A Home With a Sunny Outlook

You cannot look at the sunny, yellow beach cottage at 56 Lands End Drive without a smile spreading across your face. The outside appearance along with stunning views, desirable amenities and a sought-after location were major selling points in this Feb. 20, 2015 sale by Cindy Cole.

This three-story home evokes feelings of warmth and relaxation with its buttery yellow hue and white accents. These feelings carry on into the inside of the home with its coastal chic decor and unique architectural elements. The home is relaxed but elegant with details such as finials, wainscoting, ironwork and hardwood floors. 

The home’s most desirable features are views of not one but three bodies of water —  the Gulf, East Pass and Lake Christina.  

The main floor contains an open-concept kitchen, dining room and living room with a connecting balcony. The dining room features built-in bench seating. This floor also provides a guest bedroom with private balcony. 

Take the free-floating staircase or the elevator to the second floor, which boasts the master suite and master bathroom. The master suite is spacious with its own balcony facing the Gulf. The master bathroom is luxurious with a marble inlay spa tub, a separate standup shower and his/her sinks with trendy glass vessels. Another guest bedroom is on the second floor. 

Spiral up one more set of stairs to the third floor, which is a tower room with a sun deck. This room is ideal for lounging around with a good book and maybe a summery cocktail. 

Because beachfront property is the major selling point, the outdoor living room was an ideal addition to this home. Features include seating, a food prep area, a bar and a BBQ pit. 

The home is located in Destin Pointe, a gated community on Holiday Isle that provides two pools, two lakes, tennis courts and a beach club.

“56 Lands End offers rare sweeping views of Destin’s Pass over dunes and jetties. The Destin Pointe community attracts buyers looking for the special charm of Old Destin combined with modern amenities and current architecture,” said Cole.
