Description

Positioned in the heart of Destin, this home offers both opportunity and convenience with a location that's hard to beat. Located just two blocks from Destin Elementary School, the setting is ideal for families. Currently, Destin Elementary School is undergoing an incredible expansion project that will allow 5th graders to return to the school. Destin Little League is also less than a mile away, and here you can experience their annual parade to kick-off the little league season. Only half a mile from Joe's Bayou and the public boat launch, the setting is perfect for boating or fishing enthusiasts. Parking your boat here is no problem. Set on nearly a quarter-acre with no HOA, the property features mature oak and magnolia trees and a fenced backyard perfect for gatherings, swinging on a tree swing in the shade, or quiet evenings outdoors. Inside, fresh vinyl plank flooring provides a clean foundation to focus on additional updating to make it your own. Currently enjoyed as a second home getaway, it's ready for a buyer who is looking for a manageable project. Priced under $300,000, this is a rare opportunity for this price point in Destin. Even better, the surrounding area is poised for growth with a City of Destin project underway to enhance Joe's Bayou Recreation Area with expanded boating access, new restroom facilities, a fishing pier, walking trails, and more. Nearby Mattie Kelly Park and Nature Walk will also see improvements, including additional boardwalks and wetlands enhancements. With location, value, and future community amenities, this property holds remarkable potential for a new owner ready to add their own touch.

    "I don’t live in Destin, I live in Baker, FL. I think dog owners would, give or take, like my neighborhood. It’s a farm neighborhood, but it depends on what dog they have. If they have acreage and a working dog, they’ll love it. If they have a lab or something like that, they might get run over"

    "It takes 30 minutes during the summer to get to my job and i live 5 minutes away. There should be a light in front of my current apartment complex but there isn’t, since there isn’t theres an accident there at least 2 times a month. Also there used to be a side street that residents could use to be able to bypass 98 but someone bought the property its on and has done NOTHING with the property but has COMPLETELY blocked off the road.
