Just Sold | Harbor Lights | 614 | Destin, FL

3 Bed  |  3 Bath  |  2,296 Square Feet  |  Selling Price: $750,000





Another listing sold – and under contract in just 21 days! 

Our Georgia clients enjoyed over six years of ownership at Harbor Lights with this perfect vacation getaway. Owning right on the harbor provided the perfect setting for many relaxing hours – from sunrise coffee to sunset cocktails. The time was right, though, to make another purchase. On to another wonderful, relaxing property!

Located in trendy Harbor Lights Condominium, this sixth-floor unit is one of only seven units situated in the center stack. It has a remarkable north-facing terrace overlooking Destin Harbor and a south-facing balcony peering over picturesque Holiday Isle with Gulf views.





The unit has 10-foot ceilings, spacious open floor plan, large windows and glass sliders for optimal views, and crown molding in the living area and master. The kitchen has granite countertops, glass tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and a massive breakfast bar that easily accommodates eight. The living space includes a dining area, media center, and conversation space. The master suite has an ensuite bathroom with a double vanity, granite countertops, whirlpool tub, separate shower, and walk-in closet. The two additional bedrooms are across the living space and each has a bathroom and access to the second balcony.




Harbor Lights boasts excellent community amenities, with an owner's lounge, beautiful pool, marina, and fitness center with a dry sauna and steam room.







Take a look at the various marketing methods that we used to create a cohesive brand for this stunning waterfront unit. 
   
In addition to professional photography, we produced a video tour of the unit and community to send to potential buyers. We create interest in the property by running ads on social media platforms including Facebook, YouTube, and Pinterest. 


We sent mobile-friendly email flyers to our database of investors and agents that linked to both the property website and video tour for ease of access in learning more about the unit and surrounding area. The property is also featured on Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com, as well the internationally renowned Remax.com.

Our clients are a sweet little family from Birmingham, Alabama. With happy memories of growing up visiting our beaches as a young child, they wanted the same memories for their two daughters. What a sweet vacation home this will be for years to come!

The back yard is a wonderful space with a large patio, multiple deck areas, and many fruit producing plants. Best of all, it's just three blocks to the sugar sand beaches. A paradise for the whole family!
