INCREDIBLE PRICE on probably the best deep water custom home on the market today! The deep protected water of Magnolia Cove (off of Rocky Bayou)offers stunning sunsets, relaxing panoramic views, and boating opportunities for sailors and power boaters alike! Now imagine living in this 2939 SF,custom-built coastal cottage designed to capture waterviews from almost every room. Superb quality and attention to detail include 2x6 framing, triple crown molding, tongue and groove wood ceilings, plantation shutters, and views, views, views thru top-quality windows,transoms, and French doors. Burnished hickory floors flow thru the living areas and the kitchen, and your upward gaze will find both new and vintage light fixtures (the 2 chandeliers in the master and the master bath do not convey). The spacious, light-filled great room features a ''home theater'' sound system which is distributed to the master suite, kitchen, and the veranda. Tiled with weathered travertine, this 52' long ''Southern'' veranda provides a great view and cool breezes for those who lounge in hammocks and cushion-y chairs. The comfortably elegant dining room easily seats 10-14 and has ample room for your serving pieces. The kitchen...the heart of this home...features warmth, modern conveniences, and stunning views. Painted wood cabinetry, granite counters, work island, Dacor dual fuel range/oven with companion exhaust fan, and a pantry pretty enough to leave the door open. Eating space at the bar or table space by the window...your choice! The back hall leads to a stylish powder room, and laundry complete with a sink, folding space, extra cabinets and a wall of storage shelves. Filtered sunlight brightens the first floor master suite where the waterviews greet you each morning. Here you'll savor soft breezes from the veranda ...a delight especially in spring and fall. There's plenty of closet space, too, with an extension under the staircase for suitcases, etc. The master bath features a large custom vanity with a honed granite top and polished nickel hardware, a tiled shower. Behind the armoire, there is plumbing for an additional vanity or a tub. From the foyer, as you turn to go up the stairs, notice antique wooden ball at the top of the newel post and its twin at the top of the stairs. Adds to the character of the home, don't you think? The study/office/loft/studio/ham radio center beckons you to relax and unwind and enjoy yourselves. It's great kid and grandkid space, too. Two spacious bedrooms, each with its own large bath, complete the upstairs. Note that bedroom #3 offers a great water view, too. Practical facts: The lush landscaping design keeps maintenance minimized and color optimized year 'round. The deepwater dock accommodates larger boats. The seller does not know the weight capacity of the boat lift. Terminix holds the termite bond. Note that the garage is designed with one longer bay for bigger vehicles. A complete set of storm shutters can be installed without using a ladder. The 20KW generator can run all the electrical items in the entire house. The security system adds to your peace of mind. The fabric window treatments and rods will not convey and the walls will be patched and painted. Come visit this thoughtfully designed and beautifully built coastal cottage to see what life on the Emerald Coast is all about. Then come and stay and make this your forever home!
