4700 Ocean Blvd Destin, FL 32541

One-of-a-kind showplace directly on the Gulf. Situated on the most westerly and largest Gulf-front home site in the exclusive, gated neighborhood of Destiny by the Sea, 4700 Ocean Blvd surpasses all other homes on the Destin coastline. This masterpiece residence optimizes the best views that the Gulf coast has to offer with 172' of unobstructed beachfront. The only true, four-story house on the Gulf in Destiny by the Sea, the fourth floor features an open deck with elevated hot tub, outdoor kitchen as well as a heated and cooled relaxation/game room with wet bar and full bath. Its sprawling 8800 square feet of living space encompasses seven master suites, the largest of which dominates the entire third floor and features its own private, covered terrace overlooking the Gulf. Just inside the front door, a graceful, free-standing curved staircase with hand-wrought balustrade and striking arcade of reverse arches and barrel vaults greet and guide you into the heart of the home. Travertine stone blankets the floors which carry throughout the open great room with living and dining areas, and gourmet kitchen. The living and dining areas are visually separated from one another by an island with fireplace and wet bar. An additional fireplace appoints the living area. A two-car garage with extra-high bay doors and ceiling, finished with wainscoting, leads into a generous laundry and butler's pantry, and into the kitchen. Floor to ceiling glass doors and windows draw your attention to the sand and surf that lay just steps away down a private beach walkover. A transitional pool room with fireplace blurs the boundary between indoors and out, creating extra outdoor entertaining space centering on a private salt-water pool with infinity edge hot tub, shooting fountains and fiber optic lighting. A guest suite with impressive private bath, featuring a rain head shower completes the ground floor. On the second floor are four master suites, all of which feature their own fireplace and private access to the covered, Gulf-front terrace. Each has its own unique bath with special stone and fixture selections. Each piece of granite is hand selected from around the world. Copious use of layered molding creates a decadent, luxe atmosphere. The third floor is devoted solely to the home's most masterful master suite. A spacious sleeping chamber overlooking the Gulf is separated from a sitting room by a two-sided fireplace with television hook-up overhead. Built-in cabinetry in the sitting room cloak a wet bar. An office with private terrace, private laundry and storage area complete the east wing of the suite. On the opposite side is a truly lavish bathroom. It features a double vanity, jetted tub with heater and chromatherapy system, walk-in steam shower, private water closet and duvet. The bath itself features a north-facing balcony overlooking Lake Destiny with views west down the Destin coastline, as well as access to the Gulf-front terrace. On the fourth floor is a remarkable roof-top deck with stunning views west towards the Destin Harbour and east towards Sandestin. Fireworks can be seen from every direction over Fourth of July. This all-steel constructed home was specially engineered to carry the load of a large hot tub, perched atop a pedestal on the roof deck. All four floors are accessed by stair, as well as by a residential elevator. The central vacuum system incorporates suctioning kick-plates in high traffic areas.
