Property Description
Located in the coastal dune lake community of Lakeplace at Grayton Beach, this distinctive 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath cottage with a detached garage and flexible living space captures the spirit of old Grayton Beach. Tucked away south of Scenic Highway 30A within a private, gated neighborhood, the home is surrounded by mature trees and native landscaping, offering exceptional privacy and a strong connection to nature. Designed by renowned architect Lourdes Reynafarje and curated as a local interior designer's personal beach cottage, this one-of-a-kind bungalow reflects the character and enduring style of the original homes of Seaside and Grayton Beach. Rich textures, layered interiors, and carefully selected finishes create inviting living spaces filled with personality. Cypress wood sourced from the historic St. Joe Blountstown Mill was used throughout the interior and exterior, while antique oak floors from Olde Savannah Flooring add warmth and authenticity. Celebrated for its classic architecture and authentic Grayton Beach aesthetic, the home was featured in the book 30A Living. A spacious screened porch seamlessly extends the home's living space, providing an inviting setting for casual gatherings and year-round enjoyment. The floor plan also features a detached garage with a versatile bonus room and half bath, well suited for a home office, gym, or artist's studio. Beautifully maintained and move-in ready, the home is set on a generous lot with ample room to expand, offering a variety of possibilities--from enhancing outdoor living spaces to considering future additions--while delivering outstanding flexibility and long-term potential. Lakeplace at Grayton Beach is a charming, 20-acre gated community tucked away south of 30A. Bordering Grayton Beach State Park and Western Lake, this rental-restricted neighborhood offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience, just minutes from the beach and the beloved shops and restaurants of Grayton Beach. Residents enjoy thoughtfully maintained amenities, including a community pool and a lakeside dock on Western Lake, perfect for launching paddleboards and kayaks or gathering to watch the sunset. Set in one of 30A's most cherished coastal communities, this home blends thoughtful design and natural beauty with the relaxed, authentic lifestyle that defines Grayton Beach.
