Property Description

Positioned on the largest homesite in the neighborhood, this beautifully maintained lakefront residence offers an exceptional sense of space, privacy, and comfort within the gated community of Emerald Lakes. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac and spanning two lots, the property enjoys peaceful water views and an uncommon level of breathing room rarely found in this centrally located coastal setting. A thoughtful split floor plan and open living areas create an easy flow for both everyday living and entertaining, while the three-car garage with a dedicated 10-by-10 work area provides valuable storage and flexibility. Inside, the home showcases an array of modern updates and conveniences. The primary bath has been stylishly updated, complementing the home's cohesive interior design. Tile flooring runs throughout the residence, creating a clean, low-maintenance environment with no carpet. Additional improvements include an updated hot water heater, HVAC system, and new washer and dryer. The interior and garage have also been freshly painted, and the garage features durable epoxy flooring for a polished finish. Outdoor living is a defining feature of this property. A remarkable 25-by-60 screened lanai stretches along the lakeside of the home, creating an expansive covered retreat for relaxing or hosting gatherings. Recently rescreened with new doors, the space includes an outdoor television, audio system, and speakers for effortless entertaining. The private pool and surrounding deck have been resurfaced, providing a refreshed setting for warm Florida afternoons. A fenced side yard offers additional space for pets or recreation, while the portable generator connection with a manual transfer switch adds an extra layer of preparedness and convenience. Practical upgrades continue with a roof replacement and a system maintained termite bond. The home is also the only property in the neighborhood featuring a three-car garage, making it a rare opportunity within this established community. Emerald Lakes offers a gated environment with low HOA fees and a range of amenities designed for an active coastal lifestyle. Residents enjoy a community pool, park, tennis and pickleball courts, along with the convenience of a traffic light at Highway 98 for easy access. The location places the home within biking distance of the beach and just minutes from Destin Commons, Sandestin, and Destin Harbor, providing quick access to shopping, dining, entertainment, and the sugar-white sand that defines the Emerald Coast.
