Located in the intimate Rose Garden Mews—where just 12 homes surround scenic Crimson Park—this home offers both privacy and walkability, just steps from the Watercolor Beach Club, shopping, and dining. Encompassing 2,016 square feet, this beautifully maintained property offers four bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, including a private one-bedroom carriage house. The main residence features three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, while the detached carriage house—complete with a kitchenette—offers a refined retreat for guests or an exceptional rental opportunity. Inside, the home is filled with charm and style. A recent renovation (completed in November 2022), led by designer Caroline Gidiere of Birmingham, includes blue-and-white tile flooring, stylish light fixtures throughout, fresh interior paint, and new living, dining, and kitchen furnishings that complement the home's relaxed yet refined aesthetic. The kitchen has been tastefully updated and pairs coastal style with practical function, offering a clean, inviting space for everyday use or entertaining. A newer HVAC system adds to the home's comfort and efficiency. Enjoy the quiet beauty of the pocket park from the welcoming front porch, or unwind on the screened back porch-an ideal space for outdoor dining. The main house has never been rented, while the carriage house was recently added to a rental program and is already generating strong bookings,making this a rare opportunity for both personal enjoyment and investment potential. Homes in this prime park-front location rarely come to market. Don't miss your chance to own this unforgettable Watercolor cottage!
