4201 Ward Cove Drive Niceville, FL 32578

Bayou-Front Retreat in Bluewater Bay! Set behind a gated, circular drive on 3/4 acres of lushly landscaped, oak- and palm-shaded grounds, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Mediterranean-style home offers 95' of deep-water bayou frontage with a private dock and covered boat lift -- just minutes to Rocky Bayou, Choctawhatchee Bay, and the Gulf. A rich mahogany and leaded-glass front door opens to a foyer that sets the tone for the home's refined architectural detail -- arched porticos, soaring ceilings, and tray ceiling accents throughout. The open-concept great room features a stone fireplace flanked by built-in shelving and opens to a sunny breakfast nook framed by arched windows with water views. The kitchen offers granite counters, a tumbled-travertine backsplash, stainless appliances, and a walk-in pantry. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite is a true retreat, with a fireplace and wet bar, private balcony access, two walk-in closets, and a spa-style bath with soaking tub, dual vanities, and a glass-block walk-in shower. A dedicated home office, private gym, and spacious laundry/utility room add everyday flexibility, while an oversized 900+ sq ft garage with 14' ceilings offers rare storage for boats, gear, or toys. Multiple covered balconies and porches capture the water views and coastal breeze. A rare offering in one of Niceville's most sought-after waterfront communities -- don't miss it.
