EXCEPTIONAL RESIDENCE in the exclusive GRAND OAKS community - rare opportunity to experience the CHARM and SOPHISTICATION of CLASSIC NEW ORLEANS architecture, seamlessly blended with the COASTAL LIFESTYLE of Boggy Bayou. Set beneath a canopy of mature live oaks, the home exudes timeless elegance--from its ornate wrought-iron galleries and brick-lined terraces to its gracious interiors filled with natural light, arched openings, and refined millwork. Designed for both relaxed living and effortless entertaining, the home features inviting gathering spaces, a chef's kitchen, and stunning architectural details such as multiple fireplaces and a beautifully preserved clawfoot tub sourced from a historic Mandeville, LA home. What truly sets this property apart is its unique position within Grand Oaks, where residents enjoy the benefit of living high and dry while maintaining dedicated access to the bayou--complete with a private dock and lifts just steps away, offering direct access to deep water and a lifestyle centered around boating, sunset cruises, and waterfront living. From your dock, enjoy a scenic ride to the Gulf of America, with the world-renowned white sand beaches of the Emerald Coast just minutes away, along with iconic destinations such as Crab Island, where turquoise waters and vibrant coastal energy create an unforgettable experience. Properties of this caliber and character are seldom available in Niceville--a community known for its charm, top-rated schools, and strong sense of place--making this a truly distinctive offering for those seeking a refined, waterfront lifestyle that is both elegant and remarkably uncommon along the Emerald Coast.
