***ABSOLUTE AUCTION through Grand Estates Auction Company WITH NO MINIMUM RESERVE ON JUNE 12, 2013*** INQUIRE FOR FURTHER DETAILS AND BID REGISTRATION FORM*** Welcome to Torretta...Destin, Florida's Most Prestigious Waterfront Estate! Torretta is of a spectacular Tuscan Villa style that is truly a work of art! Situated on indisputably the finest bay-front lot in all of Destin, the sprawling 1.8 acre estate is located in the exclusive gated neighborhood of Waterford in Kelly Plantation and is a masterpiece beyond compare, with over 410' of water frontage on the Choctawhatchee Bay and Jones Bayou. Custom built to exact specifications using the finest of materials and the very latest in technology, this estate is the epitome of elegance and sophistication. A brick-paved motor court leads to the dramatic arched limestone entrance, flanked by two lion sculptures and iron Cantera doors. The grand foyer has dual stairways, each with hand-forged railings complementing the styling of the front doors, and allows for direct views through to the expansive pool pavilion with the ultimate backdrop; the serene bay waters! The first level features an open, inviting floor plan that is perfect for entertaining. A formal living and formal dining room flank the grand foyer. The dining room opens to a large wet bar with commercial grade 3' x 5' walk-in cooler and the family/casual dining area/kitchen. A round floor-to-ceiling saltwater aquarium is just one amazing focal point of this magnificent space. The gourmet kitchen would please the fussiest cook, with plenty of custom cabinetry, professional-grade stainless appliances, and gleaming granite counters. Just beyond the family room and visible from the kitchen is the home theater room, featuring stadium seating and 113' wide screen. The luxurious master wing has a large bedroom with three plasma televisions mounted to the ceiling over the bed, a waterfront sitting area, a fireplace, a sumptuous bath with a sunken, two-person Jacuzzi tub, a large walk-in shower, double vanities, and two very large walk-in closets. Two additional bedroom suites are on the first level, as well as an exercise room. Take the stairs or the elevator to the second level to find three additional bedroom suites, a wet bar and adjoining den, a spa room, a large storage room, two offices with a private entrance, and a large balcony overlooking the bay and pool area. Step outside on the first level to a tropical oasis, with a beach-entry pool, a fountain with swim-up bar, and a lanai with summer kitchen and fireplace--all screen enclosed and with one of the most spectacular views! Stacking sliding glass doors open from the family room, formal dining room, and living room onto the lanai, expanding the living and entertaining space. There are two garages; the north garage can accommodate six cars, while the south can accommodate three. In addition to the main house, a guest house over the north garage has two bedrooms, a full kitchen and living area, and a private entrance. So much thought went into each and every detail of this magnificent home! Finely appointed throughout with ruffled travertine floors, alderwood doors, hardwood floors, trayed ceilings, dome and hand painted ceilings, and faux finishes. Also includes heated pet rooms with doggie doors, a commercial-grade sprinkler system, a geo-thermal heating and cooling system, smart house wiring so that the touch of a button can change the lighting, pull up the weather forecast, or to tune in on a favorite style of music on keypads throughout the home, and much more! Of course, the grounds feature lush landscaping, as well as a boat dock with slips. A property of this caliber is a rarity and will certainly be admired by discriminating ownership that demands the finest detail money can buy!
