About This Home

As of July 2015

Decades of salt air carried ashore by the sea breeze has silvered the cedar siding of this classic beach cottage, set directly on the Gulf of Mexico, just east of Rosemary Beach. Located in between the only other two residential waterfront properties on West Park Place Avenue, book ended by nearly 1,500 feet of county beach front just to the east, and an additional 500 feet to the west, it recalls simpler times that can be enjoyed today. Built on milled pilings, leaving room for parking, storage, and a shaded swing beneath the home, the lay of this lot is perhaps perfect. The latest survey shows the structure in an X flood zone that does not demand flood insurance, with elevations rising upwards to 19 feet. As quaint as the home is in size, its screened porch and deck make it an... extraordinary get away. The property is currently in the permitting phase with Walton County and the Department of Environmental Protection for your future home.
