$875,000 - 359 Beachside Drive, PANAMA CITY BEACH

The Seven C's house sits on Lake Carillon, and the Gulf of Mexico is just across the street and easy to enjoy from the master bedroom and tower office! As you enter the open and architecturally interesting foyer, you will be struck by the beauty and serenity of Lake Carillon. Graceful arches are carried through from the double front doors, to living room threshold, to the transoms above the three pair of glass doors in the living and dining areas. There are large screened porches off the living & dining rooms so that you may open up the entire downstairs to tranquil Lake Carillon. There is only one lot between this home and the Gulf of Mexico. Excellent craftsmanship is evident in this home, from the antique heart pine wood open staircase, the real bead board wainscoting, the transoms over all major doors, to the beautiful hardwood floors. Granite and travertine have been installed throughout. The kitchen has been totally refurbished - stainless steel appliances, white cabinets, and granite counter tops. Additionally, on the first floor is a sizable bedroom with a full bath and built in library type shelving. There are two generous master suites with private baths on second floor. Storage is plentiful inside this home, and all closets have been professionally outfitted. Porches overlook the water from both suites on second floor. The tower is currently serving as an extra sleeping quarters/play area with 360-degree breath-taking views. The outside of this home is just as inviting, with cobblestone pavers on the drive & walkways, and with professional landscaping & lighting. There is also an outdoor storage shed, whole house water conditioning unit, a security alarm system and a sound system. The water heater is a Rennai tankless. The sellers installed a new AC compressor in 2006, and duct work in 2010, and a new all aluminum roof in 2006. They have Lexan storm panels to cover doors and windows should that be necessary in a storm. This extraordinary beach home has been lovingly cared for, and it shows. This home is offered partially furnished.
