Magnolia House Condos for Sale

About Magnolia House

Magnolia House stands inside the Destin Pointe neighborhood at 480 Gulf Shore Drive, the one condominium among its houses. The county records the building as its own subdivision on a 0.39 acre parcel, and that recorded parcel is the single most useful fact about the address: the only parcel touching it is an 8.80 acre residential common area owned by the Destin Pointe Owners Association. The condominium's own ground, in other words, ends at its walls, and every direction out of it crosses neighborhood land held by an association a purchaser here does not automatically join. Destin Pointe's own roll runs to 120 parcels, 102 of them detached houses with the remainder vacant or common, and Magnolia House is filed separately from all of them. Where the record can see the building, it is straightforward. Okaloosa County assesses all 66 condominium parcels to 1986, and the header record it keeps states the count in plain words. Residences occupy six levels and thin as they rise: twelve on each of the lowest four, ten on the fifth, eight at the top, a pattern that varies from level to level and so reads as measured rather than as a placeholder copied down a column. Water is near without being adjacent. The parcel meets no water body at all, with the Gulf roughly 1,200 feet away and East Pass roughly 1,100, and the whole site carries a single flood designation, an AE zone at a base flood elevation of 8 feet.
