LIVE THE BAYOU LIFE -- WITHOUT THE BAYOU PRICE. High on the corner of 29th Street and Bayshore Drive, directly across from Oak Marina, this Wilson Enterprises award-winning coastal-chic home is where Niceville's water life begins. Coffee on the porch as the sun comes up over Boggy Bayou. A walk to the park, a stroll to dinner at the Wharf, your boat waiting across the street at the marina. Live oaks, dolphins at dusk, and sunsets that stop traffic on Bayshore -- all from high, dry ground with no seawall, no surge, and no flood zone to worry about. Inside, it is light, white, and effortlessly coastal: soaring ceilings, white oak floors, a designer kitchen built for gathering, and a primary retreat with a New Orleans-style brick wall and a soaking tub. Whole-home generator, impact glass, and a metal roof mean you enjoy the Gulf Coast weather instead of worrying about it. Minutes to the Eglin gate and zoned for the Niceville schools families move here for. This is the home locals drive past and wish they'd bought. Now you can. There is a reason people who grew up here never want to leave, and a reason the ones who left keep coming back. Boggy Bayou is the heart of Niceville -- calm water, old oaks, a town that still feels like a town. Picture the rhythm of it. Mornings on the porch with the marina stirring across the street. Afternoons on the bay -- launch from Oak Marina and you're on Choctawhatchee in minutes, with Crab Island and the Gulf a short run beyond.
