Located in desirable Botany Bayou, this 4BR custom-built home offers privacy and seclusion but the convenience of being located close to shopping, water sports, golf, and tennis. Outside, the perfectly manicured landscaping frames the solid brick construction of the exterior. Inside, a series of arches, accented with columns, flows through the foyer into the large great room and into the formal dining area. Lofty ceilings throughout, ranging from 12 to 15 feet, convey a sense of spaciousness. The kitchen has corian counter tops, cherry wood cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. Brazilian cherry wood flooring creates a feeling of warmth throughout the kitchen, casual dining, and formal dining room. The great room is oversized with a gas fireplace at it center. The comfortable master suite is beautifully appointed: fireplace, walk-in closet with built-ins, spacious bathroom with jacuzzi tub, separate shower, and cherrywood cabinets. The 30 x 15 foot heated/cooled sun-room traverses the back of the home and consists of vaulted ceilings and three walls of windows that provide an excellent view of the private back yard. A grilling porch adjoining this room would make any chef happy. The neighborhood, Botany Bayou, is an gated waterfront community that has been etched out of the serene Santa Rosa Beach forest. The neighborhood has a community dock on Hewitt Bayou as well as a community pool.
