    This Crystal Beach Beauty is back on the market by no fault of her own. She stood high and absolutely bone dry for Hurrican Helene, not even a drop of Bayou in the pool or first floor garages!

Now is the time to elevate your Florida lifestyle in this grand seaside sanctuary located in picturesque Crystal Beach. Throw open the double doors and be greeted with views from every floor of this 5 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom coastal masterpiece. Flooded in natural light and double the height with soaring 20 foot ceilings, the living room and family room house million dollar views of the bayou and beyond. Both rooms feature wood burning fireplaces surrounded by built-in cabinetry that offer warmth and ambience and ample space for entertaining both family and guests. A tastefully updated kitchen guarantees meals with supersized views and dons solid wood cabinetry, plenty of granite-clad counter space, stainless steel appliances, and large pantry. Split floor-plan bedrooms on the main level offer privacy for family members and guests alike, and includes an updated ensuite bedroom with walk-in closet. The home office raises the bar for any home work that must be done with its built-in cabinetry, French doors and custom upholstered window seat with hidden storage. Retreat upstairs to an opulent owner’s suite that encompasses the whole upper level and features “best-dressed” views from its private balcony. The spacious and stately primary bathroom is accessorized with gorgeous cabinetry, two walk-in closets, soaking tub, separate water closet and large walk-in shower.
