This stunning Burnt Pine home is nearly new construction within an established community. Golfers will be in paradise with views of the 12th green and lake and access to four outstanding golf courses in the wider Sandestin community. Approached from a quiet, leafy street, this magnificent five-bedroom home has a brick-paved driveway cutting through the mature landscaping to a two-car garage. Beneath the slate roof, the stucco exterior is enhanced with decorative, yet practical, rain chains. Sheltering within a prominent covered porch, the steel front door opens into a foyer, leading into a huge great room with views of the pool and golf course glimpses beyond. On either side of the foyer, there's a spacious home office and a formal dining area for entertaining. Twelve-foot and vaulted ceilings create a great sense of space in the home. Fully appointed, the chef's kitchen has stainless appliances brandishing high end brands, including a 48-in. Wolf range, Bosch dishwasher, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. A pantry with a wine cooler and a separate laundry are tucked neatly out of sight. Quartz countertops grace two oversized islands; one for food prep and the other for casual dining and pre-dinner cocktails. The adjoining living space has soaring vaulted ceilings and a gas supplied brick fireplace. Wall accents and built-ins are all part of the upscale designer lighting and interior decor. Wood laminate flooring flows towards a bank of windows and doors leading to a courtyard with a private pool. Gushing water spouts add visual and aural effects. A built-in summer kitchen makes outdoor entertaining easy. Beyond the gate, an open grassy backyard offers green space for relaxing while mature podocarpus trees provide ample screening from the neighboring homes and a beautiful view corridor to the 12th green and lake. The split floor plan of the home puts the primary suite in a separate wing on one side of the house with three guest bedrooms and three bathrooms on the opposite side. The master suite is lavishly appointed with a stacked natural stone wall and custom wallpaper. Two custom closets have built-ins, while the opulent bathroom includes a freestanding tub, a tiled shower with dual shower heads and a twin vanity, all arranged beneath a glittering chandelier. Wood-tread stairs wind up to the second floor, a versatile space currently used as an additional bedroom. It boasts a walk-in closet, a generous sitting area and a private bathroom with shower. Sandestin is known for its outstanding amenities, including four golf courses, 15 tennis courts, and a state-of-the-art fitness center within the 2,400-acre complex. Head to the marina at Baytowne Wharf for boating, watersports and waterfront dining, or browse the boutiques and specialty shops within Baytown and Grand Boulevard. For a day at the nearby beach, take your golf cart through the tunnel under Hwy 98, or take a complimentary tram making the experience easy and hassle-free.
