Property Description
Set within the prestigious gated golf course enclave of Emerald Bay in Destin, this Mediterranean-inspired 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence with a versatile flex room offers an exceptional blend of privacy, sophistication, and resort-style living. Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and bordered by a protected conservation area, the property delivers a serene, secluded setting just minutes from Destin's renowned beaches, dining, and shopping. French doors open to an elegant formal living room, where soaring ceilings and a wall of sliding glass doors crowned by dramatic transom windows flood the space with natural light.

The primary suite occupies a private wing with direct pool access and a recently updated spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub set within a bay window with granite ledge, a custom glass-enclosed walk-in shower, and an expansive double vanity with generous storage. The flex room offers exceptional versatility and can serve as a home office, media room, fitness space, or additional guest accommodations. Fresh neutral interior finishes enhance the home's refined aesthetic, while the oversized garage with built-in cabinetry and work surfaces adds exceptional functionality. A well-fed irrigation system supports lush landscaping, and storm shutters, storm doors, and a full-house generator provide peace of mind. Residents of Emerald Bay enjoy an exclusive golf course lifestyle in one of Destin's most desirable communities--offering elevated coastal living just moments from the emerald waters of the Gulf.
