Property Description
Perfectly combining Island Beach House with Southern Charm, this incredible home sits along a quiet shell road that leads to the Gulf: amazing proximity to the beach with no roads to cross! With a double lot, expansive pool area, welcoming front and back porches, high ceilings, large rooms, and custom features, this is an incredible opportunity. The gracious front steps lead to a spacious covered porch that is just perfect for enjoying this spectacular location. The huge primary bedroom is on the main living level along with an additional bedroom, a den, a large eat-in kitchen, and a fabulous living and dining room. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms, a sitting room, and a fabulous sun porch provide plenty of room for family or guests. A vertical platform lift at the back porch makes access to the home easy and makes carrying luggage and groceries a breeze! Huge amounts of storage are available in the eaves and under the house. A fenced area in addition to the pool area is perfect for a dog run. This wonderful property is much more than a beach house.... it is ready to be your island home!
