About This Home
AS-IS opportunity in a prime Destin location, just minutes from Destin HarborWalk Village, Destin's sugar-white beaches, and Eglin AFB. This property offers exceptional potential for buyers willing to look past current clutter and cosmetic needs. Photos are from a prior listing and do not reflect the home's present condition. The seller is actively in the process of moving out, and the home requires cleanup and updates. The floor plan is well suited for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring an open kitchen that flows into the main living area, plus a tiled rear sunroom with a bathroom that opens directly to the screened pool area--ideal for poolside gatherings. The primary suite includes an updated oversized walk-in tile shower, double vanity, and a spacious walk-in closet. A major highlight is the large detached garage/workshop, offering ample room for boats, RVs, or multiple vehicles, along with space for hobbies or storage. This structure also presents future potential for conversion into additional living space, office, or guest quarters (buyer to verify). Located near Joe's Bayou boat launch, this home delivers location, flexibility, and long-term upside for the right buyer.
