Property DescriptionWelcome to 848 Tropic Avenue, a newly built residence on Okaloosa Island where modern design, refined craftsmanship, and relaxed beach living come together effortlessly. With over 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed space, this home offers an elevated blend of luxury and comfort... all just a short stroll from the island's renowned beaches and emerald shoreline.
Inside, wide-plank engineered wood flooring sets a warm, inviting tone throughout the main living areas. Elevated architectural details, including 10-foot ceilings and 8-foot solid oak doors, enhance the home's sense of openness and sophistication. The gourmet kitchen serves as a stunning centerpiece, pairing professional-grade elements with refined design, including quartz countertops, extended upper cabinetry, and a striking 48'' Forno gas range with double oven. A generous island provides additional seating and prep space, making this kitchen ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
The first-floor primary suite is designed as a private retreat, blending modern simplicity with high-quality finishes. The beautifully appointed bath showcases a spacious, glass-enclosed shower wrapped in floor-to-ceiling tile and equipped with dual shower heads, along with a sleek floating double vanity. A private sliding door provides convenient access to the backyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
Upstairs, an expansive secondary living room offers additional space for relaxation or guests, with access to a private covered balcony offering tranquil views of Santa Rosa Sound. Each bedroom enjoys direct access to a full bathroom, including a beautifully designed Jack-and-Jill shared bath between two of the guest suites, creating a thoughtful and functional layout.
The open-concept living area extends easily outdoors through a wide span of sliding glass doors that leads to a covered porch accented by a tongue-and-groove wood ceiling. This inviting space features a fully appointed summer kitchen with a built-in grill, wine refrigerator, and waterfall quartz countertops... setting the stage for effortless entertaining. Beyond the covered area, the fenced backyard offers a blank canvas for personalization, including the option to add a custom Neway pool with renderings available upon request. A generous side yard also provides space for boat or RV parking, a rare convenience on Okaloosa Island.
Situated between the Gulf of Mexico and Choctawhatchee Bay, Okaloosa Island offers an unmatched blend of tranquility, natural beauty, and accessibility. Enjoy pristine beaches, boating, fishing, paddleboarding, and miles of protected shoreline, along with restaurants, parks, and entertainment just minutes away. Located in a residentially protected area of Okaloosa Island where short-term rentals are not allowed, the home benefits from enhanced privacy, reduced transient traffic, and a more refined coastal living experience. Destin lies just over five miles to the east, and downtown Fort Walton Beach is less than two miles from your doorstep.
