Alys Beach Meets the Bay

Posted by Destin Real Estate Sales on Thursday, March 30th, 2017 at 7:59am.

The remarkable architecture found in prestigious Alys Beach along South Walton’s Scenic 30A has inspired the design of a sensational water front home on the bay that borders the extensive Point Washington State Forest. The Dutch Indies Colonial design mirrors what’s found at Alys Beach with bright white stucco walls, soaring stepped roofing eaves, square arched portals and thick concrete shingles. However the location of this stately home offered for sale is at the exclusively gated bay front residential community known as The Estuary in Santa Rosa Beach. The privileged private forested setting on Choctawhatchee Bay includes towering pine trees, magnificent Magnolias and ancient Live Oaks.

169 Ansley Forest

This awe inspiring 5,393 square foot home encompasses five bedrooms with full luxury baths en suite and was constructed in 2016. The classic architectural styling blends seamlessly with elegant contemporary details, worthy of being featured in Architectural Digest. It was created by Regal Stephens Construction, a family operated company that originated in Houston with outstanding custom designed homes and commercial properties. They are now renowned along the coast of Northwest Florida for delivering award winning homes that provide “the sizzle with the steak.”  Regal Stephens has completed Penthouses in Destin along with opulent custom homes in a cornucopia of architectural styles located in Watercolor, Watersound and Sandestin.
