Property Description
Welcome to 253 Driftwood Point Drive, a one of a kind bayfront estate offering unparalleled views and world-class sunsets across Choctawhatchee Bay.Set on an oversized, nearly one-acre homesite, this western-facing property is perfectly positioned to capture breathtaking panoramic vistas and vibrant evening skies year-round. As you approach the residence down a serene, tree lined 300-foot drive, you're immediately struck by the property's presence and privacy. A striking pivot-style front door opens to reveal a completely reimagined interior where water views take center stage from nearly every room.This thoughtfully redesigned 4 bedroom, 5 bathroom home has been taken down to the studs and rebuilt with today's modern standards in mind combining timeless elegance with the convenience of new construction. No detail was overlooked: new roofing, windows, doors, insulation, siding, mechanicals, flooring, lighting, tile, and more. The resort-style pool and spa add a luxurious focal point to the waterfront backyard, which boasts over 115 feet of pristine bay frontage. Out back, a newly built 900-square-foot composite dock invites you to fish, relax, or watch dolphins at play, it is a true waterfront lifestyle experience. The oversized detached 3 car garage is pre-plumbed and recently finished, with a deep 400-foot irrigation well keeping the landscaping vibrant. Nestled in the peaceful Driftwood Estates neighborhood, you're only minutes from Sacred Heart Hospital, Grand Boulevard's upscale shopping and dining, and the sugar-white sands of the Gulf. This is more than just a home. It's an opportunity to live a coastal lifestyle with comfort, space, and spectacular views.
