Masterfully constructed by Arthur Rutenberg, this 2023 custom-built home in the gated RiverCamps on Crooked Creek community sits on 1.31 acres at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac. Most of the home is situated on the main level, with a picturesque front porch, an open-concept living area, a dedicated dining space, separate den, and 3 bedrooms. Upstairs, a bonus oversized room can be used as the 4th bedroom, a guest suite, hobby room, or flex space.
The kitchen is the heart of the home, elegant and practical, with white cabinetry, stunning quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and a large island perfect for gathering. Soaring ceilings, 8-foot doors, crown moulding in the living areas, recessed lighting, modern fixtures, and wide-plank wood flooring give the whole main level a polished yet comfortable feel. The primary suite is a relaxing retreat of its own, with sliders that open straight to the screened-in porch overlooking the backyard, perfect for slow mornings and evenings. The primary bath has a dual vanity and a walk-in tile shower. Storage is thoughtfully done throughout, with storage shelves built into the closets, so everything has a place.
Outside, the home sits on a dream lot for avid nature-lovers. The backyard is already enclosed with a permitted fence, which is a rarer find and a huge value-add in this community. It is very common to see deer and other wildlife strolling the woods around the property. This home has been occupied by a single owner since their new purchase in April of 2024. They have maintained it with great care. The metal roof, HVAC, and appliances are therefore only 3 years old, which provides peace of mind that big expenses shouldn't be on the horizon. Spray foam attic insulation helps keep electric bills down. Built-in pest control system adds options. Plus, the sellers said the home stood strong during the recent storms and has never flooded.
RiverCamps on Crooked Creek is a 1,500-acre gated preserve, with about 1,000 acres set aside for conservation. The homesites are limited and sit on large lots. Residents enjoy the RiverHouse pool and community space, 7 miles of trails and boardwalks, a waterside campground with tents and a fire pit, pickleball, and a playground. For boaters, there is a boat launch and day docks on Crooked Creek with access to West Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Gulf, plus boat and trailer storage. Additionally, the brand new fitness center is now open.
RiverCamps is a 10-minute drive to Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport and only 15 minutes to the white sand beaches of Panama City Beach, along with a myriad of shopping and dining options at Pier Park. The new Watersound West Bay Shopping Center with Publix Grocery is under construction about 2 miles away along Highway 79. This will provide additional grocery and dining choices without having to navigate tourist traffic.
For qualified VA buyers, this home also offers the potential of a VA assumable loan at 5.25% with about $572,000 remaining, subject to lender and VA approval. Professional photography coming early December. Schedule your showing today.
