Tucked within beautiful Crystal Beach, this fully updated residence boasts a private pool and no HOA. Taken back to the studs and meticulously renovated in 2022, the property consists of a two-story beach house and a carriage house with two separate en suites each with their own locked entry. Quality craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident throughout, from the high-impact windows and doors to the pristine chef's kitchen. Fully furnished, the property has five bedrooms including a bunk room, and 5.5 baths. Wood-tile flooring flows through the main house's first floor, which has a light open-concept floor plan. The well-appointed kitchen features white cabinets, a central island and natural wood shelving. Commercial-grade stainless steel appliances take care of everyday tasks, leaving you and your guests with the opportunity to enjoy every moment of your vacation. The spacious sitting area has a wall-mounted TV above the inset fireplace. It seamlessly segues into a dining area suitable for family meals and entertaining. A guest suite takes up the remainder of this level. Sliding glass doors open onto a peaceful terrace in the fenced front yard for enjoying cooling sea breezes and glimpses of the Gulf of Mexico. Upstairs, the king master suite shows off a sparkling bathroom with twin vanity and a frameless glass shower. There's also a spacious bunk room served by another bathroom. Head outdoors onto the elevated rear deck where the private pool creates a haven for relaxing and barbecues. The separate carriage house has two further bedrooms, one on each floor each with their own bathroom. There's a second laundry in the downstairs unit and the upstairs unit has a kitchenette amply equipped for rustling up a tasty breakfast before heading out for the day. Location is all-important, and this home is just steps from the stunning white sandy beach. Destin Commons offers endless shopping and dining experiences nearby, along with supermarkets, golf and Henderson Beach State Park.

How insights can help you

Interest rate

If the seller has a low interest rate, they may be tempted to rent the property out if they can't get the price they have in mind.

Motivation

If the seller already got a job in a different city, they may feel pressure to sell quickly to free up cash for a new home.

Equity

If the seller stands to receive a large amount of cash when they sell the property, they might be willing to negotiate on the offer price.
