Not only is Destiny by the Sea one of only three truly gated, Gulf front neighborhoods in Destin, it is also the most popular. Among the 4 Gulf front homes currently on the market in Destiny by the Sea, completed in 2012, 4724 Ocean Boulevard is the newest. Unlike previously built homes on comparably sized lots in Destiny by the Sea, new rules were enacted just prior to this home being built that enabled it to reach a width of 30 feet. Its width exceeds those of previously built homes on 40-foot wide Gulf front lots that average in the low 20s. Its lot has been maximized to accommodate a private pool & even a Gulf front lawn. At the most attractive list price among the Gulf front homes currently on the market in Destiny by the Sea, with $680K separating it from the next lowest priced competitor, it goes toe-to-toe on features which also include two Gulf front master suites with private Gulf front balconies, a dedicated media room, a residential elevator with stops on all four floors, as well as an expansive rooftop terrace with summer kitchen. Four of its five bedrooms, each of which features access to its own private bath, capture Gulf views thanks to its ingenious design. Two enclosed garages flank the front door which immediately reveals the Gulf view upon being opened. Soaring from ground floor to 4th floor is a meticulously crafted spiral staircase whose breathtaking features are illuminated by a crystal chandelier. Limestone tile floors carry from the foyer into the Gulf front great room with kitchen, living & dining room areas. The stylish kitchen features an L-shaped island with bar seating for five, a stainless steel appliance package consisting of a Thermador six-burner gas range with griddle & double oven, a KitchenAid refrigerator with freezer drawer, KitchenAid dishwasher, ice maker & microwave. A sophisticated stacked stone backsplash complements the cream, raised-panel cabinets along the perimeter of the kitchen & coordinates with the granite counters whose veins of varied gold tones are picked up by the darker island cabinets. Stacked crown molding can be found throughout. It is most evident in the coffered ceiling found in the living & dining room areas. From there, French sliding glass doors open onto a gated, covered porch, overlooking the Gulf front lawn with nearby beach access. On the north side of the second floor is a Gulf view guest bedroom with access to a bath that also features access from the hall for the adjacent, dedicated media room with wet bar, Viking beverage cooler, stadium seating for six, & most importantly, an 8 x 4-foot projector screen. The first of two Gulf front master suites is located on this floor. Its spacious bath features marble floors, his & her vanities, a Jacuzzi tub & walk-in shower with hexagonal mosaic marble tile floor & subway tile surround. On the north side of the third floor are two guest bedrooms with tongue-and-groove wood-paneled cathedral ceilings & private baths. The east bedroom features a private, north-facing Juliet balcony while the west bedroom features a private Gulf view balcony. Just beyond a wet bar with two stainless steel Summit refrigerator drawers is a set of French doors that leads into the second master suite. Its bed faces a two-sided gas fireplace flanked by doors that lead into an exquisite, spa bath. Aside from the dark wood cabinets that comprise the double vanity, virtually every surface is clad in luxurious marble. A large jetted tub is set beneath a domed ceiling with crystal chandelier & in front of the gas fireplace. A Gulf front shower with frameless glass door features two windows, a rain head & wall jets. Finally, the rooftop terrace features a summer kitchen with expansive granite counter work surface, a Bull stainless steel gas grill as well as plenty of space to entertain while enjoying panoramic coastline views & stunning sunsets.
