PRICED TO SELL! MOTIVATED SELLER HAS JUST REDUCED AND IT WON'T LAST LONG! Fabulous custom home directly on the sugar white sand beaches of the Emerald Coast in desirable Crystal Beach. Situated on 67 feet of beachfront, this could very well be the perfect beach house! A well though out floor plan, finely appointed with 10 foot ceilings throughout, Mexican limestone floors, marble baths and counters, granite kitchen counters and bar, crown molding, recessed and art lighting. Professionally decorated with a bright, Caribbean flair, Casa de Palmas is a tropical oasis, with lush landscaping and over 50 swaying palm trees and an impressive grand entrance of cast stone tile, columns and balustrades. From the entrance foyer catch your first view of the emerald green waters of the Gulf custom built-ins, elevator carriage, and a large, hand painted wet bar with compact refrigerator, ice maker and seating overlooking the Gulf and the pool. A floor plan with a great traffic flow makes this home perfect as a primary residence, second home or as an investment property with proven rental history and impressive income! No detail was overlooked! The very spacious kitchen and dining area will surely be the gathering place, and the cook in the family will love the granite counters, abundant cabinet storage, double gas cook tops, Subzero refrigerator, Thermadore double ovens, large walk-in pantry. On the second level is the grand master suite, with large balcony, a morning kitchen, fireplace, two walk-in closets and luxurious master bath with separate walk-in shower and Jacuzzi tub overlooking the Gulf. There is a second master also on this level. On the third level are two additional ensuite bedrooms, a morning kitchen and a large Gulf front balcony. Getting those beach towels washed and ready for another day by the pool and the beach will be a breeze, with a first level laundry room and a stackable washer and dryer on the third level. The guest house is above the two car garage and features a living area, full kitchen, washer and dryer, bedroom, a full bath and a balcony. It's easily reached from the main house via a covered walkway. Private beach walkover, Gulfside pool and patio. Relax on one of the beachfront porches or balconies, savor the fabulous views of the world's most beautiful beaches, take in an Emerald Coast sunset....and wonder.....what would Jimmy Buffet do.....
