WATERFRONT home on a .8-acre lot with 146' on the protected deep water of Shirks Bayou with incredible views out towards the Choctawhatchee Bay. This one-owner home was custom built by Gary Miller Homes and was ''expanded'' in 1993 to include a unique ''tower'' built by Barton Homes. A long, private driveway leads you to this all brick home nestled in a low maintenance natural setting. When you enter this home through the foyer, you find yourself in the dining room that is open to the living room but what captures your eye is the graceful, floating, curved staircase leading to the upstairs! The raised ceiling in these rooms let in an abundance of natural light. Adjacent to these rooms is the eat-in kitchen that is open to the cozy family room that shares a two-sided fireplace with the liv room. The kitchen was updated in 2014 to include custom cabinets, granite counters and stainless appliances. Next to the family room is the "office tower" with a private entrance to the outside. On the other side of the house is the master suite with a luxurious bath that was updated in 2016 to include a soaking tub and separate shower. Upstairs you will find TWO additional bedroom suites, each with private baths and the upstairs "tower" room that has a variety of uses including a 4th bedroom! There is a door leading from the tower room to the "observation deck" on top of the tower. From here you have amazing sunset views over Shirks Bayou and out to the Choctawhatchee Bay. There is a large, multi-level paver patio along the rear of the house overlooking the natural back yard. A winding path leads you down to the seawall and deep water dock. Homes like this on protected deep water don't come on the market too often so don't miss out on your chance to make your waterfront dreams come true!!
