Tucked beneath a charming Dutch-barn-style roofline, this quintessential beach cottage is set behind a white picket fence. It's superbly located for enjoying the nearby beach and plentiful WaterSound amenities. Recently refreshed with new flooring, new paint, HVAC, hot water heater, and furniture, this delightful home is the perfect beach retreat. The open-concept living/dining area is light and bright with a profusion of windows and a cozy fireplace feature. Full-height cupboards in the well-appointed kitchen offer plenty of storage along with a range of stainless appliances. It's the natural hub of the home, designed for easily serving up everything from breakfast pancakes to pre-dinner cocktails at the stylish breakfast bar. Two bedrooms on the first floor offer stair-free access and both have ensuite bathrooms, along with another bathroom on this level. Head upstairs to the master suite, currently boasting two queen beds and room to spare. It has a beautiful ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and a deep clawfoot tub for bubbly relaxation. After a day of shopping, sunshine and sand, look forward to enjoying pleasant sea breezes on one of the three porches, including one screened. The private yard and raised deck create a laid-back haven for family barbecues and stargazing. A paved driveway accommodates several cars. Set in an upscale gulf-front community, this home has a host of activities just a golf cart ride away. Gorgeous community pools, parks, boardwalks, a fitness center and putting green are complemented by the beautiful white sandy beach just three blocks from the door. World-class dining, shopping and activities are within easy reach, including The Big Chill (formerly The Hub) and open-air concerts on the green. Currently used as a vacation rental, this adorable property has bookings into the fall.
