CAREFREE waterfront living on a protected deep-water lot with 166' on Rocky Bayou!! This charming home is located on a private .68-acre lot on Rocky Bayou with panoramic views across the bayou from the Rocky Bayou bridge out towards Choctawhatchee Bay. Along with a HUGE yard, this home also comes with a double seawall as well as a dock with both a boathouse and a sailboat slip. The home was renovated in 2015 with the addition of a large kitchen, family room, dining room, office and master suite downstairs that offer captivating water views that take your breath away!! The kitchen is a chefs dream with an abundance of custom cabinets, beautiful granite counter tops, stainless appliances, a walk-in pantry and a large island breakfast bar. The kitchen is open to the family room accented with gorgeous wood ceiling beams that complement the hardwood floors and beautiful granite fireplace. The dining room is open to both the family room and kitchen and can accommodate oversized furniture. Just down the hall, you will find an office with double pocket doors for privacy. Adjacent to that is the master suite offering amazing bayou views and pampering you with a luxurious bath featuring 2 vanities, a jetted tub, a walk-in shower and a walk-in closet. Both the master bedroom and family room have doors to the screened porch where you will spend countless hours enjoying the gorgeous sunrise in the morning, the gentle bayou breeze in the afternoon and the spectacular moonrise at night! Upstairs you will find another large master suite overlooking the bayou with two walk in closets and a private bath. There is also a convenient loft area as well as two additional bedrooms and another full bath. One of the upstairs bedrooms was expanded and offers a large sitting area as well as a walk-in closet.

Enjoy life on the bayou by enjoying the views from the back deck, sitting around the firepit, having a bar-b-q on the paver patio or sipping a cup of coffee on the screened porch while watching the sun rise. The dock offers a kayak platform as well as a covered boathouse and a boat slip for a sailboat. The property is protected by a seawall with rip-rap and a retaining wall as well. This is the trifecta of waterfront properties...1. Protected DEEP water, 2. AMAZING views and 3. NO FLOOD INSURANCE required because of the elevation of the lot!
