WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE HOME

The neighborhood is fantastic! It's so close to shopping, entertainment, parks, the beach, and the many water access points to the bay. It's not uncommon to see neighbors walking, working out, driving in golf carts, or cruising on their beach bikes. There is a terrific neighborhood app that helps keep everyone connected and it's also in a great school district. The elementary and middle school bus both stop right here on Choctawahtchee Rd SE. And, although the home feels modern and fresh with all the new additions and updates, it still has the whimsical charm of a mid-century modern beach retreat. Gigantic Southern live oak trees and the Spanish moss which adorns them are scattered throughout neighborhood. They are two of the many natural delights which help give historic Elliott Point the southern charm and familiar beauty we enjoy every day.
