220 NW Gilda Pl NW Fort Walton Beach, FL 32548

Inviting sun-filled 4-bedroom 2-bath ranch with many upgrades in the heart of Fort Walton Beach! The open floor plan encompasses the living room, dining area and kitchen, and the outdoors is brought in through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows/doors leading to your backyard oasis. Sellers extended the partially covered patio with pavers and built a gas firepit, perfect for entertaining or enjoying your favorite hot beverage on those cooler fall and winter nights. The newer kitchen features granite counters, a lovely backsplash, breakfast bar and stainless appliances, with ample counter space and storage. A lazy susan in the corner next to the stove and a pantry across the dining area provide even more space. Attractive and durable 16-inch tile flooring graces the (keep reading) common areas. No popcorn here, the common area ceilings are textured in spanish lace, and other rooms have a smooth finish. The primary and two other bedrooms are carpeted, with large windows for natural light. The sellers upgraded the primary bath with a custom curved quartz countertop and new cabinetry, creating space where previously there was little. A barn door entry to the primary bath adds another modern, space-efficient touch. The shower/bath surrounds in both baths are beautifully tiled. The huge 4th bedroom (or bonus room) is on the other end of the house off the great room. The large window to the front and another set of sliding glass doors to the backyard fill this multi-purpose room with light. The laundry room is off of this room, featuring a granite counter and deep stainless utility sink. Set on nearly a quarter acre, the backyard is big enough for a pool. You can already enjoy a quick rinse under the outdoor shower after a day at the beach. The yard building has electrical power. The sellers added fencing on the west end of the house, but left the chain link fence as well, creating an enclosed space that could be used as a dog run or for another purpose. While this classic house was built in 1959, earlier owners did a full renovation and tax records show an effective date of 1995. The current roof was installed in 2010, HVAC in 2012 and water heater in 2019. The lawn pump is new. Plywood hurricane shutters that clip in place will convey. The house is centrally located to both Eglin AFB and Hurlburt Field. It is also close to Jet Drive Park, with pickleball, basketball and tennis courts, a playground and picnic tables. Vesta Heights Park is 2-3 blocks away, with exercise track and fitness stations, a playground and picnic tables. Schedule your showing today! Buyers must verify all information of importance.
