Property Description
Live the best of both worlds--bay & woods to beach in just 7 minutes, yet tucked away in your own private oasis in the highly sought-after community of The Woods in Point Washington. Ideally positioned in a serene, secluded cove backing to peaceful Ivy Lane and just moments from Choctawhatchee Bay, this sprawling, totally renovated retreat offers the rare combination of privacy, space, and location--with the added bonus of becoming part of a soon-to-be gated community! Grand yet welcoming, this thoughtfully designed home offers effortless first-floor living, featuring a spacious primary suite on opposite side of house from two guest suites connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath--perfect for family or visitors, so three bedrooms on main! Upstairs, a generous den creates an ideal second living space, flanked by two additional bedrooms for comfort and privacy, plus abundant attic storage, a rare find! Outside, towering mature oak trees frame a large fenced backyard designed for both relaxation and entertaining. Enjoy peaceful mornings or evenings on the covered porch, perfectly suited for grilling and gathering. But the true hidden gem of this property is the exceptional 534-square-foot detached garage, in addition to the attached two-car garage--a rare and highly coveted feature ideal for a classic car collection, center-console boat, RV, workshop, or all your recreational toys. New metal roof installed in 2021. Recent renovated baths boast porcelain and marble tile throughout. The kitchen features honed Taj Mahal quartzite counters and tile backsplash. The backyard is irrigated from a well, and the driveway can accommodate 5-6 vehicles! Tabby stone fireplace with LP logs. The Woods maintains its serene environ with underground utilities and provides fiber internet. Offering spacious serenity just minutes from the sugar-white sands, this is more than a home--it's a lifestyle retreat wherebeach days and private tranquility beautifully co-exist.
