Each of the three bedrooms features its own en-suite bath, providing comfort and privacy for family and guests.

Overlooking the par-3 8th hole of Kelly Plantation with tranquil lake views beyond, 6326 Augusta Cove offers refined golf course living within one of Destin's most distinguished gated communities. Elegant domed ceilings lend volume and crafted refinement throughout. Recent improvements include a new roof, pool screening and equipment, and a tankless water heater. The screened outdoor living space is exceptional -- a zero-entry pool with water features and spa, complemented by a fully appointed summer kitchen. A three-car garage and quiet Augusta Cove setting complete a residence that transitions effortlessly between full-time luxury living and a premier coastal retreat. The interior is designed to live as beautifully as it looks -- an open, light-filled layout where generous proportions and thoughtful finishes create a sense of ease and elegance. Domed ceilings introduce subtle grandeur, while expansive windows frame sweeping fairway and lake vistas that shift with the light throughout the day. The outdoor environment rivals the finest coastal retreats. A zero-entry pool with integrated spa and water features anchors the expansive screened enclosure, allowing year-round enjoyment in a setting that feels genuinely private. The summer kitchen creates a natural gathering space for relaxed evenings and refined entertaining. Additional infrastructure includes a whole-home standby generator -- a meaningful feature for coastal properties and one that conveys with the home. Kelly Plantation delivers a lifestyle that's rarely replicated -- championship golf, clubhouse dining, bay access, tennis and pickleball, a fitness center, nature trails, and a full complement of recreational amenities, all secured behind a gated entrance with mature landscaping along the shores of Choctawhatchee Bay. Properties offering updated systems, architectural detail, golf frontage, lake views, and a quiet interior street location rarely align with this level of completeness. 6326 Augusta Cove is a residence defined by setting, quality, and a sense of place that's simply difficult to replicate.
