272 Olde Post Rd, Niceville, FL 32578

All brick four bedroom one story home located on the protected waters of Grass Bayou with direct access to the Bay. Grass Bayou, accessible by boat, is a natural habitat for dolphins, otters, fish, birds, and other wildlife. Just imagine a day on the water and then a dip in your own screened-in swimming pool in the evening. The great room, which overlooks the gunite sport pool, is hard wired for surround sound and provides sweeping views of the bayou and Choctawhatchee Bay. The open floor plan with its river rock fireplace with a Heat-a-Lator type blower and vaulted pine ceilings will give you a real feeling of warmth. The kitchen appliances include a Jenn-Aire countertop island range with a combination of cooking choices and a microwave and oven wall unit. The dining room and kitchen are both open to the great room. You will love the spacious master bedroom and master bath with stained glass windows, whirlpool tub, separate shower and door to the Florida room and pool. The high efficiency geothermal system uses well water for heating, cooling and hot water. There are internet jacks in three rooms. Just outside of the screened pool, you will find an open deck that runs the width of the entire screened area, just perfect for family gatherings and entertaining. The park-like yard with flower urns by the beveled glass front door has magnolias, dogwood, live oaks, holly, maple trees, and a variety of flowers including hydrangeas, azaleas, roses, climbing roses, honeysuckle, jasmine, Rose of Sharon, pittosporum, and camelias. As you proceed toward the water you will note the lot is adjacent and has a private gate to the Raintree Park, which provides association members with a private beach, covered cabana and barbeque area. As you proceed further toward the bayou, you will appreciate the private well-maintained dock with a removable ladder and a bench facing southwest for enjoying the beautiful sunsets. The oversized garage has a built-in work bench and a wall of shelves. Super convenient to the Mid-Bay Bridge, Destin and Eglin AFB, Raintree Estates maintains the aforementioned waterfront park, a ballpark, many walking trails, and two entrances.
