251 Breakwater Boulevard Panama City Beach, FL 32413

Backing to a natural preserve and distinguished by more than $76,000 in builder-selected options and upgrades, this newly completed 2025 home offers an elevated take on the Hathaway floor plan. As the only finished two-story Hathaway currently available in gated Breakwater at Ward Creek, the three-bedroom, three-bath residence pairs 2,548 square feet with a first-floor primary suite, flex room, spacious upstairs loft and two-car garage.

Inside, an open layout is enhanced by wide-plank LVP flooring extending through the foyer, flex room, great room, kitchen, primary bedroom and closet, main staircase and upstairs loft. An upgraded open-rail staircase adds architectural interest while maintaining the home's light, airy feel. Recessed lighting, dimmer switches and thoughtfully placed electrical upgrades further refine the living spaces.

The kitchen makes a polished statement with Sinclair White cabinetry, Calacatta Miraggio Cove quartz countertops and a herringbone tile backsplash. A Kohler apron-front farmhouse sink, pot-and-pan drawer storage and an upgraded Whirlpool appliance package add both style and function, with a 36-inch five-burner gas cooktop, combination wall oven and third-rack dishwasher among the highlights. The first-floor primary suite provides a private retreat with a walk-in closet and a richly finished bath. Calacatta Miraggio Cove quartz tops the raised-height vanity while matte-black Kohler fixtures complement a frameless glass shower with full-height tile, a recessed niche and herringbone mosaic flooring. A flex room and full hall bath add versatility on the main level, while two additional bedrooms and a generous loft upstairs provide comfortable accommodations for guests, a media room or secondary living space. The secondary baths feature adult-height vanities with quartz tops and tile surrounds extending to the ceiling, while the laundry room includes additional cabinetry and a quartz countertop.

Designed to extend everyday living outdoors, a 9-by-8 multi-slide stacked glass door opens the great room to a screened covered lanai overlooking the preserve. The lanai is already roughed in for a future outdoor kitchen, making it easy to create a fully equipped entertaining space.

The Breakwater at Ward Creek community offers access to a pool, fitness center, playground, tennis and pickleball courts, along with convenient access to Panama City Beach, Pier Park and the white-sand beaches of the gulf. With its preserve setting, extensive designer upgrades and move-in-ready Hathaway floor plan, the property stands apart as a thoughtfully finished option for both full-time and second-home living.
