The Aegean Condos for Sale

About The Aegean

Two waters define this parcel and the county's own layers name both. The 6.03 acre footprint that carries all 80 residences meets the Gulf polygon along a shared edge instead of overlapping into it, which is the distinction between owning frontage and standing near it, and this parcel is one of those the state's coastal construction control line divides. Behind it, under 250 feet away, sits Old Pass Lagoon. The consequence shows in the flood mapping, and it is unlike anything else recorded in this part of Destin. Every square foot of the parcel falls inside a special flood hazard area: Zone VE at 12 and 15 feet of base flood elevation along the water, Zone AE at 7 and 8 feet behind it, and no Zone X polygon anywhere on the property. Neighboring beachfront addresses on this island routinely carry a slice of Zone X. This one carries none.

The recorded vintage is 1975, not the later date the building is often given. All 80 unit parcels return that same actual year built, and the header row the county keeps under this name puts the total at 80 units in so many words. Address points place them at 520 Gulf Shore Drive in a 1xx, 2xx and 3xx numbering series.

Height is the one thing the record does not settle, and saying so is more useful than guessing. The county's floor attribute assigns 20 residences to the first level, 20 to the second and 40 to the third, a distribution that grows rather than shrinks with height, and the attribute reproduces the leading digit of each unit designator exactly. The county's structure layer maps three separate building outlines on the parcel, of roughly 23,700, 21,400 and 7,800 square feet, which would explain a 1, 2, 3 series that identifies buildings rather than stories. Because Florida's milestone structural inspection, its structural integrity reserve study and its balcony certificate each key off a Florida Building Code determination of how many stories this property stands, three habitable stories or more for the first two and three stories or more for the third, this is a question to put to the association in writing rather than to infer from an address. The building's immediate neighbors on the roll are the Gulfshore and Destin on the Gulf condominiums and the Holiday Isle plat.
