About This Home

As of May 2025

On one of Rosemary Beach's largest corner lots just north of 30A, this elegantly renovated residence offers a serene retreat amid the timeless architecture of the Gulf Coast's most cherished community. Framed by mature oaks and a privacy wall of stuccoed concrete, the property feels worlds away—yet it remains only a short walk to the beach and the vibrant Town Center.

With four bedrooms and four full baths spread over three levels, the home is designed to host with ease, accommodating up to twelve guests. The first floor flows seamlessly through living, dining, and kitchen areas, anchored by a guest suite. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms open onto balconies for morning breezes and afternoon sun. The third floor features a charming, oversized bunk room, perfect for children or guests A newly added pool and several outdoor seating areas transform the courtyard into a restful haven, perfect for long afternoons and al fresco evenings. Renovated by Regal Stephens and featured in The Rosemary Thymes, the home reflects a refined attention to detail throughout. Owners enjoy access to five community pools and a private beach, making this a rare opportunity for a lucrative rental or a private coastal sanctuary.
