809 Harbor Ln, Destin, FL 32541

*Now priced $70k below recent appraisal value!* Welcome home to this extremely rare and desirable find in the heart of Destin. Nestled among the mature oak trees is Moreno Acres, home to oversized lots and private retreats--all while being within minutes of the best that ''The World's Luckiest Fishing Village'' has to offer. Live your best Destin life with quick access to boating, fishing, shopping, restaurants, and the Emerald Coast's famous beaches. Prepare to fall in love with this sprawling 3,813sqft home featuring 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, two living rooms, and an office on a 0.69 acre lot with NO HOA. Tucked between the Choctawhatchee Bay and Joe's Bayou, you have plenty of room to bring your boat and all your water sport equipment. Here is where you'll enjoy that Florida lifestyle--pop right over to the boat launch and be to Crab Island and the Destin Harbor in a heartbeat! The massive driveway wraps around charming oak trees and you'll immediately appreciate the picturesque and well cared for landscaping. Originally built in 1977 and extensively remodeled in 2001 and then again in 2006 with the addition of the master wing (featuring an additional bedroom, bath, and office in addition to the owner's suite) you will love this unique U-shaped design. Upon entering, you are immediately welcomed into a fantastic open space and massive sunken living room--the perfect spot for family gatherings! There's no cookie cutter construction to be found here, as this home is full of charm. Floor to ceiling windows face into the interior courtyard and the back patio, creating a wonderful flow between indoor/outdoor spaces. The two large living rooms and split floor plan offer the ability to accommodate and entertain to your heart's desire. On the right side of the home, you'll find two bedrooms bridged by a jack-n-jill bathroom, the interior laundry room, and the original master bedroom (large room w/ample closet space and a bathroom w/double vanities). Past the sunken living room to the left side of the house, you'll find the half bathroom and large kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless appliances, and two kitchen islands (large enough to fit 9 people). There's also room for your dining room table, or, through the french doors there is a flex room right off the kitchen that is currently being used as a gym. This could also be a great dining space with crown molding and chair rail molding (or use it for a larger office, playroom, game room, man cave, etc!). Continue on to find the second living room with a fireplace and built-in bookshelves, highlighted by the floor to ceiling windows and natural lighting facing the private fenced in backyard. Past the living room down the hallway you'll find an office, an additional bedroom with its own full bathroom, and then the owner's suite with a walk-in closet, double vanities, walk-in shower, separate soaking tub, and private water closet. You'll love relaxing in this space with easy access through the french doors to the backyard. There are multiple ways outside and in the backyard you'll find a fantastic space (plenty of room for a pool!) within a fully fenced in backyard and a large deck to enjoy shaded by mature oaks. There is also a two car garage with a workshop inside. Have peace of mind with a roof replaced in 2013 and newer systems: the two HVAC systems are 4 years and 9 years, and the two water heaters are 1 year and 6 years young. There is also a current termite bond. Conveniently located only 4 minutes to Destin Elementary School, also be sure to check out Destin High School, which is a local charter school, as an additional option if you have high school aged children! Don't delay on making this rare piece of "Old Destin" your own and enjoy the space (both inside and out) with no HOA restrictions in the heart of the town that people in other states dream about! Welcome home!
