Close to the deeded beach access and the community pool, this recently updated Florida cottage is in a great location within a quiet neighborhood. Shady Bahama shutters and three large porches offer an attractive Florida lifestyle both indoors and out. This charmingly beach house has a reverse floor plan, making good use of a lofty cathedral ceiling in the spacious dining/living room. The rich pecky cypress ceiling echoes the wooded surroundings of this leafy lot. Tall picture windows enhance the light-filled space, which includes a well-appointed kitchen. There's a lengthy bar with stools for serving drinks and snacks to hungry guests. Step outside onto the balcony and enjoy bird's eye views of the treetops from this private open space. The first floor has three attractive bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom, plus built-in bunks in the hallway. There's a well-located laundry room on this lower level. Doors open directly from the spacious master bedroom onto the outdoor terrace and garden. Just across the street, the community pool is handy for a morning dip before breakfast. If you prefer a stroll on the sand, you'll find private deeded beach access just minutes away. The owners invested $55,000 in renovations including a total revamp of the master bathroom, a kitchen refresh and replacement of all lighting. New interior and exterior paintwork adds a bright fresh look with soft pastel shades and seaside accents. All the attractions of Scenic Highway 30A are nearby for shopping and dining. For activities and entertainment, look no further than neighboring Seaside, Florida, and Rosemary Beach. Sugar-white sandy beaches, Camp Creek Golf Club and state park recreation nearby provide everything you need from this relaxing beach retreat.
