35 Rain Lily Ln, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459

Steps from Western Lake within WaterColor's Phase 3 - the coveted 'Lake District' - 35 Rain Lily offers a rare combination of location, instant livability, and long-term upside in one of 30A's most desired communities. The 2,611 square-foot single-owner, never rented residence features three bedrooms, a bunk room, and a library/flex space currently in process for HOA-approved conversion to a fourth bedroom - all built on a reverse floor plan that places the main living experience on the second level to capture views of the surrounding tree canopy and the sights and sounds of two water features. Tucked away from automobile traffic, the home is two lots from the Boathouse pedestrian bridge over Western Lake and the trail system which connects you to WaterColor's full amenity network: multiple pools, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness center, Camp Watercolor lazy river, nature trails, and a direct path with deeded access to the WaterColor Beach Club. Reclaimed 126-year-old Heart of Pine hardwood floors carry through every room, lending warmth and continuity throughout. Upstairs, 20-foot vaulted ceilings open above a living room anchored by a fireplace, while the kitchen is outfitted for serious use: solid wood self-closing cabinetry, a large walk-in pantry, granite countertops, twin stainless steel dishwashers, dual sinks, a Wolf gas range, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. The layout flows naturally into dining and outdoor spaces, making the home as functional as it is comfortable. Outdoor living is the star here. The front balcony and patio both offer swinging daybeds overlooking green space and the trail system. At the back of the home, a large deck provides the footprint for expanded entertaining or Design Board tentatively approved additional bedrooms. A fully screened carriage house connects directly to the kitchen and dining spaces and converts easily into an additional private guest suite or full mother-in-law unit overlooking a private yard primed for a sizable pool -- rare in WaterColor at any price. Below, covered two-car parking and bike storage complete the structure. Opportunities at this price point, with the flexibility for immediate use, personalization, or near doubling of existing square footage (deck buildout and carriage house suite) and a pool have largely disappeared from anywhere within WaterColor.
