Description

Brand-new 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home in WaterSound Origins -- one of Scenic 30A's most celebrated gated communities in Inlet Beach, FL. This specially expanded new construction features soaring ceilings, rich engineered hardwood floors, and a chef's kitchen built for serious entertaining. The spa-inspired primary suite offers a luxurious walk-in shower and panoramic lake and nature preserve views. An oversized covered porch frames breathtaking Emerald Coast sunsets -- and the pool-ready lot means the backyard you've been imagining is entirely within reach. New construction quality. Gated community. Expanded floor plan. Lake views. This is the 30A address that checks every box. Minutes from Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, Seaside, and the white sand beaches of South Walton County.

Supplements: Some homes check boxes. This one raises the bar. From the moment you step through the grand entry foyer, the difference is unmistakable -- soaring ceilings, rich engineered hardwood floors underfoot, and a level of finish that simply doesn't show up at this price point on Scenic 30A. The specially expanded floor plan lives larger than its footprint suggests, with a seamless flow from entry to living to dining that makes every gathering -- Sunday breakfast or a dinner party for twenty -- feel completely effortless. The chef's kitchen is the undisputed heart of the home. Designed for real entertaining, it delivers the counter space, storage, and layout that weekend hosts dream about, without sacrificing the warmth and functionality that make everyday cooking a pleasure. Every finish, every fixture, every detail was chosen with intention -- craftsmanship you feel the moment you walk in and notice more the longer you stay. The primary suite redefines what a bedroom can be on 30A. A true spa-inspired sanctuary with a luxurious walk-in shower, sleek rimless glass enclosure, dual vanities, and panoramic windows framing uninterrupted views of the lake and nature preserve. Wake up to that view every morning and the word 'ordinary' stops applying to your life. All three full bathrooms carry the same standard -- beautifully tiled, thoughtfully appointed, nothing left as an afterthought. The outdoor setting is where this home becomes something else entirely. The oversized covered back porch was positioned perfectly -- lake views, nature preserve, towering longleaf pines, and those Emerald Coast sunsets that make people fall in love with 30A in the first place. The lot is generously sized with ample room for a custom pool, making this one of the few new construction homes in WaterSound Origins where the outdoor living potential is truly unrestricted. This is the backyard that 30A buyers spend years looking for. Living in WaterSound Origins means resort-quality amenities come with the address. HOA membership covers access to multiple pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center, tennis courts, and pickleball courts -- and, perhaps most distinctively, the WaterSound Origins Golf Course, a beautifully designed par-3 layout winding through preserved wetlands and longleaf pine forest. Beyond that, dock access at Lake Powell -- one of Florida's rarest and largest coastal dune lakes -- miles of walking and biking trails, and the scenic Monarch Art Trail make the community itself a daily destination. For residents who want to go further, an optional Watersound Club membership is available. The Watersound Beach Club offers over 1,000 feet of private Gulf-front beach with two zero-entry pools, poolside cabanas, and concierge-level service. The Camp Creek campus adds a 12,000-square-foot wellness and fitness center, three dining venues, resort pools, 8 Har-Tru clay tennis courts, and 8 pickleball courts. Golf access spans three championship courses: Camp Creek (Tom Fazio), Shark's Tooth (Greg Norman), and The Third. Ask your agent for current membership details. Location is the third reason this home makes sense. Inlet Beach sits at the eastern gateway of Scenic Highway 30A, minutes from Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, and Seacrest Beach -- with an easy bike or walk along the multi-use path to the Rosemary Beach farmers' market. Head west and the whole corridor opens up: Seaside, WaterColor, Seagrove Beach, Grayton Beach, Blue Mountain Beach. The Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport is 16 miles away -- a direct connection for buyers relocating from Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas, or Houston. Destin's harbor is a short drive west. Watersound Town Center -- Publix, Starbucks, restaurants, and medical -- is within walking distance. Everything you need, nothing in the way.
