About This Home
Discover 1656 Ella Lane in Fate's Landing at Bluewater Bay, the idyllic 21-home enclave brought to life by celebrated Niceville builder, Randy Wise Homes. Set back from Bay Drive, Ella Lane follows the meandering course of a former fairway and retains a strong connection with its natural surroundings. Homes along the curated streetscape back to a wetlands conservation area and enjoy a wide community greenbelt and private park at the end of the cul de sac. Finished in 2020, this 2653 square foot, 2-story 'Stella' plan exudes classic Southern style with a welcoming covered front porch and wrap around, screen enclosed back porch. Inside, find all the hallmarks of elevated, quality construction from 10' ceilings and 8' doors to extensive craftsman millwork and designer finishes throughout... A flexible office space is located through glass-paneled French doors to the left of the foyer. Continue down the hall past a discreet powder room and into the heart of the home - an open concept kitchen, living, and dining space. The kitchen is a showstopper with artistic tile backsplash running from quartz counters to the ceiling, stainless steel vent hood, two-tone shaker style cabinets, Frigidaire Professional appliance suite, and an entertainer's dream island accented by designer pendant lighting. Don't miss the massive working pantry with solid wood shelving large enough to accommodate small kitchen appliances, platters, cookbooks, and months of provisions! A dedicated laundry room outfitted with abundant upper and lower cabinets and under-mount sink provides even greater storage and organization. The primary bedroom retreat features access to the back porch as well as an ample walk-in closet, and stylish bath complete with tiled shower, quartz-topped double-sink vanity, and private water closet. Year-round enjoyment of the backyard oasis begins on the screen-enclosed wrap around porch overlooking the gorgeous wetlands ecosystem. Beyond the screened porch lies an open deck finished with decorative railing leading to a sodded and cleared space perfect for play and entertainment. Ascend the stairs to the second level where a cozy landing with window seat extends to three spacious bedrooms as well as two full baths! Unlike many newer homes that all but eliminate storage, this property maximizes opportunities to organize all of life's extras - the offset garage features extensive built-in shelving as well as attic space accessible via pulldown ladder; a convenient mudroom offers a landing zone for keys and bags; an entryway closet fully utilizes space under the stairs!Perfectly located in the heart of Bluewater Bay, Fate's Landing residents enjoy premium access to all the resort community's amenities including golf, tennis, pickleball, and pools (separate memberships available for purchase), as well as restaurants, shopping, healthcare, and more. Jump on your bike or golf cart just 0.3 miles to the Bluewater Bay Marina Complex, home of locals' favorite LJ Schooner's Dockside Restaurant and Oyster Bar.Zoned for highly rated Bluewater Elementary School, with a choice of Ruckel or Destin Middle School, and Niceville High School.
