This is NOW a 2022 BUILD, substantially ENLARGED & fully RENOVATED. A once modest cottage is NOW a spacious home; with historic treasures- HEART-PINE floors throughout, SOLID beams on VAULTED ceilings in all living rooms. Big BEACH – 117 ft WATERFRONT !!! A RARE opportunity to own a very well built house, perched +-30’ HIGH overlooking Perdido Bay, filled with magnificent LIVE OAKS. It is truly one of the finest in the Florida panhandle; well, actually anywhere. Approach the home on all sides upon paths of large FLAGSTONES, and under the shade of oaks. Exterior: The timeless beauty of Cypress board & baton siding. Interior: Antique solid pine doors and some well-placed old wood wall accents. The ENTIRELY NEW kitchen- Stainless appliances, custom cabinets, stone counters, & white subway tile. NEXT to kitchen is a room with built-in workstation/pantry. The living room- Built-in bookshelves with window-box storage benches, flanking a wood-burning fireplace, 13ft vaulted ceilings, & two pair of French doors, taking you out to a shady 33×15 ft waterfront deck. More French doors take you into a screened porch with vaulted ceiling, & another fireplace- surrounded by oaks & view of bay -yay! PERFECT for entertaining- Audio/video system in the main & outdoor living areas. The charming ORIGINAL garage, which has been well preserved, is a statement unto itself. It provides an enlarged storage space, enclosed parking, and garden/work space. Massage your toes & play on a soft, wide & deep BEACH. New Thru-flow decking tops the pier; & there is a covered deck house. Don’t forget to feed Blue. He is an uncommonly friendly blue heron. More piece-of-mind- A whole-house generator. Financial PERKS: LESS storm risk & NO flood insurance required. Enjoy living far enough away, yet close to every convenience. Adjacent .57 acre lot is also available; allowing for an even larger expansion or a second home. This additional 40 foot water-frontage would make this WATERFRONT footage 157′
