325 Gladys St Fort Walton Beach, FL 32547

One of the cutest homes, if not THE CUTEST HOME in Ft. Walton Beach on the market today. This adorable home would make a fantastic family home. INVESTORS this would be a great addition to your portfolio as an amazing Air BnB rental, with it's beachy look and close proximity to beaches, bases, shopping etc. Also even a great long term rental in these times with many renters needing housing. Charming Old Florida style meets mid century modern that is conveniently located 10 minutes to Eglin AFB, 15 minutes to Hurlburt Field and 10 minutes to our famous sugar white sandy beaches. Yes, this home is a cozy, which means a smaller, 3 bedroom 1 bath home. But what it lacks in size it excels in charm. The 12'x 24' living room feels large with it's high vaulted ceiling, and lots of light from the fl oor to ceiling dramatic angled picture windows, and the 104" wide sliding glass door that leads to the separately cooled and heated Florida Room with actual windows, giving an extra 155 sq. ft. not included in the listed square footage. The bathroom is roomy. This home is a labor of love and has sentimental meaning to the seller, who is also the listing agent. Several family members lived here including the selling agent, who lived here for 28 years. Since moving out in Spring of 2021 a new metal roof was installed, new HVAC, new shaker style kitchen cabinets with quartz counters, new stainless steel appliances, new interior doors. The bathroom upgrades include a new vanity, toilet, lighting, flooring, beadboard, paint and in 2012 a new tub remodel from Bathfitters. In the past few months of 2022 more upgrades include fully rewired copper wiring, new stainless fridge, all new flooring, new baseboards and door trim, interior completely freshly painted, all walls and ceilings newly textured and exterior landscaping. Water heater installed in 2017. Gas central heat and gas water heater helps with the ever increasing FLP electric bills. Sitting on a nice sized .27 acre lot there's a large paver patio and plenty of back yard space for a pool, RV or boat parking of just tons a space to run around. Feeling hungry but don't want to cook? In just a few blocks radius is The Pallet Bar and Grill with great food and atmosphere, Taco Town, Racetrack Cafe Thai Restaurant, Osan's Korean Restaurant, Fuego Cafe & Grill, 2 pizza chains and Publix for the best subs around, or to buy your groceries. VERY IMPORTANT, when obtaining insurance for a home purchase. Insurance companies don't want to insure homes with old cloth wiring or aluminum wiring, roofs over 15 years old, HVAC or water heaters over 10 years old. They may flat out deny writing insurance altogether, they may give you coverage at an extremely high rate, or even worse cover you in order to close, then months after you buy, force you to make expensive upgrades such as new roof, or rewire or face being dropped. So, a house with this many new systems is a much wiser choice. Call your favorite agent for a personal tour, if you think this cute home would work for you.
