VERY MOTIVATED SELLER - SIGNIFICANT PRICE IMPROVEMENT + 2/1 BUYDOWN or CLOSING COST CREDIT - 30 DAY OPPORTUNITY! After careful consideration, the seller has reduced his asking price dramatically and is offering buyer incentives for the next 30 days to create a rare, time-sensitive opportunity for qualified buyers. Now offered at $1,825,000 - the seller not only shaved a dramatic $125,000 from his price, for the next 30 days only (ends July 19th), the seller will make available a 2/1 interest rate buy-down (or equivalent closing cost credit) for any offer accepted by July 19, 2026. This incentive is available for a short window only, then the improved price stands on its own. This is your chance to own one of Regatta Bay's finest addresses at an exceptional value. We have had at least 40 qualified Open House and Private viewings. If you have looked at this home before, look again. The value proposition just changed dramatically. The buydown meaningfully reduces your first two years of payment - ask your agent for details. This is not a spec house. This is a vision brought to life -- a collaboration between a discerning homeowner and celebrated builder Ronnie McGee, whose architectural artistry and meticulous craftsmanship have defined luxury living throughout the Emerald Coast. From the moment you approach the custom-designed, double-arched wrought iron front entry doors, you sense this home is different. Step through the foyer and let the soaring barrel ceiling draw you forward -- an immediate statement that nothing here was left to chance. You flow naturally into the living room, where three dramatic architectural beams stretch across the high ceilings, anchored by custom built-in shelves and cabinetry that are as beautiful as they are functional. These are not afterthoughts -- they are integral to McGee's vision of spaces that inspire. A HOME THAT TELLS ITS STORY THROUGH DETAIL Where others see walls, McGee saw canvas. Select spaces throughout the home -- including the formal dining room, the great room, and the primary ensuite -- are adorned with exquisite metallic impressions and textured finishes that shift with the light, creating an ever-changing interplay of depth and luminescence. Art that lives with you. The formal dining room sets the tone for gracious entertaining. The designer office and den -- a private, thoughtfully appointed retreat on the main floor -- speaks to the buyer who works with intention and values a dedicated space that reflects their standards. Crown molding flows beautifully from room to room, a refined thread that connects every space in the home. A KITCHEN DESIGNED FOR THE CULINARY ENTHUSIAST The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream: a professional-grade Thor six-burner gas range with griddle, GE Profile refrigerator, and whisper-quiet Bosch dishwasher. The space flows seamlessly through a sophisticated wet bar near the entry -- setting the stage for effortless entertaining -- and into the family area, creating the true heart of the home where culinary creativity meets comfortable conversation. A sun-drenched breakfast nook with direct access to the lanai invites morning light and sweeping views of the 4th green and fairway. This is the spot you will return to every single day. WELLNESS BY DESIGN -- DESIGNED FOR LIFE, NOT JUST LIVING Every square foot of this 4,050-square-foot home serves a purpose. McGee's guiding philosophy -- leave nothing unusable -- manifests throughout: a central vacuum system, tankless water heater, abundant storage, and a study nook tucked thoughtfully down the hall. The floor plan reflects what today's design world calls wellness living -- intentional zoning that honors the rhythms of daily life. The primary ensuite is a sanctuary unto itself: a three-tier drop-down ceiling with exquisite crown molding creates an atmosphere of calm luxury. Positioned near the heart of the home yet privately tucked away, the primary suite opens directly to the lanai -- where the 4th hole becomes your personal vista, equally suited to morning solitude or afternoon entertaining with friends. The second ensuite bedroom anchors the main level with quiet elegance, while a private ensuite bedroom upstairs provides the perfect retreat for guests, teenagers, or multigenerational family seeking their own sanctuary. Every bedroom, its own world. PRACTICAL LUXURY, EXTRAORDINARILY EXECUTED Built in 2018 with intention and foresight, this home offers dual two-car garages -- four total bays, a true rarity that speaks to practical luxury. PLus, these garage doors are storm-rated, set in recessed tracks - peace of mind built into every elevation. Space for the cars, the gear, and the golf cart. Yes -- a golf cart is included, giving you effortless access to Regatta Bay's marina, neighborhood amenities, shopping, waterfront dining, and the beautiful Destin beaches just minutes away. Modern conveniences are woven throughout -- but it is the irreplaceable details that define this home: the artisan wall finishes, the custom wrought iron entry doors, the barrel-vaulted foyer, the architectural ceiling beams, the crown molding that flows from room to room, impact-rated windows and glass sliders, and the sight lines and flow that only come from true collaboration between builder and client. This is what custom-built means: a home designed not for everyone -- but for someone who recognizes the extraordinary. Schedule your private showing and discover the Regatta Bay home where architectural vision meets everyday elegance -- and where the Emerald Breeze will lead you home.
