Gorgeous and spacious beach home just steps from the white sand beach, dining, shopping and all the entertainment options of downtown Long Beach! This custom-built 4 bedroom/3 bathroom home by Southern Paradise Homes was upgraded with hurricane rated windows throughout! Enjoy the gulf view from two separate porches - step out onto the large front porch and enjoy the breeze with access from your primary suite too; or open the double doors in your large guest bedroom to the side porch. Both porches have gates to keep the children and pets safe. The master bedroom is spacious with a large closet and built-in dresser; and the glass shower has plenty of room and two shower heads. Hosting friends, family and guests is a delight with this large kitchen! The over-sized quartz island offers plenty of storage along with lots of cabinets, including a separate built-in bar/coffee bar with undercounter refrigerator. Custom, rustic frosted glass pantry doors open to a step-in pantry. Off the kitchen is the laundry room with door leading to side porch/entry; here you will find a built-in sink, lots of cabinets and large custom-built bench with storage shelf and hooks for all your beach accessories. There are three more bedrooms which include a guest room, the large second guest room that steps onto the side porch, and a third bedroom with its own bathroom. There is also a guest bathroom in the hall. Downstairs there is plenty of covered parking as well as lots of entertainment space, including a custom bar-height counter! The downstairs has been enclosed for privacy and protection from the rain with custom slats that bring in the gulf breezes. This home is one you want to see in person to appreciate all of it's beauty and charm!
