Waterfront living at its very best! The north wall of this lovely home looks at a gorgeous waterscape of Jones Bayou, Choctawhatchee Bay, and the attractive rooflines of some of the nicest homes on the Emerald Coast.

The wide glass doors of the living room open to the huge screened lanai so you can enjoy open air living--even throughout the summer months--as an eco-oriented layout and numerous fans keep the home comfortable and breezy. Your family and guests will love the pool/spa with waterfall and the summer kitchen with its gas grill. Step past the lush lawn and landscaping to your own boat dock, complete with boat lift. The ideal location on Jones Bayou offers shelter but also easy access to the Bay, and thus to Destin Harbor and the Gulf, for dolphin watching, fishing, and more. The high ceilings (12' on the first floor, 9' on the second), white/beige finishes, travertine floors, and abundant natural light all combine for clean, cool, relaxed living. The open kitchen with beautiful glass display cabinets and mostly GE appliances serves both the casual dining areas and a formal dining room. The luxurious master suite opens to the lanai, as does an elegant guest suite. The master bath includes a air tub, stained glass window, bidet, extensive granite countertops, and a huge closet. Even the master closet and laundry room are bright and airy with natural light! Upstairs two bedroom suites open to a deep balcony facing the water. Storage will never be a problem in this home--not only are there multiple walk-in closets, a cedar closet, dark room space, bonus room, and 3-car garage with workshop, but there are large unfinished spaces (not included in total SF) that would make an awesome children's play room and/or additional storage. Gas furnaces, 2 water heaters, a gas fireplace, and Pella windows with built-in screens will contribute to your comfort. The secure, high-end neighborhood brings privacy and quiet, yet Kelly Plantation's abundant amenities give many opportunities for family fun and community participation--whether you're into golf, tennis, gardening, or numerous other hobbies. The ideal home for those dreaming of a relaxed but active waterfront lifestyle!
