About This Home

As of June 2022

Incredible opportunity to own a beautiful, custom built home with 103 ft of Bay frontage! The home is nestled among lovely pine, oak, and magnolia trees on just under a 1/2 acre with a sandy beach along the shoreline to enjoy. Located in a serene area on a private road where nature can be enjoyed to its fullest. The already existing dock is perfect for lounging while taking in the stunning Bay views, fishing, or launching a paddle board or kayak to explore the Bay. Easily add a boat lift & take a sunset cruise right from your back yard where dolphins are often spotted. This home has been meticulously maintained & has beautiful curb appeal with well-manicured landscaping & a welcoming front porch. Parking is not an issue with a detached 2-car garage & space for 6 vehicles in the driveway. The home boasts 1,798 sq ft and offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an open floor plan where Bay views can be enjoyed from all the common areas as well as two of the bedrooms. Tile floors extend throughout the common areas and bathrooms. The great room features a beautiful tray ceiling with recessed lighting & a wood burning fireplace. Lovely French doors just off the dining area open to the expansive, covered back porch where outdoor dining can be enjoyed with the stunning Bay as your backdrop, the epitome of coastal living. The back porch is also the perfect spot to sit & relax to the calming sound of birds singing & the waves rolling ashore.

The kitchen features an island and breakfast bar with granite countertops, recessed lighting, ample cabinets, and Whirlpool stainless steel appliances. There is also a nice size pantry located just off the kitchen in the laundry room. The Bay front master bedroom is very spacious with a lovely tray ceiling and offers a large walk-in closet and en suite bath. The master bath features a double vanity, linen closet, separate walk-in shower, and a large soaking tub to unwind in. Both guest bedrooms are generous in size, have walk-in closets, and a shared bathroom with a shower/tub combo. One of the guest bedrooms is also Bay front with gorgeous views.

The large back yard has plenty of space for children and pets to play or even add a Bay front pool. The home sits high and dry located in Flood Zone X. Just a short drive from the home you can enjoy several Bay front dining options such as The Bay, Farm & Fire, or North Beach Social, all located near the 331 Bridge. North Beach Social offers live music 5 days a week, a beach bonfire every night (weather permitting), fun family events, and seasonal beach bocce tournaments. Located in the same area as the restaurants is Bay Baits, a great local bait & tackle shop for all your fishing needs and they also offer guided kayak fishing tours, eco tours, as well as full and half day Hobie kayak rentals. The Freeport Regional Sports Complex is just 4.5 miles from the home and Freeport Memorial Park is a little further away at 5 miles. Get your groceries and everyday necessities at Publix which is just a quick 10 minute drive from the home and the sugar-white beaches along the Gulf of Mexico are only 20 miles away. There is a limited availability of Bay front homes, so stopped by today to tour this amazing property and secure your very own slice of paradise to start living that coastal lifestyle so many desire!
