573 Ricker Ave Point Washington, FL 32459

Tucked into the Daughettes neighborhood of Point Washington, this renovated four-bedroom, home sits on a rare quarter-acre lot framed by mature oaks draped in Spanish moss. Quarter-acre parcels are genuinely hard to come by in this part of Santa Rosa Beach, and this one delivers the kind of space, privacy, and old-Florida character that newer communities simply cannot replicate. The interior has been thoughtfully reimagined. The main living area features shiplap walls, wood ceilings, and a stone fireplace painted in soft white, anchoring a space that feels light, layered, and easy to live in. The kitchen is the showpiece: a generous island with seating for four, quartz countertops, a porcelain farmhouse sink, brass hardware, stainless appliances, open wood shelving, and a tile backsplash that runs to the ceiling. A bright breakfast nook with a built-in window seat sits just off the kitchen, with a dedicated dining area opening to the main living space. The primary bedroom features a vaulted, wood-paneled ceiling that gives the room an airy, cottage-like feel. A flexible bonus room rounds out the floor plan and works equally well as a home office, playroom, or guest space. Outside, the backyard is the kind of space families look for and rarely find. A fully fenced yard with a wide green lawn opens to a fire pit area tucked under the oak canopy, with a paver patio extending off the back of the home. There is room here for kids to run, dogs to roam, and evenings around the fire. Location is the rest of the story. Daughettes is a quiet, old-Florida neighborhood surrounded by Point Washington State Forest, with forest access just off West Point Washington Road and miles of trails at your doorstep. For boaters, Tom's Landing Boathouse and Marina sits just down Ricker Ave, the only marina in South Walton County, offering covered and lifted slips with direct access to Choctawhatchee Bay. Grayton Beach and the sugar-white sand of the Gulf are roughly ten minutes south, with Seaside and the shops and restaurants of Scenic 30A close behind. Renovated, private, and positioned in one of Point Washington's most insulated pockets, 573 Ricker Ave is the rare combination of a move-in-ready home and irreplaceable location.
