Remodeled Waterfront House with Private Pool, Mother-in-Law Suite & Expansive Living Spaces + NEW ROOF! Welcome to a rare jewel in Destin's most coveted privately gated community -- Kelly Plantation. This exquisitely reimagined 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath + bonus room is a lakefront estate that showcases over 5,100+ square feet of refined living space, masterfully blending modern sophistication with timeless elegance. Completely remodeled to the highest standards, the home offers an open-concept layout designed to maximize natural light, flow, and breathtaking waterfront living from nearly every room. The living room, dining room, and sitting room feature a cozy fireplace and stunning luxury vinyl plank flooring and stunning cathedral ceilings that flows seamlessly throughout the home. Step into a one-of-a-kind, designer-crafted kitchen where timeless elegance meets artisan craftsmanship - all framed by stunning, panoramic lake views that pour in through oversized windows, bathing the space in natural light and serenity. At the heart of this extraordinary kitchen is an expansive display of Taj Mahal Quartzite - a breathtaking natural stone featuring a soft white backdrop laced with delicate golden inlay. More durable than granite and celebrated for its marble-like, wispy drama, this quartzite crowns the countertops and a grand central island, making an unforgettable statement of refined luxury. Encircling this masterpiece is a collection of storybook white cabinetry, custom-built with exquisite attention to detail. The cabinetry not only offers impeccable storage but also elevates the entire aesthetic, creating a bright, airy elegance that feels both elevated and inviting. Adding warmth and artistic flair is a handmade, hand-laid pottery-style tile backsplash - each tile unique, each piece a testament to true craftsmanship. This artisanal element adds depth and texture, perfectly contrasting the sleek lines of the premium stainless-steel appliances and the deep, modern sink that completes the professional-grade functionality of the space. Designed by a visionary and brought to life by a master craftsman, this kitchen is more than a culinary space - it's an inspired retreat, where luxury materials, thoughtful design, and uninterrupted lake views come together to create a truly unforgettable experience. The 1st floor master suite is a tranquil retreat featuring elegant tray ceilings, private lanai and pool access, a spa-inspired en-suite bath, a soaking tub, Taylor-made tile shower w/ steamy glass, and a custom walk-in closet. A private mother-in-law suite is thoughtfully located on the first floor, featuring a separate entrance, full kitchen, living room with a cozy fireplace, a spacious bedroom, and a well-appointed private bath - perfect for multigenerational living or long-term guests. The home boasts soaring 12-foot ceilings on the main level and a showstopping, fully enclosed lakefront pool and hot tub that redefine luxury outdoor living. Over $35,000 was meticulously invested into this private oasis, featuring a newly installed stained pine ceiling that exudes warmth and sophistication, a state-of-the-art breathable enclosure for year-round enjoyment, a redesigned deck, and an upgraded high-efficiency pool heater. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to create a seamless indoor-outdoor retreat, perfectly positioned on the lake - offering a level of elegance, privacy, and craftsmanship that is truly unmatched anywhere else. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms, a stylish full bath, and a generous 2nd living area complete with a third kitchen, 10-foot ceilings, and separate washer/dryer hookups - a rare and highly versatile layout offering exceptional comfort and independence for guests...all while overlooking Lake Rangia and staring at an island from your bay windows. Constructed with ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) technology for superior durability, energy efficiency, and noise reduction, this home also includes a three-car garage and extensive outdoor living areas designed for luxury lakeside living. The private lake behind the home is both filtered and stocked with fish, offering a serene and recreational backdrop. Over $30,000 was invested in exquisite, custom Brazilian pavers that create a stunning first impression as they gracefully welcome you up the driveway, elegantly encircle the home, 3 car garage, and continue down to the poolside and serene lakeside steps - blending luxury, craftsmanship, and timeless curb appeal.
