GORGEOUS waterfront home on protected Grass Lake that leads out to Choctawhatchee Bay! This home is in Raintree Estates which is a unique community at the foot of the Mid-Bay Bridge that features a neighborhood bayfront park and an interior ball field as well as several walking trails! Built in 1998 by Greg Goodwin, this one owner, custom built, all brick home features 2x6 construction and is also protected by a seawall. Upon entering this fine home, you are greeted by stunning views of Grass Lake through the tall living room windows that let in an abundance of natural light. Just to the left is the formal dining room and a bit further, you will find the large combination kitchen/family room. The kitchen is actually part of the family room and is the heart of this home with warm hardwood floors, large waterfront windows and a gas fireplace. Tucked into this room is a cozy breakfast nook with a built in bench for family meals. On the other side of the home, you will find a guest suite with a private bath as well as the master suite with French doors leading out to the waterfront hot tub. Upstairs, there are three large bedrooms and a loft with a computer area overlooking the living room. One of these bedrooms would make a wonderful media room or playroom! This waterfront home was designed for outdoor living with a 10'x25' screened porch and a large multi level paver patio area accented by a lovely pergola with a built in gas grill. The good sized yard separates the patio area from the seawall and dock that has water and power as well as a boat lift. Other notable items include hardwood flooring and crown molding in the living areas, new carpet in the master and guest suites a new (2009) upstairs HVAC system with plenty of storage space in the attic. This waterfront home has it all and is ready for you to fall in love with!
