Dreaming of waterfront living, owning a boat and never-ending Florida sunsets? Step inside and experience bay-front living at its finest with 107' of water frontage with seawall and dock with boatlift on an estate sized lot. 797 Dolphin Road is a 2,560 sq ft home offering four large bedrooms, a dedicated office/library & a dedicated exercise room that could also serve as guest rooms or additional office, three full baths & offers stunning views from the back decks with 1,020 of living space for entertaining and relaxing. Every room of this home has amazing views within its beautiful surroundings of mature trees and water. Along with the large outdoor living spaces, this home highlights a chef's kitchen with professional stainless appliances, a large kitchen island for prep, and a large eat-in bar area allowing for plenty of room for entertaining guests and family. With the lower-level deck screened-in, you can open up the doors to enjoy the sounds and breezes of the bay. Located near the Garcon Bridge, the home is minutes from the sugar white sands of either Pensacola Beach or Navarre Beach, as well as shopping, dining, and entertainment. The property also has its own sandy "beach" area next to the bay where you can sit or play next to the tranquil sounds of the waves. The property is also conveniently located off Avalon Blvd, connecting to I-10. When the owners built the home, they took much consideration in the building quality for energy efficiency using SIPS construction. Even with the recent changes to FPL billing, the owner’s energy bills for this large home never exceed $200 per month. Home also has a heat pump for HVAC & hybrid hot water heater for additional efficiency. Enjoy fishing or watching the dolphins from your waterfront retreat.
