Just minutes from Sandestin amenities, this luxury cottage stands in its own unspoiled oasis. Backing onto undeveloped wilderness, it enjoys delightful views of the bay and canal through mature greenery. Pecky cypress ceilings bring the outdoors in, tying this unpretentious home to its stunning surroundings. The open living room is enhanced by seasoned heart-of-pine flooring echoing the timber ceiling and white wood wainscoting. A comfortably furnished sitting area with a custom entertainment center is destined for cozy evenings with family and friends. Open the doors into the expansive wrap-around porch that is the ideal space for relaxing and unwinding while enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. The formal dining space is sure to be the gathering place for family meals andcelebrations while stools are lined up for drinks and casual dining at the granite-topped breakfast bar. A handy beverage refrigerator is tucked away in one corner. The country-style kitchen is fully equipped with a Viking stove, Sub-Zero appliances and multiple cupboards and drawers keeping everything neatly in place. Doors hide a washer-dryer in a laundry closet with more storage under-stairs. Two first-floor bedrooms include a guest suite with doors onto the veranda. The ensuite bath includes a twin vanity and an alluring whirlpool tub for leisurely soaks. There's a second bedroom and bathroom before reaching the stairs to the second floor which is dedicated to a private master suite. The spacious bedroom includes a walk-in closet and the adjoining bathroom has a shower/tub combo and granite twin vanity. Step through double doors onto the open deck for morning views across a tract of unspoiled wilderness. Blue bay waters and boats in the marina can be seen through the trees, a reminder of the endless boating, fishing and watersports opportunities available nearby. Lovingly maintained by the sellers for the past 18 years, this unique home has a new roof. Golf, bayfront dining and shopping within the resort are just a golf cart ride from this deceptively peaceful retreat.
