Featuring four bedrooms, including two spacious primary suites, the thoughtfully designed floor plan lives primarily on the main level, making everyday living both effortless and functional. A dramatic vaulted entry welcomes you into the sunken living room, where soaring wood ceilings, rich hardwood flooring, and travertine accents create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. The heart of the home is the beautifully appointed kitchen with fresh white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, generous prep space, and picturesque lake views. The adjoining dining area and breakfast bar flow seamlessly to the expansive rear patio, designed for year-round entertaining.
Paver walkways wind through the lush grounds, where mature citrus and pear trees create a private, tropical setting that complements the peaceful waterfront backdrop. Offering exceptional privacy, generous outdoor space, and breathtaking views, this Fox Lake retreat is a rare opportunity to enjoy refined lakefront living in Santa Rosa Beach.
A county-approved lot split separating Lot 3 from Lot 4 will be completed and recorded in connection with closing . The $1,800,000 offering is for the home and the approximately 0.6 acres comprising Lot 3.
