Description of 17 Compass Point Way
Steps from the sugar-white sands of the Gulf, this exceptional Watersound Beach residence commands attention across four thoughtfully designed floors. Built in 2017 and encompassing 4,230 square feet, this five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath home is a masterclass in refined coastal living, with all three HVAC systems replaced in 2026 for effortless, worry-free ownership. Soaring ceilings, crisp white interiors, and a white brick fireplace set the tone, while the chef's kitchen boasts marble countertops and a full suite of Thermador appliances, including a six-burner gas range. Two primary suites, including a first-floor retreat, offer rare privacy. A dedicated bunk room and third-floor game room with oversized screen make the home ideal for gathering and entertaining. Outside, a private pool and landscaped yard provide a serene escape, while the fourth-floor west-facing lookout tower reveals sweeping views of the Emerald Coast. Dual full-width covered porches invite unhurried mornings and golden-hour evenings. A detached garage and paved driveway complete the offering. Within the gated Watersound Beach community, residents enjoy multiple pools, a private fitness center, miles of scenic boardwalks, a dog park, and one mile of deeded Gulf beach access. Short-term rentals are permitted, presenting a rare opportunity to own a premier primary residence, second home, or income-producing asset along one of Florida's most sought-after coastlines.
