This stylishly renovated non-rental Florida cottage is located on a quiet street within the beach community of WaterColor's Phase III. It enjoys scenic views across the lush preserve and has access to miles of boardwalks and trails — perfect for an early morning saunter through the community to the bridge, tennis courts, or quickly access your favorite Seaside, Florida, cafe for brunch. Situated on a carefully landscaped lot, this four-bed home greets you with a traditional front porch. Relax on the swing and take a moment to appreciate the serenity, broken only by the harmony of birdsong. The door opens into a light-filled great room with windows on every side. A white coffered ceiling adds to the sense of spaciousness while dark wood flooring grounds the dedicated living space. A grand fireplace attracts attention, flanked by built-in bookcases. Boasting pristine furnishings, the comfy sitting area is ready to be filled with happy chatter and memory-making. The adjoining dining area is lit by a classic chandelier. French doors open wide onto an oversized screened porch, which has beautiful views of the surrounding greenery. Retreat to the expansive outdoor sitting area to relax and socialize, or head down the steps to the barbecue terrace for a true outdoor dining experience beneath shady mature pines. There's a cozy fire pit and ample space to add a pool or carriage house at a later date. The open kitchen is the hub of the home with a generous central island topped with cool marble. It can easily seat four diners for breakfast or pre-dinner drinks. Immaculate white cabinets match the tiled backsplash and the white hood above the new cooktop range. To one side, a wet bar serves as a coffee station or cocktail bar, depending on the hour. An attractive guest suite with an ensuite shower room and a separate half bathroom is also located on this lower level. A sweeping staircase leads up to the second floor, which has two additional bedrooms and a family-sized bunk room. The master suite has a truly regal air with a canopied bed and a vaulted ceiling, adding to the drama. Dual-aspect windows offer views of the surrounding greenery, while a door opens onto a full-width porch overlooking a peaceful walking trail. A hammock provides the perfect place for an afternoon nap. Ideal for anyone seeking peace and privacy, this pristine, fully furnished beach house is perfect for full-time living or as a vacation home, with excellent rental potential. It includes a paved driveway and a carport, which is structurally prepared to convert into an enclosed garage.
