Unleash the full potential of this attractive three-bed, two-bath Florida cottage that sits on just over a half-acre. Located in the Pines of Blue Mountain community, it's a short golf cart ride (less than a mile) from several beach access points. The property includes a garage plus an unfinished carriage house/studio. The single-story home welcomes you with an extended driveway leading to a detached two-car garage with plenty of overflow parking. A traditional 35' x 10' front porch provides a shady space for lingering and socializing over long cool drinks. At the center of the home is an open-concept kitchen, dining and living area. Lofty 16-foot cathedral ceilings and a sunroom with a wall of windows deliver a bright and airy home with room to expand, if needed. The kitchen has white cabinets and a center island with wood countertops. It includes all new stainless appliances including a French door refrigerator. The bedrooms have a split floor plan for privacy with a spacious primary suite on one side and two additional bedrooms on the opposite side. Both bathrooms were completely renovated in 2022. The sleek master bath boasts a twin vanity and a walk-in shower with marble tile. A deep soaker tub completes the spa-like ensemble. The family bathroom has similar finishes with a frameless shower and single vanity. The sunroom is a real bonus, providing a bright and sunny place to work, enjoy music, or relax while enjoying views of the peaceful, private backyard. There's ample space to add a pool or create a large entertaining space. A well pump provides water for your landscaping dreams. Two more patios and a shady back porch encourage an outdoor Florida lifestyle. Recent updates to the home include a new roof, water heater and HVAC unit, all installed in 2021. The lot was connected to city water and sewer in the same year. Just one block from Scenic Highway 30A and minutes from Gulf Place shopping and dining, it's hard to beat the superb location that this beach house affords.
