Bank Owned: Renovated Bay Front Home for Sale

Posted by Destin Real Estate Sales on Thursday, July 13th, 2017 at 8:33am.

Waterfront homes have the absolute best locations along Florida's Emerald Coast. These highly sought after properties are at the top tier of value, often with prices to match. Gulf front residences are listed in the multiple millions. Although many people like to be right on the gulf, many others prefer the being on the wide expanse of Choctawhatchee Bay – it is three to miles across off the mainland and the views are spectacular! Sensational sunsets occur over the bay during the summer months, full moons rise there during the winter and the view of twinkling lights across the water at night are always magical.

This Santa Rosa Beach location affords privacy since it sits overlooking the water at the end of a quiet cul de sac. Set far back from the street, a long driveway meanders past towering pine trees up to this charming home.  A lush lawn surrounds the house itself that is accented with manicured islands of Live Oak trees.

A new sea wall stretches across the entire length of the bay front and a dock could be added for boating. The design of this home is a sophisticated blend of modern contemporary styling mixed with a rustic beach chic look.
