4954 Hickory Shores Blvd Named the Parade of Homes Energy Efficient Home of the Year, this stunning bayfront retreat on over an acre in Gulf Breeze has been meticulously upgraded and is truly move-in ready. A vinyl seawall, private dock, and Jet Ski lift set the stage for waterfront living at its finest, with sweeping bay views enjoyed from nearly every room. The beautifully landscaped grounds are designed to blend seamlessly with the natural bay setting, featuring low-maintenance foliage, a parterre rose garden (2025), a new outdoor shower, and a well-fed sprinkler system. A stainless smokeless fire pit and two covered patio ceiling fans complete the outdoor living experience. Inside, 10-foot ceilings in every room enhance the open, airy feel. Travertine stone flooring in an elegant French Versailles pattern flows throughout the entire house. Crown molding, recessed lighting, a gas fireplace, built-in bookcases, and a wet bar with new brushed nickel faucets add warmth and sophistication. A chandelier welcomes you at the entry, while the formal dining room features a stunning Frontgate shell chandelier. The kitchen impresses with a brand-new Frigidaire Gallery glass cooktop and wall oven, Bosch ultra-quiet dishwasher, Samsung refrigerator, stainless steel beverage refrigerator, solid surface countertops, lighted cabinetry, and a large island with a new designer light fixture. Two en-suite bedrooms each offer private attached bathrooms and direct access to the bay. The primary suite features his and hers walk-in closets and a fully remodeled bathroom (2025) with new tile, dual vanities, walk-in shower, freestanding soaking tub, bidet, and water closet.
