About This Home

As of March 2012

HUGE PRICE REDUCTION has made this a best buy! 1540 Baytowne Ave is located on one of the best lots in Sandestin Beach Resort, this special home takes full advantage of the views across the lakes to Raven Golf Course's signature island green. Fantastic landscaping & elevations make this one of the most photographed homes in Sandestin. When you enter the gate to the New Orleans-style courtyard with its fountain, lush landscaping, and bench seats under towering crepe myrtle, you know you've arrived someplace special. The current owners have spent the last 3 years perfecting this magnificent home. Upon entering the double French front doors, you will be awed by the large open living area with 2 story ceilings, spectacular faux painting, natural light through lovely french doors and windows, and second story library that overlooks the room. The magnificent columns, crown molding and accents on the doors add a touch of refinement & class. There are formal and informal living areas to enjoy. A grand fireplace is in the informal living area. In the kitchen you will find granite countertops, abundant custom cabinetry, tile flooring, top of the line stainless appliances (even has a built in cappuccino machine!) with plenty of room for more than one chef to move around. The generous sized breakfast nook has incredible views across the covered pool to the beautiful landscaped yard, lakes & golf course. The ambience in the master bedroom is something one dreams of; with the cozy sitting area/office off the bedroom and windows all around to enjoy the view of the fountain, lake and golf course. His and Her walk-in closets with built in shelves, drawers, shoe compartments, etc. The master bath is adorned with columns around the raised whirlpool tub, his and her vanity areas, and a walk-in shower. French doors open up to the enclosed pool with hot tub and private pool bath. The lush landscaping keeps this very private & comfortable. There are also plans approved by the ARB for a new pool in the large back yard overlooking the lakes & golf course. Another bedroom or full office w/ private bath is located downstairs. Going up the stairs you will see lavish bamboo flooring through the upstairs living area. 2 bedrooms plus bunk room, 2 baths, and wet bar upstairs offer plenty of room for guests. 700 sq ft of tiled balconies allow plenty of room to entertain overlooking 2 lakes, fountain, & 4 golf holes. Also a great place to relax and soak up the sun with total privacy! Words and pictures can not do this exquisite home justice. It is truly a one of a kind, custom masterpiece that you must see with your own eyes to be able to take it all in and appreciate what a work of art it is. This is a Short Sale & subject to lender approval.
