entry door opens onto a sunlight-filled main floor highlighted by a grand staircase. This exquisitely fully-furnished masterpiece accentuates a light, bright interior while hardwood flooring and wood beams bring warmth throughout the living and bedroom spaces. Indoor and outdoor spaces are seamlessly joined by stone flooring. Four floors, five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths are all easily accessed by elevator. The Dawn Thurber design flows effortlessly from one space to the next, providing a sense of peaceful sanctuary.
