Package Deal: Buy 3 Destin Homes Across from Beach

Opportunities like this are a rarity! If you are looking for a family vacation compound near the beach, a group of forever homes, or short-term rental investment properties, this unique property package can suit all three! These properties consist of two single-family homes that sit side by side at 3171 and 3175 Scenic Hwy 98 in Destin's prestigious Crystal Beach community. One of the homes includes a separate Guest House for additional guests or family members. This phenomenal location is in a fantastic world of its own but still in the center of everything Destin has to offer.

These gracious homes are a short block away from the neighborhood beach access, leading you to the shimmering crystalline shore beside the glowing jewel-toned gulf. Each of them also includes a private swimming pool providing refreshing sparkling fun for owners and their fortunate guests. In less than a handful of minutes, you may go from frolicking in one of the pools to floating around in the gorgeous gulf. Each home has a beautiful Old Florida-styled look, complete with a covered wraparound porch, a white picket fence, and lovely tropical landscaping. They also have views of the glittering gulf in the distance from the upper levels.

The home at 3171 Scenic Hwy 98 encompasses 2,885 square feet with five bedrooms and three full baths. The Master Bedroom includes a luxury ensuite bath, while two full hall baths are accessible from the guest bedrooms.

Double glass doors lead into an expansive open living, dining, and kitchen area that is filled with lots of natural light from many windows. Beach-washed hardwood flooring flows throughout this space, and the living area features a gas fireplace.

The adjoining dining area is contained within a bright alcove flanked by three sunny windows and a glass door leading out to the wraparound veranda on one of its sides.

Beside the fireplace on the other side of the room is a ledge pass-thru bar connected to the kitchen, providing a space for entertainment and drinks. The kitchen features cream-colored panel-sided custom cabinetry, finely mottled granite countertops done in soft ash tones, and brushed stainless steel appliances.

The huge Master Bedroom is upstairs and includes the ensuite bath. This room is big enough to include a king-sized bed and extra bunks or beds if you want to maximize the space for rental guests or individual family members. A double glass door is flanked by side windows, accentuating an even more spacious look.

These doors lead to a regal portico that provides shade for seating and a very large open deck for sunning. The breezy views are quite lovely since this home sits directly across from an opening toward the gulf, providing a glittering vista across the palm-studded grounds. An open sun deck on a third-floor tower level provides even greater panoramic views.

A lagoon-shaped swimming pool out back includes a nice patio adorned with lovely tropical plantings. The lavish poolside Guest House includes two of the five bedrooms and has a full luxury bath.

The open living, dining, and full galley kitchen area features a dramatic two-story-tall cathedral ceiling along with a wall of windows crowned by arched palladiums. One bedroom is on the first floor, while an elegant black spiral staircase leads upstairs to another in a semi-open loft.

The home next door at 3175 Scenic Hwy 98 with three bedrooms and two full baths encompasses 1,923 square feet.

The gracious wraparound porch also leads into this home's open living, dining and kitchen area. It features the same beach-washed hardwood flooring and a similar gas fireplace. The space is slightly smaller than the other home; however, three walls of multiple windows accentuate a bright, spacious look.

The kitchen also features a pass-thru bar for entertainment, and the dining nook is more private. The kitchen has a warm, inviting appeal with white beadboard under cabinetry, glass front upper cabinets, and brushed stainless steel appliances.

The Master Bedroom upstairs is also large enough to accommodate extra beds if desired. It has access to an open sundeck bordered by palm treetops. The full ensuite bath features double vanity sinks and a spa jetted tub shower combination.

A third-story covered balcony provides distant views of the gulf.

The kidney-shaped pool outback has a lovely patio for sunning with room for lounge furniture and tables for dining.

This awesome locale is close to grocery stores, wine outlets, popular gulf front restaurants with friendly beach bars, and unique shopping adventures. The picturesque captivating retail complex of Destin Commons is two minutes away, providing an idyllic shopping experience. It features a charming ambiance complete with turrets, an old-fashioned clock tower, pedestrian-friendly avenues lined with towering Royal Palms, a classic fountain, and a kid's play plaza with alternating mini geysers.
