3703 PRESERVE BAY BLVD, Panama City Beach, FL 32408 - For Sale

Owner financing is available: 20% down, 7% interest, amortized over 30 years with 5 year balloon. This 1.6 acre property features one of the most significant and dramatic homes in The Preserve, a private, gated community that is only minutes from St. Andrews State Park and the "world's most beautiful beaches." The stunning faade of this "English manor home" is enhanced by understated landscaping and a grand entrance of finely scrolled wrought-iron gates. The entire estate features many classic details, including an old world charm that belies the fact that this home was built in 2002 at an overwhelming cost of more than $6 million dollars. From architectural design to completion, no expense was spared and only the finest materials were used in this 6 bedroom, 7 bath (plus 3 half baths) home that sprawls over 12,000 square feet. Guests enter through large mahogany doors embellished with stained glass, into the Grand Foyer where a breathtaking marble staircase spirals upwards with three crystal chandeliers lighting the way. The artfully designed interiors boast a refined sense of personal comfort with both classic and modern touches throughout. Italian marble floors and tall, stately columns seem to contradict the many modern conveniences and sheer livability of this grand, but comfortable home. The living room is flanked by classic Ionic columns, exquisite millwork and a pocket billiards table for entertainment! This playful nod to the owner's sense of humor includes something for everyone in the game room upstairs or the fully functional dance studio and home theater for movie nights with popcorn. For quieter moments, the cozy library is perfect for curling up with a favorite book or magazine under a wooden bead-board ceiling where floor to ceiling arched windows flood the room with light. Only the aptly named, Gathering Room, rivals the library's comfort with its mahogany coffered ceiling, fireplace and custom cabinets. The entire room dances in
