About This Home

As of May 2022

Price reduced $400,000 for quick sale before home is taken off the market and renovated by owners! The name Watersound Beach is synonymous with the term ''secluded beach retreat'' and theres no better way to enjoy this charming paradise than by experiencing it thru the spectacular property at 98 S Founders Ln. Situated just one lot off the sprawling dunes that lead to the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico, this home is ideally located to take advantage of all the best that Watersound has to offer.
Designed by Dungan Nequette Architects, this beach retreat marries this area's unique style of coastal luxury with that of the Nantucket Coastline making this property truly one-of-a-kind. Staying true to the coastal inspirations that give this house it's indelible charm, there was a partial redecoration undertaken by Jamie Christ of Coastal Homes in 2014 that helped bring many of the spaces in this home to another level of effortless comfort. Upon entry, you're greeted by heart of pine floors leading you into a masterfully equipped kitchen complete with Wolf appliances. The chef's kitchen overlooks the living and dining spaces creating an open yet intimate environment that can be easily shared with a group of family and friends after a day at the beach! Walking through the house you will find four large bedrooms and baths each uniquely complimenting the feel of the house. Two masters, on the ground and second floor, boast beautiful en-suite baths and private porches for their guests. Above the two car garage is a fully independent carriage house with separate access sporting a refrigerator, cooktop and dishwasher. It is a perfect space for those desiring more privacy while still being part of this beach retreat! A trip to the tower room reveals a stunning panoramic view of the beach rivaled by few properties in the area overlooking nearly a mile of pristine white sand dunes carefully and perfectly preserved for the enjoyment of all individuals in Watersound Beach. Step onto the boardwalk in front of the house and you're instantly connected to the sugar white sands of the beach and waters while the same boardwalk will connect you to the rest of the community via intricately woven paths through some of Florida's most beautiful and protected native vegetation. Watersound Beach must truly be experienced to be believed.
If you have been looking for the perfect coastal "cottage" where your family and friends can come to make memories that will last a lifetime, this property should be at the top of your list! Sold AS IS and fully furnished. Last two years of rental history in the documents section.
