The sunsets are majestic on the huge west-facing first-floor patio and second-floor balcony overlooking beautiful Johnson Bayou in this magnificent concrete block waterfront home with gulf access. Your new home is perfectly situated between historic downtown Panama City and St. Andrews. Stroll down to your dock in your protected bayou and fish for tonight's dinner or maybe swim with the kids. The large family room opens to the patio for spectacular dining and entertaining. The big open kitchen has beautiful black granite counter-tops, a trash compactor, dishwasher, disposal, stove, a stainless-steel sub zero freezer and a walk-in pantry. The two downstairs bedrooms are separated by a full bath with a double vanity and a very convenient laundry room. This 2300 sf 3BR/2BA home was built by the contractor as his retirement home. The large upstairs master suite is the perfect refuge from a hard-days' work and a great way to relax and unwind. The entire upstairs is the master suite and opens to your private balcony over-looking the bayou. It also boasts a private office and a master bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath, four-foot square shower with steamer, double vanity, and a walk-in closet. A beautiful standing-seam roof is designed to withstand up to category 4 hurricane-force winds and beyond. A basement built into the foundation serves as an extra storm shelter or additional storage. There are 2 water heaters, an energy-efficient geo-thermo heating system and a large garage. Outside is a well-operated sprinkler system and underground utilities. Water and sewer are both on public utilities. This is a home worth looking at, it is one of a kind, great location...all the convenience of a condo, but with a beautiful private setting.
