About this home
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.
