If happiness is a day at the beach, why wouldn’t you make it every day of your life? This home is perfect for the discerning islander who wants more enjoyment and less work. Custom built in 1997 by a prominent coastal builder and designer. Not all homes on the beach have this level of quality fit and finish. It is in immaculate condition both inside and out due to the meticulous care taken by the owners. Enjoy water views from the large covered front porch or easy access to both the sound and the gulf. There is an easement adjacent to the property that allows you to see all the way to the gulf. The owners created privacy using purposeful landscaping, obscuring the entire 1780 sq ft of covered outdoor living space from the road. This 1770 sq ft 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is open and airy with plentiful natural light. The ¾ inch oak hardwood floors and custom tile throughout really pop. There are 12’ ceilings in common areas & 9’ in other areas. Comfort & enjoyment come easy with 7:1 surround sound, mood lighting & the 50” linear gas vented fireplace that can produce heat or ambience. Other amenities include custom wooden plantation shutters throughout, a central vacuum system, monitored security, crown molding, and more. The exterior has a 2-car detached garage that was built on pilings, a rarity on the beach! There is a sprinkler system, off-street parking apron and 100% coverage accordion hurricane shutters. The roof is a high end GFA system installed in 2021, along with a new complete HVAC in 2019. The owners did a precautionary termite inspection and treatment for added peace of mind. This home provides you the opportunity to live large with sand in your shoes- the rest is up to you.
