About This Home

If your beach house wish list includes privacy, rental income potential, and deeded Gulf access, this one checks every box and then casually adds a few more. Located in a gated beachside community in Miramar Beach with 320 feet of deeded beach access, this freshly painted coastal white brick beauty sits on the coveted south end of the neighborhood with a peaceful preservation backdrop. Translation: premium positioning and extra privacy. The 4 bedroom, 2 bath home features a bright open floor plan and brand new floors as of December 2024. Spacious living areas are filled with natural light, highlighted by coastal tones and shiplap accents that bring in that effortless Emerald Coast charm. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area and an additional informal living or sitting space, creating an easy, connected layout that is perfect for entertaining or spreading out after a day at the beach. Designed to impress, it features granite countertops, a breakfast bar, coffee bar, tile backsplash, stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher, farmhouse sink, and a gas stove topped with a Jenn Air hood. The spacious primary suite offers a large walk in closet and an ensuite bath with dual vanities, creating a private retreat at the end of the day. The three secondary bedrooms are generously sized and thoughtfully positioned, offering flexibility for guests or even a home office. Outdoor living is just as inviting with a patio, firepit, hammock, and space for gathering after long beach days. Owners and guests enjoy easy access to the sugar white sand just a short stroll away, plus beach chairs and an umbrella for ultimate relaxation. Miramar Beach offers the best of both worlds: laid back Gulf days and close proximity to dining, shopping, deep sea fishing, and snorkeling.
