223 Bayou Blvd Pensacola, FL 32503

Some properties are about the house. This one is about the way you live in it. Offering approximately 94 feet directly on coveted Bayou Texar, protected deep water, a private dock and extraordinary open-water views, this rare East Pensacola Heights residence "Terra Mar" offers a life intimately connected to the water and natural world—yet only about 5 minutes from downtown Pensacola and 15 minutes from Pensacola Beach. Nearly 811 SF of defined private outdoor living space, creates multiple places to experience the waterfront. A generous 359 SF main deck becomes an outdoor living and dining room overlooking the bayou. Below, a 294 SF patio opens toward the lawn and magnificent live oaks, while the 158 SF sky deck provides another elevated vantage point for expansive water and sky views. The sky here feels enormous. Changing weather becomes part of the day, along with almost ever-present south and west sea breezes, shifting light and spectacular evening skies. Morning sun illuminates the hillside and grand homes across the bayou; evenings bring sunsets reflected across the water. Live here and you come to know the bayou intimately—its pace, personality and subtle changes from one day to the next. Dolphins, herons, eagles, redfish, trout and even the occasional manatee share the landscape. For boaters, protected deep water and a private dock with 20,000 lb lift put your boat steps from home, with easy access to Pensacola Bay and Gulf beyond. Just over 2,070 SF offers 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths in a distinctive multi-level design that lives beautifully as a two-suite retreat. Pella windows, whole-house generator, 3 HVAC systems and a roof approximately 5 years old, red cedar siding complement its solid construction. Everything that can be changed can be changed. Everything that makes this property irreplaceable is already here. Early buyer feedback says it best: even great photos can't capture what it feels like to be here. Come experience it for yourself.
