1378 Sunset Beach Drive, Niceville FL 32578

EXCEPTIONAL custom built waterfront home with endless panoramic bay views in Bluewater Bay's exclusive community of Sunset Beach. Upon entering this fine home, you are captivated by the stunning bay views flowing through the two large 3-panel sliding glass doors. The open floorplan was thoughtfully designed to maximize the bay views while still offering separate living areas. The wide, elegant foyer opens to the sitting room and living room beyond. The cozy family room to the right features a fireplace plumbed for gas and a charming window seat overlooking the bay. To the left you will find a large formal dining room as well as an informal breakfast room. All of these living areas have high ceilings, limestone floors and unrestricted bay views! The efficient, modern kitchen features new stainless appliances, custom 42 inch cabinets and solid surface counters. There are two master suites in this home, one on each level. The downstairs master suite in the front of the house offers views of one of the Sunset Beach lakes. The upstairs master suite opens to a large 33'x14' balcony overlooking gorgeous Choctawhatchee Bay. In addition to the upstairs master suite, there is also a guest suite with a private full bath and a balcony overlooking the lake. There is a loft area upstairs as well. The inside of this home is amazing but waterfront living is all about the the outside! Along the rear of the home is a spectacular pavered patio surrounded by a retaining wall built in 2006 that was engineered to offer the most storm protection possible. In addition to this wall, there are also two seawalls with rip rap providing additional protection for the property. The private dock leads to a boat slip just waiting for your boat. This home was built in 1996 but lives like it is new! It has been meticulously maintained and upgraded to include hurricane rated windows and sliders (2011), exterior elastomeric paint (2010), HVAC systems (2009 & 2010), stainless appliances (2012), balcony floor replaced with a pitched "cool crete" surface (2008). The Sunset Beach association fee covers all grounds keeping and use of the association clubhouse and gorgeous private pool just down the street. Whether you are looking for a 2nd home or a permanent residence in paradise, this is the home you have been waiting for!
