This updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and convenience in the heart of Destin.

Set on a generously sized lot with no HOA and outside of any designated flood zones, the property features an expansive backyard with room for a future pool, a covered patio ideal for entertaining, a fire pit area, and an insulated workshop with electricity. A new deck and staircase overlook the backyard, while ample parking and side-yard access provide plenty of space for boats, trailers, and additional vehicles.

Inside, thoughtful finishes include acacia hand-scraped engineered wood flooring, hardwood floors, tongue-and-groove ceilings, a fireplace with an attractive mantel and hearth, and a well-appointed kitchen featuring a professional-grade Wolf gas range, commercial vent hood, double KitchenAid wall ovens, quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and natural gas service with an exterior grill connection. Recent improvements include a new roof, HVAC system with transferable warranty, interior paint, landscaping, irrigation upgrades, and more. Offering a blend of indoor comfort, outdoor space, and an exceptional central Destin location, this is a property designed to enjoy the best of coastal living year-round.
