120 BAYOU DR, Niceville, FL 32578 - For Sale

You can look from Pensacola to Apalachicola; but, you will not find a waterfront jewel to compare with this quality of home, this serene view, this nature loving lifestyle, or this wholesome town location. It's a fact, well learned by the current owners; as they dedicated a summer to just such a search, before making this fortunate discovery.

The pier is complete with a boat, a lift with canopy, two small vessel lifts, a fish cleaning station, lights & water, a boat slip, and a lower platform.

Matthew Savoie designed renovations for the current owner; including the pool kitchen with fabulous granite countertops; the master sunroom; and, the spacious second level screened in room. Also; newly renovated by Cox Pools, is the now travertine decked, heated pool; with shooting water features, multi-color lights, & fountain spa. There is a poolside screene
