Energy efficient water-front property with boat slip on a private road with new roof 2020 Located at the end of a private road, and atop a long stone-paved driveway, this water-front home has hard to find and highly desirable features like energy-efficient Solar cool windows, maximum water views from every room, and a covered boat lift and dock. You'll enter this home on the second-story, which is the main living area and is completely handicap accessible. On this mezzanine level, the kitchen, living room, dining room, laundry room and a bathroom are located. Ceiling to floor high-impact picture windows bring in not only ample natural light, but also serene views of your backyard on Cinco Bayou. The good news is that with these Solarcool windows, light doesn't have to equal heat or lack of privacy! You can enjoy the beautiful view from inside, but those outside can't see in. The split floor plan creates privacy, with the main bedroom suite off of the living room. Tile flooring spreads throughout the living areas and bathroom but all of the bedrooms are carpeted. This suite includes a walk-in closet, and bathroom with his and hers single vanities and a tub/shower combo. Walk-out through sliding glass doors to a second-story large balcony, where you'll often see dolphins surface and play. Upstairs, the landing has large picture windows with water views and a sliding glass door to a third-story deck on one side. This lanai / solarium area is not only a great place to relax, but it's part of the energy-efficient design. In order to really exploit the water views, the other side of the lanai has three sets of sliding glass doors. One leading to a second main-bedroom with a full ensuite bathroom, and two others leading to bedrooms adjoined by a full jack-and-jill bathroom. Wood trim and horizontal panel walls in the lanai give the home a rustic cabin-like feel throughout. Another highly desirable feature of this home is the ground-level walk-out basement. This huge room has tile flooring throughout, as well as a built in bar area, including seating and behind the bar cabinets and shelves. With a fireplace and plenty of room for a pool table or a large sectional and TV on the wall, this makes an excellent game room or man-cave. A nook in the corner of this room also makes the perfect work-from home office space. An unfinished area off to the side can be personalized for your own needs. Energy isn't the only thing maximized in this home--storage space and closets are aplenty! Under the stairs on this level, the space has been optimized with cabinet storage. Imagine if you could keep your holiday decor so easily accessible! Backyards just don't get better than this. Directly on the Cinco Bayou, with your own dock and covered boat slip, there is also a gazebo, perfect for relaxing in the shade while you listen to the sounds of bayou-living. Water-front definitely makes this location desirable, but so does the short commute to Eglin Air Force Base, Hurlburt Field, and Ft. Walton Beach Medical Center. In ten minutes you can be in Downtown Fort Walton Beach, or to white-sand beaches of Okaloosa Island. Properties like this don't come around often and this one is one you really need to see for yourself!
