Description

Situated in the low-density community of Emerald Waters Village, with a private beach access this well-maintained beach house is attractively presented. Fully furnished and benefiting from a recent facelift, this chic beach retreat has been newly painted throughout, creating a light, fresh ambiance. The home has great curb appeal with a small lawn and a paved driveway leading to a single-car garage. The covered front porch is tucked behind a green hedge, providing a private place to sit and relax. Double doors lead you directly into the open living room, which has a spacious L-shaped sitting area with tile floors. Picture yourself unwinding on the comfortable sofa, basking in the natural light that filters through the large windows, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The dining area segues into the kitchen with a row of high-back stools lined up at the breakfast bar. Wooden cabinetry and dark countertops are complemented by a full range of stainless steel appliances, including a French door refrigerator. A separate laundry provides additional out-of-sight storage and access to the backyard. The shady paver patio is the perfect spot to end the day with a family barbecue. There's space for dining together at the outdoor table and chairs. Four bedrooms and three full baths provide ample space for families and guests to spread out and enjoy the luxury of their own private space. The master bedroom is vast, with its own private balcony. Glass windows and French doors flood the space with natural light. The master bath is equally spacious with a single vanity, deep soaker tub and an oversized walk-in shower. Two additional king-size bedrooms are well proportioned and tastefully furnished. The fourth bedroom has ample space to accommodate a double and twin beds, making it ideal for families. Updates to the home include two newly replaced HVACs. This gated community has two neighborhood pools and is within easy walking distance to private beach access and local amenities including Publix and Starbucks. Convenient for spending time on the sugar-white sands of Miramar Beach, this beach retreat is well-located as a vacation home/rental. Previously rented out as a vacation rental, it grossed $62,000 in revenue last year with plenty of opportunity to increase earnings. It may also appeal as a full-time residence for families, being close to schools and local amenities. Nearby attractions include Destin Commons, live entertainment and local restaurants such as the popular Whale's Tail Beach Bar and Grill. Within easy reach of Topsail Hill Preserve State Park and Destin HarborWalk, this beach house encapsulates Miramar Beach living at its very best.
