About This Home

As of May 2025

Secret's Out: Hidden Grove's Best-Kept Cottage Is For Sale! Tucked away between the charm of Sandestin and the serenity of 30A, there's a hidden pocket of peace called Hidden Grove—a gated community framed by swaying palms, blooming tropical foliage, and a sense of timeless calm. This is not just another Florida Cottage. This one was hand-crafted by the builder himself as his personal residence—a true labor of love where every detail was chosen with care, and every finish tells a story.Step through the front door and into a space that feels both expansive and welcoming. Soaring 11-foot ceilings in the main living area create an open, breezy elegance, while 9-foot ceilings in the bedrooms offer cozy intimacy. Oversized windows flood the home with natural light, dancing across engineered French oak floors and highlighting the custom millwork, crown molding, and door transoms that speak to the craftsmanship woven throughout.At the heart of it all, a wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room framed in slate and topped with a custom mantel, it's more than a feature it's a feeling.And then, there's the kitchen. A chef's dream, designed for both beauty and utility. KitchenAid stainless steel appliances nestle into glazed bisque cabinetry with ambient upper and lower lighting. Granite countertops and a stone backsplash provide a rich, textural finish. But the showstopper? An 80-inch Quartzite island, locally crafted and impossibly elegant complete with double-sided storage, soft-close drawers, and seating for four. It's where morning coffees are shared, meals are prepped, and memories are made.Both bathrooms echo the home's refined charm, with travertine tile, granite counters, and Moen and Jacuzzi fixtures that feel like a spa retreat. Every finish whispers quality.Beyond the beauty lies unmatched substance. This home was built with energy-efficient, hurricane-conscious materials including insulated concrete foam floors and ceilings, cellulose-insulated walls, hurricane shutters, a metal roof, and privacy window screens. The HVAC was replaced in 2018, and thoughtful extras like front gutters, a lofted garage, and expanded parking make everyday life feel seamless.And when it's time to unwind, your options are endless. Rock on the front porch as the breeze rolls in. Wander the paver-lined paths through your lush garden oasis. Or settle into the screened-in back patio and let the stillness of Hidden Grove wash over you.This is more than just a home. This is a story of design, quality, and care in to every inch of a truly one-of-a-kind property. A lifestyle made for those who appreciate the little things done exceptionally well.Only 2 miles from Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, you're minutes away from the sugar sand beaches of the Emerald Coast. Shop 'til you drop at Silver Sands Outlet Mall or Grand Boulevard (just 3-4 miles away), and enjoy countless dining and entertainment options nearby. Plus, enjoy easy access to nature with a paddleboard, kayak, and canoe launch on the bay, located just half a mile from the community entrance.And homes like this? They don't come along often.Schedule your private showing today, and come experience the craftsmanship, comfort, and quiet luxury of this Hidden Grove gem.
