Are you searching for a home in Crestview, Florida with a private suite, separate entrance, home office or flexible multigenerational living space?
Then 5302 Marilea Court in Crestview, FL deserves a closer look.
This all-brick home in the established Lee Farms community offers approximately 2,988 square feet, four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a two-car garage.
But those numbers aren't what caught my attention.
It's the layout.
One side of this home includes a separate exterior entrance leading into its own living area, bedroom and bathroom, plus independent temperature control for that portion of the house.
For buyers searching for something beyond a traditional four-bedroom floor plan, that flexibility could make this property particularly interesting.
At the time of this tour, 5302 Marilea Court was offered at $389,900 — approximately $130 per square foot.
Let's take a closer look.

Price, availability, property characteristics, school assignments and other listing information can change. Buyers should independently verify information important to their purchase.
What Makes This Crestview FL Home With Private Suite Different?
The standout feature at 5302 Marilea Court is the home's separate living area with its own exterior entrance.
Walk through that private entrance and you'll find a living area, bedroom with double closets and a bathroom.
The space also has separate temperature control.
That creates several possibilities depending on a buyer's needs.
It could potentially function as a private home office, guest quarters, space for extended family, an adult child's living area, hobby room, homeschool space or simply a separate part of the house when everyone needs a little more room.
For a business owner or remote professional, the private exterior entrance may also be attractive because visitors could potentially access the space without walking through the main portion of the home.
Important: Buyers interested in operating a business from a residential property should independently verify zoning, community restrictions, licensing, parking, insurance and other requirements for their intended use.
Looking for a Mother-in-Law Suite in Crestview, FL?
One of the questions I hear from buyers is:
“Can I find a home in Crestview with space for my parents or another family member?”
This home offers a layout worth considering.
The separate portion of the property includes:
A private exterior entrance
Separate living area
Bedroom
Double closets
Bathroom
Independent temperature control
Natural light
There is not a full second kitchen in this space, so buyers looking specifically for a fully independent second residence or ADU should keep that distinction in mind.
However, for buyers who simply want more privacy and separation inside one home, the floor plan provides options that aren't available in every traditional four-bedroom property.
A Private Courtyard Connects the Home
Before you even enter the main house, another feature stands out: the private courtyard.
The courtyard is tucked behind a gated entrance, giving it separation from the street.
I could picture this area with outdoor seating, a small dining setup, plants or simply a comfortable place to enjoy your morning coffee.
Because multiple doors connect to this area, the courtyard also becomes an interesting transition point between different areas of the home.
And if you're considering using the separate portion of the house as an office, the courtyard could potentially create a welcoming outdoor waiting or seating area.
Inside the Main Living Area
Walk inside and the house immediately feels spacious.
The main living room features a fireplace and cathedral-style ceilings, which help open up the room visually.
There's space for both formal dining and a separate breakfast area, giving you flexibility in how you arrange the main living areas.
The kitchen includes:
Granite countertops
Center island
Bar seating
Stainless steel appliances
Whirlpool appliances
Plenty of cabinetry
Pantry
Just beyond the kitchen is the laundry room with additional storage.
The two-car garage also features epoxy flooring, so that's one improvement already completed for the next owner.
The Primary Suite Has TWO Walk-In Closets
Yes, two.
The primary bedroom offers high ceilings and leads into an en suite bathroom with:
Two walk-in closets
Double vanity
Soaking tub
Separate shower
Private commode area
Additional bathroom storage
Medicine cabinet
Having two walk-in closets is one of those features you may not realize you want until you have it.
No fighting over closet space here.
Additional Bedrooms and Bathrooms
The home has four bedrooms and three bathrooms in total.
The additional bedrooms offer useful closet space, including double closet doors in one of the rooms.
Combined with the separate suite-style portion of the home, the floor plan gives buyers several ways to decide who gets which space.
That's why I think this property is less about simply saying “four bedrooms” and more about understanding how the rooms actually function together.

A separate living area that gives you options.
