Step inside to elevated ceilings with white-washed brick masonry accent wall, luxury moldings and trim, hand scraped wood floors inspired by coastal driftwood... and a wall of windows offering unparalleled views of the bay. While the home offers 3 kitchens (continued) the second-floor primary kitchen boasts white cabinetry with soft-close features, luxury quartz with striking veining, subway tile backsplash, quartz island with built-in accent shelving, mini walk-in pantry with custom shelving, etched/frosted glass pantry door... and Fisher & Paykel appliances.

Sliders lead to a 2nd story balcony that spans the entire width of the home and includes slip-rated porcelain tile flooring and frameless glass safety railing curated to complement (never detract) from the waterfront vista. The designer also added white-washed Floridian pine tongue and groove ceiling (above each balcony) and redesigned the outdoor staircase leading to each floor. There is a guest bedroom on the second floor with a coastal-inspired color palette, crown molding, spacious closets, wood floors, bay views and a neighboring travertine bathroom that includes Italian-inspired custom walk-in shower with glass enclosure and granite bench seating. Your journey to the lower or upper level begins with a choice; ascend the elegant staircase or enjoy the convenience of a private elevator.

The third floor is home to two luxurious master suites and a beautifully appointed guest bedroom. The primary master suite offers elevated sophistication and STUNNING VIEWS. The owner added a touch of whimsy with designer bubble lighting... her nod to the coastal waters and nautical vibe. She also added an owner's lounge area, built-in shoe gallery, walk-in closet with custom storage and serene ensuite.

A custom outdoor shower adds convenience and a resort-inspired touch after a day on the water. The outdoor kitchen is connected to a drive-through garage, maximizing coastal airflow and providing convenience for storage, boating equipment, golf carts and outdoor gear. The property's most impressive transformation is the backyard renovation. The owners expanded the usable yard 6 feet and reinforced the shoreline with a professionally engineered riprap seawall. They also installed an underground drainage system, complete with 4-inch drain lines from yard to bay. From there, they added a stucco privacy wall with aluminum gate and landscape lighting. The dock was renovated with 14 new pilings, new lighting, a fish cleaning station with power and water, jet ski lift and an upgraded 10,000-pound boat lift, a must when you are less than 10 minutes from the pass and directly across from protected Air Force beach. Bonus:Manatees, Dolphins and the Regatta make a weekly appearance. Finally, the owner designed a resort-style heated saltwater pool featuring PebbleTec finish with leathered marble coping, 3 waterfalls, 3 water shears, dual sun shelves, bench seating spanning the entire length, an oversized 20-person spa... all surrounded by low maintenance "infinity turf"... the perfect spot to watch the various nightly fireworks displays put on by Destin and Fort Walton Beach (Wednesday through Saturday). Countless design upgrades and revisions transformed this home (too many to list) and the result is a one-of-a-kind waterfront coastal experience. Now, the owners invite the next stewards to embrace and enjoy this extraordinary lifestyle... but the clock is ticking. Better hurry!

Few properties on Florida's Emerald Coast can claim what 11 Paradise Point Road delivers: a private covered boathouse with a full boat slip, over an acre of waterfront land, and direct access to Choctawhatchee Bay. Set at the corner where Garnier Bayou meets Poquito Bayou in historic Shalimar, this is the kind of lot that simply does not come available. Water on two sides, a seawall running the full length of the property, and a manicured lawn sweeping to the shoreline beneath a canopy of generational live oaks. The boathouse is deep, protected, and ready for daily use, whether that means a morning run to Destin Harbor, an afternoon on the open bay, an evening on the sandbar, or simply fishing off the dock at golden hour. For those who live on the water, this property was built for it. The setting carries history as well as beauty. Shalimar takes its motto from the water itself -- 'By the Beautiful Water' -- and the small bayou town has held to that founding character for nearly eighty years. Platted in the 1940s and quietly anchored along Garnier and Poquito Bayous, Shalimar has retained the same shaded streets and shoreline rhythm while the rest of the Emerald Coast grew up around it. Live oaks arch over the lanes, the gentle tides of the bayou shape the shore, and life here remains close to the water. The estate spans 6,591 square feet across three thoughtfully designed stories. A circular paver driveway winds through mature oaks and palms to a stately coastal Southern facade: grey board-and-batten siding, a standing seam metal roof, soaring white columns, and a covered wraparound porch finished in stone tile with open water views. Inside, a grand great room anchors the main level, with walls of French doors opening to the waterfront porch. Hardwood floors, beadboard ceilings, and crown molding carry throughout. The kitchen features granite countertops, warm wood cabinetry, and stainless appliances. A billiard room, formal dining space, and full laundry room complete the level. The primary suite offers direct bayou views, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. A sweeping second-floor balcony delivers panoramic views of both bayous. The third floor houses a private observatory above the treeline. Two gas fireplaces, multiple patio areas, a firepit, and attached garage complete this exceptional offering, all within close proximity to Destin and Fort Walton Beach.
