About This Home

As of September 2025

Built with the highest quality Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction, 437 Admiral Court is a palatial estate located on a quiet lake in Regatta Bay, Destin's premier gated golf course community. This custom-built home boasts some of the highest quality finishes that can be found on the Emerald Coast; the exterior is adorned with pecky cypress corbels, ipe decking, a commercial-grade space heater, outdoor chef's kitchen, screened-in lanai, and an Italian
tumbled paver driveway. The impeccable quality of materials extends to the interior of the home
which is highlighted by custom mahogany kitchen cabinetry, a stunning mahogany-panelled
home office, imported Calcutta marble flooring, a Eurowall that connects the indoor and outdoor
living areas, walk-in butler's pantry temperature controlled wine storage, and a THX-certified
home cinema with seating for eight along with a separate kitchen. The home also has a geothermal heating & cooling system and high-end appliances such as a 63" SubZero refrigerator, 48" Wolf Range, & a commercial grade steam room in the primary suite.

The curb appeal of 437 Admiral Court is unmatched with carefully curated landscaping, gorgeous imported Italian tumbled stone paver driveway, three-car garage, a 15' grand archway framed with gas lanterns, and pecky cypress corbels adorning the garage and street-facing exterior walls.

Upon entering the home, you're greeted with Calcutta marble flooring, and a tranquil indoor water feature that's framed by a 15' barreled ceiling. The fresco-painted dining area exudes
refined elegance and coastal charm, while the 30' ceiling in the grand sitting room is reminiscent of the nobility and refinement of the Renaissance era.The entire home is wired with fiber optic
cable and smart home technology, so it combines old world beauty with modern technology and convenience. Past the dining room is the built-in mahogany bar complete with a glass-encased
& temperature controlled wine room that's perfect for displaying rare vintages. The bar seamlessly connects to the kitchen via a cross vaulted ceiling. The kitchen boasts custom mahogany cabinets, Wolf & SubZero appliances, and a walk-in butler's pantry all framed by
striking Siena marble countertops. The kitchen & living room combine to create an ideal space for entertaining, and the Eurowall that adjoins the living room and outdoor area makes it an
even more dynamic space.

When your guests step outside the Eurowall they'll be greeted by stunning Ipe flooring, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, outdoor gas fireplace, and a 20'x15' heated pool complete with waterfall features. The outdoor seating area also features a commercial grade heater so that the space can be utilized year-round.

The first floor has an ideal bedroom layout for privacy; the master wing occupies the majority of the right side of the home and there's a separate full guest suite off the garage on the opposite
side of the house. This guest suite essentially functions like an attached carriage house because it has its own side door entrance, and it's also directly adjacent to both the garage and
the sizable walk-in laundry room. The master suite is a masterclass in luxury complete with a private wet bar, heated marble
flooring in the bathroom, a commercial grade steam room, two separate full-sized vanities, walk-through shower, and a zero-edge jacuzzi spa. The master suite also has a private fireplacethat frames a sitting area with views of the pool and the lake. The two walk-in closets are accented with custom built-in cabinetry and a sizable Carrara marble & mahogany island.

The grand staircase serves as a focal point in the home & crescendos with a Juliette balcony that's positioned to enjoy views of the custom-painted medallion ceiling that's inlaid with twinkling fiber-optic lighting. The home is equipped with an elevator as well. The second level guest suites each have their own full baths attached as well as walk-in closets. The THX-certified home cinema system is outfitted with the highest quality sound and visual systems. It also has an attached full bathroom, guest suite, and its own kitchen.

437 Admiral Court truly has some of the highest quality construction materials and finishes of any home on the Emerald Coast. No expense was spared and every detail is a marvel. Schedule your private tour of this 2010 Parade of Homes award winning masterpiece today.
