Description

Come see this beautifully updated custom built lakefront home in the private gated community of Emerald Lakes. You'll find travertine flooring throughout and a unique floorplan with a 3 way split bedroom design and 3 FULL baths. As you enter, the majestic columns draw your eye to the 10 and 12 ft. ceilings. You'll notice many architectural details in this transitional mediterranean modern design that add character to the home such as the beautiful tile and woodwork surrounding the fireplace and the large windows in the living room that give it a bright and airy feel. Enjoy both a formal dining space as well as an eat-in kitchen with gorgeous lake views, granite countertops, penny tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances including a wine cooler and warm wood accents such as open shelving and a beamed ceiling. You can also access the screened side porch to enjoy your morning cup of coffee listening to the soothing fountain and enjoying lake views amid your own tropical paradise. The huge master suite offers a sitting area with windows framing the lake and fountain. You'll love the adjoining master bath complete with a beautiful tiled shower, whirlpool tub and walk-in closet. This unique one of a kind property has been impeccably renovated with an abundance of upgrades including a custom glazed faux finished stamped concrete screened porch, patio and driveway, is wired for a whole house and exterior surround sound system, and a sprinkler system (well) with feeders, drip heads for flower beds and potted plants. The 2 car garage with epoxy finished floor leads into the laundry room complete with washer and dryer. The amenities of Emerald Lakes include a premier community pool, fabulous playground, tennis and basketball courts. Roof was replaced in 2021 and HVAC is 2015. Come take a look at this gorgeous home in a premier Destin location today!
