About This Home

As of July 2020

This is a 'Phenomenal Home' located on a beautiful Lake in the much sought after Gated Community of Emerald Lakes. The Owner says that 99% of the furniture inside and outside of the home is negotiable. Please look at all of the Photographs of this home as that is the only way you are going to be able to fully appreciate the pure beauty of this home. Features of the home include Tile, Carpet, Wood Floors, Granite, Natural Gas Fireplace and a Natural Gas Outside Grill, and updated Kitchen Appliances. The spacious Living Room Area where the two Sitting Areas and 2nd Fireplace are currently located could be converted easily to a Living Room / Formal Dining Room Area. The Office is away from the Family Room lending peace and quiet to whatever tasks you might want to accomplish. The Master Bedroom has its own Open Sitting Room and is another spot to seek tranquility and set up a second Desk for Office Space while looking over the beautiful Lake. The home is meticulous, has 10-12 Foot Ceilings with Crown Molding, and the Entertainment Flow Pattern for this home is off the chart as you could entertain 25-30 people with no problems. I don't believe that there are any other homes in Emerald Lakes that can compare to this one. The home has a Central Vacuum System, a Termite Bond, and an Inside Wall Pest Control System, spacious side entry Garage, etc. If you are going out to take a look at homes in the Destin Area this is definitely one to put on your list!!!
