Impressive custom built home with 100 feet on Escambia Bay. Plenty of room for a large family or entertaining. Spacious open living areas accented by abundance windows allow natural light and provide magnificent views of the bay. The large formal living room currently accommodates a pool table, but could have many uses. The gourmet kitchen, complete with large pantry and stainless steel appliances including a smooth surface stove, convection oven & wine refrigerator, opens to the airy family room. Upgrades abound including rounded corners, crown molding, insulated interior walls and all wood cabinets throughout. The master suite features a trey ceiling, double doors leading to the back patio, two walk in closets, a double vanity, Jacuzzi tub, tiled shower with multiple showerheads, a water closet with additional pedestal sink and a private hot water heater. The three large spare bedrooms each offer their own benefits. One features an access to the back patio, one has it?s own private entrance to the spare bathroom, and one is located in the lower level of the home and is currently being used as a home office. This home also offers a separate office/study in the main living area which is currently being used as an exercise room. Other upgrades include fiberglass coated exterior doors to avoid corrosion, thicker water pipes allowing more volume and better water pressure, and cat 5 wiring. The exterior of the home is just as impressive as the interior and includes a large driveway for parking multiple cars, an inviting entryway, luscious shade trees, a large patio off of the back of the home and a pier with boathouse. This home is a spectacular area to enjoy coastal living.
