Priced to sell, this bayfront home in Kelly Plantation comes with a private boat dock, a large pool, generous outdoor entertaining space and two oversized living areas (one up and one down). The generous lot has 135 feet of prime waterfront with panoramic views across Choctawhatchee Bay. A three-car garage with arched doorways echoes the architectural style of the colonnaded front porch. Shallow steps lead up to the grand front entrance and foyer, where beautiful travertine marble flooring is laid on the diagonal, adding to the Italian ambiance. In the parlor, half-round transom windows add light to the high tray ceilings with crown molding, and a traditional fireplace adds a cozy warmth. However, the view of the pool and the bay beyond is what truly captures the attention. The master suite is in its own private wing and boasts stunning bay views to wake up to. Doors open directly to the pool. His-and-hers dressing rooms have custom built-ins. Marble continues to dominate in the luxurious master bath with two vanities and a whirlpool tub. There's also a room-sized tiled shower. The opposite side of the home has a huge great room with ample space for hosting soirees and showing off the stunning bay views. A wine refrigerator and an angled bar are perfect for serving drinks when entertaining. The kitchen has granite counters, Sub-Zero appliances, a professional gas stove and a prep sink. Custom cabinets hide an under-counter microwave, built-in refrigerator and freezer, and incorporate a professional gas range. The walk-in pantry houses even more storage and a potential wine cellar. The spacious laundry has its own shelved storage closet. A voluminous arched entrance leads to the formal dining area, which is sure to be the hub of the home for family celebrations and Thanksgiving dinners. The two-story enclosed outdoor area includes a grilling station and a koi pond, as well as the private pool. All this with a stunning backdrop of the blue bay waters. Stroll down to the dock where a boat lift and two jet ski lifts await. Back indoors, follow the wrought iron balustrade upstairs to find five bedrooms with private or Jack-and-Jill bathrooms. Generous space is evident in every room of this almost 6,000-sq.-ft. home. Luxury bathrooms, walk-in closets and bay views make this residence truly outstanding. The second-floor living room is perfect as a family room or media/entertaining room with a wet bar and mini fridge. Recent improvements include a new A/C unit (2020), new pool heater and lanai (2022), new pavers and sea wall, and a new boat dock. As well as the garage, the home has plenty of parking for up to 10 vehicles and is surrounded by dense shrubbery, ensuring privacy. The exclusive 900-acre community includes manned security gates, a golf course, clubhouse, community pool, tennis, horse stables, pickleball, a playground, and biking and walking trails. **NOTE** Photos of interior are virtually staged.
