Positioned along the pristine Gulf shoreline in Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, this beautifully updated residence in Southwinds offers a rare combination of breathtaking beachfront views, refined coastal style, and the privacy of one of Sandestin's premier nonrental condominium buildings. Thoughtfully renovated throughout, the residence embraces a light and airy aesthetic that perfectly complements the stunning Gulf backdrop visible from nearly every main living space. A wall of glass sliders frame sweeping views of the emerald water while filling the open-concept living and dining area with natural light, creating an effortless connection between the indoors and the gulf beyond. From the main living spaces and sprawling private balcony, enjoy remarkable panoramic views stretching miles down the coastline all the way to the East Pass in Destin, creating a constantly evolving backdrop of shimmering water, white sand, and unforgettable sunsets. The recently updated kitchen serves as both a functional workspace and a striking design feature, complete with new custom cabinetry, quartzite countertops, a statement range hood, and bright coastal finishes that elevate the space without sacrificing warmth or comfort. New wood-look luxury vinyl plank flooring flows throughout the residence, enhancing the relaxed yet polished feel of the home. The spacious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with fabulous Gulf views and a beautifully re-imagined spa-like bath featuring a custom tile shower and thoughtfully selected finishes. Two additional guest suites each feature en suite bathrooms with custom tile showers, providing both luxurious comfort and privacy for family and guests. Currently configured as a home office, the third bedroom retains its en suite bath and could easily transition back to a traditional bedroom depending on your needs. One of Southwinds' most distinctive features is its private, owner-focused atmosphere. As a rental-restricted beachfront building, Southwinds offers a quieter and more residential coastal experience that is increasingly difficult to find along the Emerald Coast. Owners enjoy access to a private Gulf-front pool and a stretch of beach reserved exclusively for residents and guests. Association dues include beach chair and umbrella setup service, allowing owners to simply arrive, connect with the dedicated beach attendants, and enjoy effortless days on the sand without the hassle of hauling gear or arranging with rental companies. Spanning over 2,400 acres from the bay to the beach, Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort offers abundant amenities including championship golf courses, tennis and pickleball, biking and hiking trails, a 210-slip full-service marina, and the vibrant Baytowne Wharf for dining, activities, and shopping. Grand Boulevard, featuring restaurants, retail shopping, Starbucks, a movie theater, and Publix Grocery, is just a short golf-cart ride away. Whether envisioned as a full-time beachfront residence or an elegant coastal retreat, this exceptional Southwinds residence offers a rare opportunity to enjoy Gulf-front living in one of Sandestin's most sought-after and tightly held beachfront communities, where privacy, comfort, and timeless coastal beauty come together effortlessly.
