Situated on the fifth fairway of the Santa Rosa Beach golf course within the mature, gated community of Gulf Place, this relaxed, Gulf-view home is ideal for beach living. Its elevation 42 feet above sea level affords it a view of the Gulf from its third floor family room with wet bar, as well as a spacious balcony accessible by two sets of French doors, flanking a fireplace. The front drive accommodates parking for several vehicles while an oversized two-car garage provides additional storage space or room for your golf cart. Inside, a sunny entry foyer is adjacent to a spacious dining room, semi-open to the kitchen and lounge breakfast nook to create a flexible space that can be used both intimately and for more informal gatherings. Marble countertops in the kitchen pop against crisply painted white wood cabinetry, which contrast with the deep, rustic shades of the hardwood floors which carry throughout the first and second floors. The kitchen features a breakfast bar as well as stainless steel appliances. Just off the kitchen, facing the rear of the home is a sunny living room with fireplace and wet bar. It opens onto a covered porch overlooking the golf course as well as a shady arbor lined with airy cabana curtains running alongside the heated swimming pool with cabana bath. The first floor also features a private guest bedroom with en suite bath, perfect for hosting company. On the second floor is one of two washer and dryer sets in the home, as well as a full office with built-in desk and cabinetry. Two bedrooms occupy one end of the floor while the master suite resides on the opposite end. The spacious, light-filled master bedroom provides access to a covered porch and features a corner angled fireplace. The adjoining master bath features two separate vanities flanking French doors to the porch, a whirlpool soaking tub and separate walk-in shower. An additional feature of this family home is a 40 kilowatt natural gas generator capable of servicing the entire home during a power outage. Its location in Gulf Place simultaneously affords premium seclusion and convenient proximity to beach access, the Santa Rosa Beach Club, golf, bike path as well as shops and dining at Gulf Place. Gulf Place is a short drive east of Sandestin where the new Grand Boulevard is taking shape which will offer a variety of premier shopping and dining establishments. Buyer to verify all dimensions.
