Timeless elegance on the bay behind the gates of prestigious Regatta Bay Golf and Yacht Club. This enchanting sanctuary sits surrounded by lush, mature landscaping, perched over 108' of water frontage with endless bay views. Remarkable in detail with deep porches and graceful design, it exudes a sense of grandeur while embracing impeccable craftsmanship and tranquil comfort. Reminiscent of Louisiana low-country homes, Prescott Architects' raised design highlights water vistas from every vantage point. A rare combination of warmth and space, it measures over 6000 square feet in heated space with over 1000 square feet of porches. Enter a commanding façade to a grand entry which reveals impeccable inlaid marble flooring joined by immaculate hardwoods. Substantial 10" layered crown molding, and 10' high ceilings complete the space. Arched, paned windows frame memorable sunsets and further enhance the remarkable design. Living, dining, and sunlit parlor flow seamlessly and serve as family's central gathering space and an entertainer's delight. The gourmet kitchen with prep island, serving bar, and breakfast area, boasts all white cabinetry, a separate wet-bar, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking gas range, and enjoys its own water views. An elevator conveniently services two of the homes floors and is flanked by a private powder room and additional storage. The main floor includes a bay front primary bedroom suite with its own cozy fireplace, dual vanity bath and a free-standing brass accented soaking tub with separate shower. The main floor is completed by a formal dining room and two additional bedrooms with a shared connected bath. Stroll upstairs for fun and games. The recreation room/library leads to its own private balcony through sliding full-wall glass doors. Spacious enough for a pool table and a crowd, it serves as the party spot but is secluded enough for a reading room. A full bath and heated and cooled storage area completes the space. First floor, a highly sought after and secluded guest suite with a kitchenette and private entry provides quiet and comfort for guests or extended family members. A full bath is attached to this suite, which also leads to the pool area. Downstairs is complete with laundry, two additional bedrooms and another full bath. The infinity pool and hot tub are classic in lines and timeless in detail. Recently redecked and measuring 30'X18', it plays a central role in the home's fun and allure. Mature landscaping leads to a seawall and to an extra long 160' dock with covered boat lift. The 3-car garage affords extensive space for vehicles and storage needs. This exceptional estate offers a lifestyle of grandeur in which every detail has been thoughtfully considered to create a haven of comfort and tranquility. Experience the enchantment where refined living meets natural beauty and indulge in an extraordinary retreat. Regatta Bay is a guard gated community boasting the Regatta Bay championship golf course, including the clubhouse and restaurant, tennis and pickle ball courts, and a community pool. A golf cart ride to the Legendary Marina and Yacht Club, Lulu's bayside restaurant, and the area's best shopping and dining, including Whole Foods and Destin Commons, it is Destin's most convenient location.
