205 S Lake Dr, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459
What's special
Positioned directly on Eastern Lake, one of Florida's rare and protected coastal dune lakes creates the perfect trifecta: EASTERN LAKE frontage + private dock + GULF views in from 2nd floor. This 4BR/4BA property offers a lifestyle that's virtually impossible to find on the market today: private waterfront, a private dock for kayaking straight to the beach, an oversized homesite, and true walkability to the GULF. The home itself is considered a generational home 'the one to pass down'that is unique to our area. Thoughtfully renovated to blend modern comfort with timeless coastal architecture, it features 13-foot ceilings, heart-of-pine floors, multiple fireplaces, and mature landscaping that gives the property a settled, established feel new construction can't replicate. With 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and two primary suites (one on the main level, one upstairs), plus nearly 3,000 square feet of living space, the layout offers flexibility for multi-generational living, guests, or a second-home retreat. Multiple porches and decks extend the living space outdoors, framing nonstop views of Eastern Lake from nearly every angle. Whether as a primary residence, second home, or investment, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own an irreplaceable setting: private lake frontage, dock access, walk-to-beach convenience, and room to expand -- all in one of 30A's most sought-after communities. It includes CONCRETE FOUNDATION PIERS to allow water to flow freely under the house This home can easily reach the beach from its dock or walking on the street. Very private setting and yet close to the beach and shopping and restaurants.
