Description

Very rarely does a direct Gulf front facing, luxury penthouse appear on the market at Destin Surfside Resort, but here is an opportunity to acquire PH 1602. Perched up on the 16th and 17th floors, with private keyed elevator access, sits this beautifully remodeled west end unit with it's spectacular panoramic views from the Gulf to the Bay. The amazing coastline views to the west are truly breathtaking and are completed by romantic sunsets all year round, followed by the night lights of Destin. The...Very rarely does a direct Gulf front facing, luxury penthouse appear on the market at Destin Surfside Resort, but here is an opportunity to acquire PH 1602. Perched up on the 16th and 17th floors, with private keyed elevator access, sits this beautifully remodeled west end unit with it's spectacular panoramic views from the Gulf to the Bay. The amazing coastline views to the west are truly breathtaking and are completed by romantic sunsets all year round, followed by the night lights of Destin. The south and west facing walls have ceiling to floor windows allowing views out to the Gulf from almost every room. There are two separate balconies on the 16th floor, one accessed from the living area and the other one off the dining area, kitchen and bedrooms, all face the Gulf and are spacious. The deck on the 17th floor is unusually large at approximately 1,007 sq. ft. There is an approximate 1,283 feet of total outdoor living space, making another rare feature in this unit, and the perfect place to take in all of those fabulous views! The penthouse offers two master suites, one on each floor. Both have been updated, and the master suite on the 17th floor has been recently remodeled with it's lovely spa like bathroom, which includes an oversized shower for two, double sink vanity, stylish quartz counters, all new plumbing and lighting fixtures, tile flooring, mirrors, and a water closet with new commode. There is also a full sized washer and dryer that has been added off the master suite on that floor and a full sized washer and dryer on the 16th floor, as well. Both master en-suites have walk-in closets and dressing areas, but the walk-in closet on the 17th floor is extremely large and easily enough space for full time residents. Tile flooring runs throughout the entire unit with no carpeting for ease of care. Also featured are 10 foot ceilings, crown moldings, and the entire unit has been freshly painted. There are high end, motorized solar shades covering the windows in the living, dining, and kitchen which is a wonderful touch and very upscale! Only the penthouse offers a fabulous jetted hot tub, complete with a dolphin waterfall feature, located on the 17th floor's large deck. There is also an outdoor serving area making this is the perfect place to unwind and take a soak in the spa under the stars and moon. How romantic. Or enjoy the cool Gulf breezes, get a little sun, read a good book, have your favorite beverage and a meal, al fresco, all while taking in the extreme beauty that is our Miramar Beach. The kitchen has also been remodeled. The large granite breakfast bar, with seating for six, opens out to the dining and living areas making the perfect gathering spot to entertain guests while cooking. The pretty white custom cabinetry in the kitchen allow for ample storage along with the large granite serving bar. The appliances have been replaced including the built-in Ferguson ice maker and Bosch dishwasher and GE smooth top double oven range. The new glass top dining table comfortably seats eight and this all overlooks the Gulf. The unit is certainly large enough for the entire family to gather or just the right size for two. Selling fully furnished, with a few exemptions, it's in move-in condition and ready to go. This property has been lovingly cared for by it's current owners as a full time residence, but investors take notice, these spacious, penthouse units cab be high grossing rental properties. The 17th floor HVAC was replaced in 2017, and the HVAC on the 16th floor was replaced in 2010. Surfside has a chiller system and therefore the HVAC systems do operate for a long time. The hot water is on a boiler system and never runs out. There are no hot water heaters inside the units. Destin Surfside is an extremely well built CAT 5, concrete and steel building. There is even a skywalk over the road from the pool deck making getting to the beach safe and easy for all. The beach is privately owned by The Surfside HOA, and there are daily beach set ups and a full time beach attendant on duty during season. Destin Surfside is also an extremely well maintained property and it's active HOA is well funded. Destin Surfside Resort offers an on site full service front desk in the lobby, a large Gulf view pool with two heated spas, sun deck, kiddie pool, an on-site Gulf view restaurant, pool side bar, beach side bar, state of the art fitness center with sauna, lighted tennis and sport deck, two multi-level attached parking garages one for use of the owners only, the other one for their guests, heated and cooled interior corridors, three elevators, a full service restaurant which includes room service, a beauty salon and day spa, outdoor grilling and picnic areas and a full time maintenance and security staff on-site. Surfside Resort is a family, favorite, beach, vacation destination and many repeat guests come year after year to enjoy the resort. Do not miss viewing this unique and one of a kind property, it will not disappoint. Call for a private showing.
