A fabulous waterfront property with so much to offer! This classic beach home enjoys a prime location on Gulf Shore Drive, for easy access by car, as well as on a canal just off Destin Harbor, for easy access by boat! With 3 stories, plus decks on each, it enjoys great views of the Harbor, Gulf of Mexico, sunsets, and fireworks. Soaring ceilings, artistic chandeliers, and beautiful, real heart pine floors set apart the great room--an amazing place for family and friends to gather! The kitchen features marble countertops, leaded glass cabinets, dual breakfast bars, a sitting area (or breakfast nook), and large pantry closet. Since this home is all about enjoying the water, the large back patio, heated pool and long tie-up dock are another focal point. The dock includes water, electricity, and a jet ski port. The home enjoys 4 master suites with ensuite baths, most with dual sinks. The lower level is effectively its own apartment, with a large living space, dining area, and its own kitchen. One of the original 2 garages has been converted to a bunkroom for six. Subject property is being sold furnished, some exclusions apply. With the sparkling white sand beach just across the street and great restaurants, entertainment and shopping venues of the Emerald Coast just a short drive or boat ride away, this classic family home with unique touches will bring great enjoyment for years to come!
