Description

Welcome to your slice of paradise in Emerald Lakes, one of Destin's most established and beautifully maintained gated communities. With peaceful lakes, manicured landscaping, and a quiet neighborhood feel, Emerald Lakes offers a lifestyle that's both relaxing and convenient. As you step inside, you're greeted by soaring 12-foot ceilings, detailed crown molding, and an open layout that flows easily from room to room. The living area features a cozy gas fireplace and large windows that showcase serene lake views, filling the space with natural light and a sense of calm. Just off the living room, the kitchen offers granite countertops, ample cabinet storage, and a breakfast nook that overlooks the lake. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a quiet morning or connect with family. From there, step into the oversized screened-in porch where you can unwind with coffee at sunrise or relax in the evening with a glass of wine as the sun sets over the water. The home features two primary suites, each with its own ensuite bathroom. The main suite is a peaceful retreat with tray ceilings, calming lake views, dual vanities, a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and a spacious walk-in closet. The second primary suite provides comfort and privacy for guests or extended family with its own full bath. A third bedroom offers additional flexibility for a home office, nursery, or bonus space and includes access to a third full bathroom. A large two-car garage adds even more functionality to the home with space for parking, storage, or beach and golf gear. Emerald Lakes features community amenities including a renovated pool, pickleball and basketball courts, and an updated playground. These are all just a short walk from your front door but far enough away to maintain peace and quiet at home. The location is hard to beat. You're only minutes from Destin Commons, Whole Foods, public beach access, and over 20 restaurants within a few miles. Golf lovers will appreciate being just one neighborhood over from Emerald Bay Golf Club, one of the top-rated courses on the Emerald Coast. Other nearby options include Regatta Bay, Kelly Plantation, and Indian Bayou. This home blends comfort, quality, and location in one of Destin's most desirable communities.
