7809 Highway 2311, Panama City, FL 32404

Imagine a forever home where you can raise your family in a private tranquil setting with over 2 acres on Deer Point Lake that's just minutes to town - 7809 Highway 2311 is that place. You'll be swept away when driving up to this Southern style home sitting majestically back in the Magnolia & Oak trees - it's almost as if you're in another era. The porches on the house seem to go on forever, including two screened porches - one of which is off the master bedroom. From the moment you enter the home it feels warm and inviting with hardwoods throughout except bedrooms and wet areas. There's a quaint sitting area off the entry that would make a great office/music room/den with built-in bookcases on each side of the entry and across the hallway a formal dining room with French doors that open out to the wrap around porch. Continuing on down the hallway you'll move into the open living room - it's a great place to gather with abundant windows and French doors to 2 separate porches and it has a wood burning fireplace for a true cozy feel. There are 2 sets of double doors that lead to the backyard and down to the lake and your private dock. Deer Pt Lake is a great location for boating, fishing or just sitting on the dock and watching the sunset. There's an outside covered area with a picnic table and fish cleaning station and a cozy hammock area overlooking the lake. The current owners have left the setting natural with Magnolias & Oaks but you could open it up for views of the lake if you wished. Back inside the living room is open to the kitchen and allows for great entertaining. The kitchen has granite counters and subway tile backsplash as well as custom oak cabinets that have pull outs, a lazy susan and 2 cabinets have glass fronts for displaying your china or treasured keepsakes. If that's not enough there's a wall of glassed cabinets in the pass-thru from the kitchen to the formal dining room and a huge walk-in pantry - you will never want for storage space. The breakfast area connects to the kitchen and is surrounded by windows and French doors that look out over the wooded setting and really allow you to enjoy nature. Moving back to the Master Bedroom you'll be awed by the size (18.5 X 20) and the openness - there are 9 windows and 2 glass doors that lead to 2 separate porches (one screened) and ample room for a sitting area - there are also built-in bookcases and recessed lights - it's a fabulous bedroom. The adjoining master bath has his and her vanities, a separate water closet and a large walk-in shower with double shower heads and there's a massive walk-in closet off the bathroom as well. The first secondary bedroom would make a great mother-in-law suite - it has it's own full bath and a spacious walk-in closet, the two additional secondary bedrooms share a large hall bath and one of the bedrooms is 16.5 X 14 (the size of some masters). The laundry room is spacious with a folding area, laundry sink, pull down stairs for attic storage and the front loading Kenmore washer & dryer convey. This home has 10 ft ceilings, crown molding, extra wide baseboards, a half bath for guests, comes with a home warranty and tons of storage throughout the home. There's a 3 car carport with covered walkway to the house as well as storage off the carport and there's another covered storage area for boat or small camper off the drive. This is a one owner home and was built to raise and love a family in and that's what these sellers did - they are ready to move on and let another family experience this great home.
