Property Details
This property is being sold with 700 Beach Dr. See MLS 984070. Set along 103 feet of private waterfront on the storied shores of Joe's Bayou--one of Destin's most iconic and desirable addresses--this exceptional compound offers a rare opportunity to own a purposefully assembled, generational estate comprised of two distinct single-family residences across 1.35 acres. With direct access to the Gulf of Mexico just minutes away through the East Pass, and a backdrop of white sand beach, lush green space, and deepwater dockage, this estate was designed for a life well lived, and well shared. Recently reimagined by esteemed builder Frank Janssen, the primary waterfront residence at 702 Beach Drive is a masterclass in craftsmanship and livability. Constructed with aerated autoclaved concrete and positioned slab-on-grade, the home offers enduring strength while showcasing refined interiors and bespoke detailing. Twelve-foot ceilings, travertine floors, and a barrel-vaulted plaster entry ceiling set a sophisticated tone, while a custom kitchen impresses with Wood-Mode cabinetry, honed marble counters, a wenge butcher block island, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and curated organizational features built for true chefs. The living room's wet bar, fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows connect effortlessly to a screened pool terrace, where views of the bayou unfold across the 90-foot private dock, sandy beach, and covered 30 plus foot boat slip. An outdoor shower at the dock makes rinsing off after a day on the water as effortless as the lifestyle itself. The main-level primary suite offers a sanctuary of comfort, with custom built-ins, a hidden vanity, concealed safe, and a spa-like bath wrapped in high-end quartz. A second ensuite bedroom upstairs accompanies a game and media lounge, opening to a large balcony with sweeping water views. Additional features include two additional bedrooms on the main level, a whole-house generator, tankless gas water heater, air purification system, and 2.5-car garage with workspace. Just across the landscaped lawn, the second residence at 700 Beach Drive offers completely remodeled flexibility for extended family, adult children, or long-term guests, with three bedrooms and two full baths, its own driveway and a private setting. Beautifully maintained and well-appointed, it complements the waterfront home while offering its own distinct sense of space and comfortperfectly suited for multigenerational living. Together, the two homes form a rare and remarkable compound where heritage meets modern luxury, and where every sunset over Joe's Bayou feels like it was made just for you.
