Whether you are seeking a primary residence, a personal vacation getaway for you and your family, or a short-term rental investment property, this home delivers the ultimate flexibility for a laid-back Florida lifestyle. This cinder block home was designed to be durable, and has been upgraded throughout the years to enhance the durability and efficiency of the home. Some upgrades include a high-quality metal roof, an enclosed sun room, and durable bamboo flooring installed throughout the home's living spaces. Fully paid-off solar panels offset much of the current owner's power bill, adding sustainability and energy savings to the list of items that make this home just as practical as it is charming. As you step inside the home you are welcomed by a spacious enclosed sun room that offers an abundance of afternoon light and plenty of flexibility to utilize the space in a variety of ways, depending on your needs. The options are endless, and the sun room could be utilized as a generous home office, a cozy bonus sleeping area, a game room, a kids playroom or home school learning area or even to store your beach kayaks and fishing gear, if desired. The sturdy tile flooring offers durability and ease of maintenance allowing you peace of mind that the space can be utilized by kids and pets without concern for longevity. The sun room contains the laundry room with storage, and opens up to the kitchen with generous cabinet and drawer space. The home's open yet divided floor plan flows seamlessly from the kitchen to the entertainment spaces and offers convenient access to the charming backyard patio that is ideal for grilling, enjoying meals outside, or listening for the sounds of the Gulf as you relax with friends and family under the stars. The spacious living room shares a wall with the kitchen and offers enough room to encompass an adaptable dual use space. It is currently set up with a traditional living room and transitional dining area, however, the dining table could be placed closer to the patio doors and the kitchen so that the current dining space can be utilized for other needs, such as a desk space, pet station, or an art or reading nook. The bedrooms are comfortably removed from the entertainment spaces down the hall, helping ensure a good night's rest even if guests are still enjoying the living spaces. The spacious primary bedroom offers a comfortable retreat with plenty of room for a king bed and a seating area, or a desk, depending on your lifestyle and needs. The primary closet encompasses one full wall of the room, providing a generous space for your personal belongings when compared to other Old Florida cottages. The bathroom offers a tub and shower combo and is located across the hall from the primary bedroom, ensuring ease of accessibility for all. The additional bedroom is located at the end of the hall, making it ideal for kids, a nursery or a bunk room. The thoughtfully designed layout of the home's living spaces provides an effortless flow for entertaining and everyday relaxation. The flexible floor plan offers the best of open-concept accessibility, while the intentional and well-planned divisions of space ensure visual separation from the rooms that tend to gather clutter the easiest.
