Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac behind a private security gate in the golf-cart-friendly Glades subdivision, this exceptional custom-built home with a screened-in pool offers the perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and coastal convenience in the heart of Panama City Beach. Just one mile from the pristine white-sand beaches and literally steps from the popular Duplin Winery on Back Beach Road (Route 98), this beautifully renovated residence features an inviting open floor plan that seamlessly blends living, dining, kitchen, and pool areas. The spacious living room impresses with graceful decorative arches, rich crown molding, a striking gas fireplace, upgraded tile plank flooring, and a new oversized ceiling fan. Generous skylights flood the home with natural light, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout. The updated kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring sleek modern granite countertops, a gas stove, an oversized sink, and contemporary fixtures. Just inside the sliding glass doors, a convenient wet bar is perfectly positioned for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. Step outside to your private oasis: a sparkling chlorinated pool with a newly resurfaced finish (2022) and an expanded, re-screened deck (2024) that provides year-round privacy and comfort. The primary bedroom opens directly to the pool area through its own sliding glass door and features an elegant tray ceiling with crown molding. The renovated master bathroom is a true sanctuary, complete with a large tiled shower, a luxurious soaking tub, and a walk-in closet. Additional thoughtful upgrades include a two-car garage with a handy workbench and a tankless water heater for endless hot water. A small HOA fee of $1750 per year covers trash, all common-area landscaping, and maintenance for the lift station, gate, and street. This is a rare opportunity to own a true Florida dream home in one of Panama City Beach's most convenient and desirable locations. Come and see!
