Framed by panoramic views of the 17th fairway and the sparkling waters of the bay beyond, this beautifully updated custom residence offers an exceptional setting within Emerald Bay Golf Club. Designed for effortless living and memorable entertaining, the home pairs timeless architectural character with thoughtfully renovated interiors and an outdoor sanctuary that feels worlds away. The main residence welcomes you with soaring 10-ft. ceilings, abundant natural light, and an open floor plan that flows seamlessly from one gathering space to the next. A spacious living room is anchored by a gas fireplace and custom built-in shelving, while the formal dining area connects effortlessly to the chef's kitchen, complete with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a generous breakfast bar, and a butler's pantry for added convenience. French doors extend the living space outdoors to a screened porch and expansive paver patio overlooking the golf course, creating an inviting backdrop for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or alfresco dining. At the center of the home, a private screened courtyard creates a true backyard retreat. The heated pool features a dramatic seven foot waterfall and is complemented by a gas fireplace, outdoor shower, and multiple seating areas, offering exceptional privacy for year round relaxation and entertaining. Separated from the main residence by the courtyard, the carriage house provides outstanding flexibility for guests, extended family, or a private home office. Two generously sized bedrooms, a full bath, French doors, and abundant storage allow visitors to enjoy both comfort and independence. Additional highlights include updated finishes throughout the home, refined architectural details, and a layout that balances elegant entertaining with everyday functionality. Located within the gated Emerald Bay Golf Club community, residents enjoy access to one of the Emerald Coast's premier championship golf courses while remaining just minutes from sugar white beaches, world class boating, waterfront dining, shopping, and all the attractions that make Destin one of northwest Florida's most desirable places to call home.
