NEW ROOF in April 2024 with secondary water barrier and wind mitigation inspection report available. Sitting on a landscaped half-acre lot, and close to everything including the beach, this one-of-a-kind Kelly Plantation property has it all. Nestled into the foliage adjacent to the 8th hole of Kelly Plantation golf course and backing up to a lake, this four-bed, five and one half bath, 6,020-sq.-ft. home provides a sense of serenity while enjoying all the benefits of being within a gated community. This custom-built home showcases outstanding architecture and meticulous attention to detail at every turn. Step into the grand entrance of double mahogany doors and a 27-foot ceiling foyer. An elegant wooden arched staircase with wrought-iron balustrade winds upwards to the second floor. Check out the walnut paneled two-story study complete with a 'secret room,' ample bookcases for a home library, a bonus office and additional storage within a large closet. A second office with built-in desk, a multi-use beverage center with copper sink, powder and laundry rooms are also located on the first floor. Upstairs the oversized media room is tucked beneath the roofline with heavy blackout drapes perfect for movie night. Six indoor and one outdoor fireplace adds eye-catching focal points to the main rooms and creates cozy warmth on cooler evenings along with four HVAC units. The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped for entertaining with a Versailles-worthy double oven and hood in a unique brick surround. Few homes boast four pantries, but this home does. One of the pantry doors and its hardware date back to 1700s France, creating an interesting talking point. Back in the 21st century, Viking, Bosch, Subzero and Fisher & Paykel appliances include four fridges, two sinks, icemakers, microwaves, a trash compactor and two dishwashers to ensure that even the largest gatherings run smoothly. Four bedrooms could all be classed as master suites with deep coffered ceilings, large ensuite baths and walk-in closets. Upstairs, two guest suites share a covered porch with incredible lake and golf views. The large primary bathroom features a spa tub, heated porcelain tile floors, a separate shower with three shower heads and substantial walk-in closet adjoining the laundry room. A first-floor mother-in-law suite has its own kitchenette complete with microwave and beverage cooler, and a separate mahogany door entrance allowing it to be used for independent family members, if desired. Step outdoors onto the screened terrace and take in the tranquil views of the lake and golf course from the shady pool house. The bubbling 30-by-14 pool offers a refreshing place to cool off and unwind after a challenging game of tennis or golf. A three-car garage includes hurricane-proof doors, and a security camera system is active and accessible on a phone app. Large open terraces and a screened porch provide multiple spaces for dining, relaxing and entertaining. New owners will find golf, tennis, pickleball, basketball, pools, clubs and entertainment are readily available nearby along with a recently remodeled Owners Club. Across from the back gate of Kelly Plantation is Destin Middle School and less than a mile from the front gate is the new Destin High School. All this, along with the best Destin dining, shopping and entertainment just a short drive or golf cart ride away.
