It's PARADE OF HOMES WEEK sponsored by The National Home Builders Association in Bay County, Florida! The area includes Panama City, Panama City Beach, Lynn Haven, Southport, and surrounding communities. This year there are 47 new homes in The Parade.

Right now I am hostessing OPEN HOUSE at one of the Parade Homes in the beautiful waterfront community of Martinique on Panama City Beach, FL.

My brokerage, Ryan Realty, has the exclusive listing on the Martinique Model Home, where I am right now.  We also have a brand new construction home just completed in time for the annual Parade, which we also have open to show today.  And, we have an owner occupied home listed for resale next door to the new one.  I had the pleasure of hostessing an Open House there on Sunday. 

3405 MARTINIQUE LANE  $599,000

This Parade home features 3 bedrooms, with a downstairs Master suite and full bath, plus 2 full baths upstairs with each bedroom, and a half bath downstairs off the main living area.  The approximate 2700 square feet have a bright open feel with oak hardwood floors. The family room has a built-in entertainment center surrounding the gas fireplace, and the open inviting kitchen has a gas stove, lots of cabinets, and open natural wood shelving.  One of my favorite features is a built-in reading nook.  The Master suite has a high ceiling and a luxurious Master bath with walk-in separate shower, claw-foot tub, and double sinks.  There is a huge walk-in closet, plus a side patio that opens from the Master and living area.

Martinique is a charming gated waterfront community designed with distinctive "Old Florida" coastal charm.  The community offers nature trails for walking, a community pool and other desirable amenities with an emphasis on protecting and preserving nature.  

This is the Gazebo in the Common area which is the center of the community.  On Sunday, there was a cookout in this area sponsored by one of our great lenders in Panama City Beach, Regions Bank.
