Description

This all-brick, gulf-front home sits on 50 feet of open beach frontage in the heart of Panama City Beach, steps from Pier Park and directly on the sand. No high-rise above it and no HOA. Just direct beachfront access and uninterrupted gulf frontage. The 1,200 sq ft deck spans the full width of the home - nearly all of it just updated - built around what actually matters here: the view, the breeze, and the kind of Florida weather that keeps you outside most of the year. Mornings start with coffee...This all-brick, gulf-front home sits on 50 feet of open beach frontage in the heart of Panama City Beach, steps from Pier Park and directly on the sand. No high-rise above it and no HOA. Just direct beachfront access and uninterrupted gulf frontage. The 1,200 sq ft deck spans the full width of the home - nearly all of it just updated - built around what actually matters here: the view, the breeze, and the kind of Florida weather that keeps you outside most of the year. Mornings start with coffee and soft light over the water. Afternoons settle into open space and steady salt air. Evenings stretch into wide, unobstructed sunsets that run clean across the horizon. Inside, a full wall of newly installed, impact-rated hurricane glass opens the main living area to constant water views while delivering the kind of storm protection that matters on the Gulf. Tile floors throughout keep things low-maintenance after time on the sand. A white brick fireplace handles the cooler months. Five bedrooms and three bathrooms allow the home to comfortably accommodate extended stays, larger groups, or consistent vacation rental use. The gulf-front primary suite opens directly onto the deck. The property is currently operating as a successful short-term rental. A brick-paved driveway provides parking for three vehicles. Brick construction is a rarity on the Gulf. What was built to last has lasted - and in a market where gulf-front lots are essentially gone, the land itself carries weight. Direct beach frontage at this location, no HOA, no deed restrictions - the kind of position that's worth holding regardless of what sits on it. Whether the play is enjoy it now, rent it, or eventually redevelop, the optionality here is real. Schedule your private showing.
