Spectacular sunsets set the tone for this refined eighth-floor, west-facing condominium in the private, rental-restricted Southwinds I. Positioned as a spacious end unit, the residence enjoys sweeping gulf-front views from the living room, dining area, kitchen, and primary suite, creating a constant connection to the shoreline and sky. The open-concept kitchen is thoughtfully arranged with stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, a dedicated space for an ice maker that is plumbed and wired, and a layout designed for easy entertaining. Living and dining spaces are framed by a 32-ft. wall of windows that capture sugar-white sand and sparkling gulf waters from morning through evening. One of the most distinctive features of this home is the expansive curved balcony, offering extra outdoor living space to unwind, dine, or simply take in the changing colors of the horizon. The primary suite is generously sized and features an updated ensuite bath, while two additional bedrooms each include their own private bathrooms, providing comfort and privacy for guests and family. Recent improvements reflect pride of ownership and thoughtful investment, including a new HVAC system in 2021; all-new tile and carpet flooring in 2021; a kitchen and primary bath renovation in 2023 and secondary bath remodel in 2024. Community-wide enhancements include freshly painted exterior railings in 2024 and a complete elevator replacement in 2025. Southwinds I residents enjoy a quieter coastal lifestyle with no short-term rentals permitted. Amenities include a heated pool and hot tub, private gulf-front beach access with chair and umbrella service, personal storage lockers, garage bicycle storage, optional paddleboard storage, covered and open parking, and designated golf cart parking with association-issued permits. Beyond the building, owners benefit from access to the expansive lifestyle offered by Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, a premier destination spanning more than 2,000 acres. Amenities include miles of beaches and bay frontage, four championship golf courses, a world-class tennis center, resort and neighborhood pools, a full-service marina, a fitness center and spa, and The Village of Baytowne Wharf with dining, shopping, events, and entertainment. Just outside the gates, Grand Boulevard adds even more shopping and dining options, all easily reached by golf cart without traveling on Highway 98. This gulf-front residence offers elevated views, thoughtful updates, and a refined coastal setting designed for those who value privacy, comfort, and enduring beauty.
