Perfectly located three lots in from 30A and just a few steps to the beach or downtown Seaside. This beach retreat begins with three wraparound porches - savoring Gulf views, a cool ocean breeze and the melodic rhythm of the surf. Step through the double screen doors on to the front porch furnished with comfortable wicker pieces creating a welcoming conversation area. The soft subtle interior palette along with a unique blending of antiques and new pieces used throughout the cottage evokes comfort and sophistication. The open floor plan keeps the conversation flowing between the kitchen and dining area while relaxing in the living area. The hearth is finish with Cambria natural quartz and is the focal point of the living area. The family chef will enjoy preparing family meals in the kitchen filled with natural light from the bank of windows. Display your favorite dishes and glassware in the floor to ceiling antique side board. Surrounding the vintage prep table is a six burner Wolf gas stove with hood, Sub-Zero Refrigerator and KitchenAide dishwasher. Microwave and auxiliary oven are neatly stacked nearby. Cambria quartz was also selected for the countertops due to its durable nonporous surface. Outdoor dining area with gas grill is just off the kitchen. Wooden shutters were salvaged and repurposed as entry doors to pantry, laundry and half bath. On the second floor are two bedrooms, each has its own personality and presence. The master suite with upholstered and wrought iron bed along with natural bed linens creates a restful sleeping space. The guest bedroom and bath continue the peaceful tranquility of the cottage. Both bedrooms have private porches perfect for sunbathing or curl up with a good book on the outdoor swing bed. The entire 3rd floor is the tower bunk room with six sleeping accommodations for children to bring their best friends. At this level is a wrap around deck to enjoy gulf views as the sun rises or view amazing sunsets or star gazing. The interiors of the guest cottage are as warm and inviting as the main cottage. Sunlight cascades in from 4 full view glass doors. A fireplace creates ambiance in the living area. The kitchen is set into a spacious bay off the living area. The bedroom suite above features vaulted ceiling, soaking tub and private wrap around balcony.
