417 Montrose Blvd Gulf Breeze, FL 32561

French creole style coupled with Old Chicago-style brick make this beautiful home in the heart of Gulf Breeze a rare find! A large circular driveway and picturesque landscaping give welcoming curb appeal. Brick steps up to the Mahogany double French doors lead into an oversized foyer with high ceilings and phenomenal brick floors. A formal dining room flanks the large, well-appointed kitchen, complete with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, solid wood cabinetry, and pocket doors. An oversized laundry room and hobby room are a total treat, as well as the Media room with 2 separate built-ins for workspace and/or homework areas, which are large enough for a children’s den or playroom. French doors in the family room open onto the covered back porch overlooking the inground swimming pool. A gas fireplace is a welcome addition to the family room. A separate in-law/guest suite also overlooks the pool and is a wonderfully private space with a full bath for guests and plumbing stubbed in for a kitchenette. Storage is a breeze with significant amount of interior and exterior storage options, including numerous walk-in closets, a large outdoor storage shed, and an oversized two car garage. Another bonus is the large, air-conditioned artist studio, which would also be a perfect workout space. Circular and extended drive offer plenty of room for cars, rv, and boat. The backyard has a “secret garden” feel, complete with mature landscaping and a private area for evening fires near the pool. This home is steps to Gilmore Bayou with pedestrian, paddle board, and kayak access. The location is also a short drive to world class beaches, city parks, historic downtown Pensacola, top rated schools, medical facilities, shopping, and dining.
