About This Home
As of March 2025A WaterSound address evokes luxury and style, and this beach cottage exudes both in a perfectly functional, charming design. The 2 bedroom, 3 bath home with an extra lofted sleeping space features wide plank oak floors, plantation blinds, peaked shiplap ceilings over the living room and 2nd floor master bedroom, Lutron lighting, oak cabinetry and mounted flat screen televisions. Natural daylight streams into the open living room and dining area which then flow seamlessly to a small breakfast bar and full kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counters. Soft aquamarine walls over crisp white wainscoting create a coastal aura of allure and simplicity. The loft space and walkway railings across to the upstairs master suite are seen above the dining table and kitchen for an open, classy feel. Quality workmanship and superior materials, fixtures and hardware are evident throughout the home. A small office nook is super handy for work or play, and laundry adds to convenience. The front porch is as cozy as the screened-in side porch, with a ceiling fan, pet screen and flat screen television. A back porch, enchanting pergola and open paver patio offer plenty of cozy outdoor dining and socializing spots. 253 Salt Box Lane is a magical beach cottage with character, quality and custom features. There is ample choice when planning the day's activities.Various paths, boardwalks and bridges over stunning dunes offer direct routes to uncrowded stretches of white-sand beach. WaterSound Beach also features four swimming pool areas, which are great for cooling off. Head over the sand dunes to the Beach Club, explore the local nature trails, play golf or perhaps meet for lunch at the WaterSound Cafe. Nearby Scenic 30A provides easy access to Deer Lake State Park, and fine dining in Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach and beyond.
