Property Description
Welcome to Rocky Bayou Country Club Estates, where timeless curb appeal and exceptional amenities come together on a beautifully refreshed .37-acre lot. Set back from the street with an expansive front yard, the home makes a memorable first impression. A partial wraparound front porch, screened-in gunite pool, and fenced backyard create inviting places to relax, gather, and enjoy the Florida lifestyle. Beyond the soaring two-story foyer, the first floor includes a generous primary suite and an oversized flex room that is larger than most bedrooms. Whether used as a playroom, media room, fitness space, or guest quarters this versatile space can adapt to a variety of needs. Additional gathering spaces include a living room anchored by a brick fireplace, a formal dining room, and a bright breakfast area surrounded by windows. The well-appointed kitchen features a center island, abundant cabinetry and counter space, a brand-NEW 2026 range, and a window above the sink overlooking the front yard. A dedicated laundry room + drop zone add functionality, while the half bathroom conveniently provides a second access point to the pool patio. The primary bedroom is a true retreat with a spa-inspired bathroom featuring an indoor sauna, Jacuzzi tub, dual vanities, and a tiled walk-in shower. The showstopping custom closet provides extensive built-in storage, abundant hanging space, and a center island with drawers (photo upon request). Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a convenient desk nook. One bedroom is especially spacious, comfortably accommodating two beds and featuring its own walk-in closet. Outside, the screened-in gunite swimming POOL is surrounded by a paver deck with plenty of room for lounging and entertaining. Beyond the pool, the fenced backyard provides ample green space, intentional landscaping, and a dedicated firepit area. Additional highlights include a BRAND NEW 2026 roof, NEW pool pump being installed August 2026, 2022 HVAC, tankless water heater, oversized 2-car garage, gutters, sprinkler system, full landscaping refresh, and completed pre-listing home inspection. Zoned for Niceville schools, the property is convenient to military bases, the airport, dining, retail, and the beach. Eligible VA buyers may have the opportunity to assume the seller's 2.375% VA loan, subject to lender approval, qualification requirements, and sufficient entitlement. With flexible living space, an intentional layout, valuable recent improvements, and a sought-after Niceville location, this home truly stands apart.
