With five bedrooms, three full and two half baths, the home is well-suited for full-time living, a second home, or a short-term rental investment. Thoughtful renovations bring a fresh, elevated feel throughout the interiors. The remodeled kitchen features new custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops and a stylish tile backsplash, while new flooring, updated baths and fresh paint create a bright, inviting atmosphere. Two primary suites, including one on the main level and one upstairs, offer flexibility for guests, family or multi-generational living. Outdoor living is a natural extension of the home, with private porches on both levels, mature landscaping and peaceful forest views. A newly screened upstairs porch creates a comfortable place to enjoy the coastal breeze. Above the garage, a bonus room with its own half bath offers additional space for a home office, media room or overflow accommodations. Residents enjoy access to a community pool, clubhouse and park, all within easy reach of public beach access, local dining, shops, hiking trails and bike paths. With Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach and Seaside, Florida, nearby, this refreshed coastal cottage pairs privacy, convenience and classic 30A living in one inviting setting.
