Welcome to luxury living in the Vineyards at Hammock Bay, a premier gated neighborhood known for its upscale homes, larger homesites, and private preserve settings. Built in 2022 and only occasionally occupied as a second residence, this impeccably maintained home presents like a nearly new luxury property, offering refined craftsmanship, resort-style outdoor living, and an unparalleled lifestyle along Florida's Emerald Coast.
Privately positioned on an oversized homesite backing to a serene preserve, the property offers exceptional privacy and beautifully curated outdoor spaces. Significant landscaping enhancements include the conversion from Bermuda to premium Zoysia grass, the addition of palm trees, and professionally designed landscaping. A welcoming front porch, gas lanterns, and a paver driveway establish timeless curb appeal, while the backyard serves as a private retreat featuring a seasonally heated pool with sun shelf and elegant deck jets, plus a spacious screened lanai with an outdoor fireplace perfect for year-round enjoyment.
Inside, stunning double brick archways create a memorable first impression as you enter the foyer. The thoughtfully designed floor plan encompasses 4 bedrooms, a dedicated office, loft, large media room, and 3.5 baths. Anchored by a striking floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, the living room serves as a stunning focal point, while engineered wood flooring, crown molding, 7¼-inch baseboards, cased windows, and soaring 10ft ceilings showcase the home's exceptional craftsmanship. The gourmet kitchen is beautifully appointed with quartz countertops, professional-grade built-in appliances, a 5-burner gas cooktop, vent hood, furniture-grade WoodHarbor cabinetry, walk-in pantry, and exceptional storage.
The spacious primary suite enjoys tranquil preserve views and features dual walk-in closets, while the luxurious ensuite bath offers a large soaking tub, oversized tile shower, and separate vanities. Additional highlights include a well-equipped laundry room with cabinetry and utility sink, a 3-car garage, real wood plantation shutters, and abundant storage throughout. Upstairs, you'll find an expansive entertainment area complete with a loft, private bedroom, full bath, and two additional storage closets with attic access.
