Beach House

This quintessential beach house has every feature you could wish for - a raised front porch just waiting for a rocking chair, a newly painted wood-clad exterior, light bright living space with fireplace, and a wooden deck with outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day at the beach. As well as being just a short bike ride to one of Florida's most idyllic white sandy beaches, this lovely home is also close to Draper Lake. Take a stroll to this rare coastal dune lake for fishing, boating, standup paddle boarding and enjoying the local ecosystem and marine life. This well presented home has recently had a makeover with new paint and kitchen appliances, replacement HVAC and upgraded light fixtures. Wood flooring provides a continuous flow from the sitting room with fireplace to the open plan dining area and spacious white kitchen. There is one guest room and a full bath located downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs include access to the second floor porch for quiet reading and relaxing. The outside living area has not been overlooked with new landscaping, a paved driveway and attractive sealed deck. It's the perfect place to chill out with drinks at the end of a busy day and perhaps throw a few marinated steaks on the grill. There's another upside - this home has no HOA as it is not in a neighborhood community. However, new owners have the option to pay $900 per year to use the amenities at nearby Villages of Blue Mountain with pool, cabana, fitness center and shuffleboard courts. Located at the highest elevation along Florida's Gulf Coast, the native blue lupines give this scenic area its name. As the only three bedroom home south of 30A at the west end for under $500k, this could be a deal worth snapping up.
