Absolutely gorgeous Mediterranean-style home on the golf course in Regatta Bay. Set back 101 feet from the road with a lush lawn and brick-paved circular driveway, this stunning home will be a pleasing sight to your eyes every time you come home! Entering the gates, you find yourself in a large courtyard, which includes the heated saltwater pool with waterfall and spa, plus a summer kitchen with gas grill. The front door to the 4,175 SF main house opens into the elegant, octagon-shaped formal living room--with 22-foot ceilings! A large arch connects the formal dining area. The huge kitchen offers granite countertops, a large breakfast bar, island, desk area, wet bar, large walk-in pantry with electrical outlets, and a large breakfast nook facing the courtyard. Appliances include a stainless LG fridge, a convection oven and micro-convection oven, Bosch glass-top stove, 2 dishwashers, 2 garbage disposals and sinks, icemaker, and 2nd fridge in the laundry room. Both the living room and spacious family room have gas fireplaces.  The sumptuous first-floor master suite enjoys the property's natural setting with lots of windows and double doors to its own covered patio. Two great closets provide convenience, while the huge master bath features a raised ceiling, unique angles, artistically designed tile counters/sinks, a jetted tub with outside views, a large tile shower, and natural lighting. The spacious office is also octagonal. A sitting room and three bedrooms are found upstairs--all with their own balcony, each facing a different direction, so your guests or kids can have their choice. One closet is cedar, while another accesses a huge storage area. Wood flooring is found throughout the home, except for tile in the bathrooms and guest cottage. Rooms have multiple TV and phone outlets and wireless Internet capability. Additional conveniences include: central vac, plantation shutters, security/alarm system, 4 heat pumps (3 with UV lights), 3 Rennai hot water units, stucco exterior walls (not synthetic), concrete tile roof, and an irrigation well/pump. Also reached from the courtyard, the 367 SF guest cottage consists of a studio bedroom with kitchen, walk-in closet, and elegant bath. In addition to the 2-car garage, a heated/cooled small garage is perfect for golf carts or other hobbies. In back of the house, the native foliage has been maintained; so coupled with the golf course to the south and pond/lake across the street, this property enjoys lots of fresh air and privacy--watch the golfers, listen to the birds, or just relax in your own private world. Or you can enjoy Regatta Bay's amenities--directly across the street--including a large lap pool, children's playground, tennis, and more. Located in the heart of Destin, shortly past Regatta Bay's guard gate, this property provides an incredible backdrop for many years of wonderful memories!  Seller may entertain seller financing.  All features and specifications must be verified by Buyer.
