Description
Located on the historic site of the original Marler homestead—the founding family of Destin—this premier bayfront estate offers a rare combination of heritage, luxury, and modern resilience. Nestled on nearly an acre of Choctawhatchee Bay frontage, this private sanctuary was designed for the ultimate coastal lifestyle. Built in 2012 with hurricane-resistant ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) construction, the 3,091 sq. ft. residence is as sturdy as it is beautiful, featuring a full-house Generac generator and a geothermal HVAC system (2022) for maximum efficiency and peace of mind. The thoughtful interior boasts a split-bedroom floor plan with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, anchored by a gourmet kitchen with a large central island, walk-in pantry, and high-end finishes. Elegant architectural
Supplements: details like tray ceilings and a gas fireplace lead to a massive 28x20 Florida room that captures stunning water views. Outside, the gated 0.85-acre retreat offers roughly 100 feet of bay frontage, a private dock with immediate access to the East Pass and Crab Island, and a screened-in, heated gunite pool. The immaculate grounds are shaded by mature oaks and magnolias, complemented by new low-maintenance synthetic turf for a pristine look year-round. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Destin history with the modern comforts of an elite waterfront estate.
