A home like no other: Indian Bayou home ‘truly a sanctuary’ Advertorial Special to The Log Once in a while, right in the middle of a quiet seaside neighborhood, life gives us a fairytale. A home so special and loved, secluded from the chaos of everyday life, that it is truly a sanctuary. A home with beautiful gardens and fountains, privacy from the outside world, flowing areas to entertain in, and cozy corners to escape to and relax in, an all brick home so strong and secure that will protect your family from all of life’s storms. Amazingly, one such home is looking for a new family, and is available for purchase in the Heart of Destin. Towards the end of Indian Bayou North, on .82 acres of very private land, sits the home of Stuart and Joyce Waters-Smith. Stuart is retired and Joyce, a Master Gardener, has tended to the grounds and their gardens for the past 15 years creating an oasis for outdoor living. The focal point of the circular driveway is a 4-tiered fountain with a backdrop of crepe myrtles, hydrangeas, plumeria, azaleas and ferns. The beveled glass, double front doors invite you into the foyer of 4076 Indian Bayou North. The home is full of natural light and the floorplan unfolds in front of you — all 2,257 square feet of this single story, 3 bedroom and 2 bath home. Completely tiled throughout, the formal dining room is to your left, a private office to the right and the library is forward towards the great room. A chef’s kitchen is at the heart of this home with a five burner gas stove, a wraparound breakfast bar that seats six, an abundance of beautiful cabinetry for storage and enough counter space to prepare for and entertain scores of family and friends. Storage in this home will never be an issue, as it was built by a cabinet maker in 1998 as his personal residence. The kitchen overlooks the great room, back yard and patio, so the chef will never feel left out. When it’s time to settle in for the evening, in the winter, light the gas fireplace in the great room, turn on the twinkle lights in the back yard, open the blinds and watch the wind blow thru the trees. The coffered ceilings and built-in cabinetry only add to the elegance of this room. In the summer, retreat to the back patio with a cool drink or follow the paver path out into the gardens to the hot tub and enjoy a quiet, private evening, without another house in sight. The master suite sits on one side of the house with the other two bedrooms on the opposite side for ultimate privacy. The master suite is truly a sanctuary with French doors that open onto the covered patio for extended living space and fresh air. The master bath boasts separate shower and tub, a water closet, double vanity and amazing natural light. The garage is large with an extra deep stall. The brick exterior, along with a new 14 Seer HVAC, microwave, dishwasher and other appliances makes this home extremely energy efficient. Best of all NO HOA’s and the taxes and insurance are affordable; no flood insurance required even though it sits across from the bayou. Treasures like this in Destin are few and far between.
