The property backs directly to a state-protected forest that cannot be developed, giving the backyard a level of privacy that is exceptionally rare along 30A, all while remaining just moments from Gulf Place restaurants, shops, and entertainment, Ed Walline Beach Access, and the sugar-white beaches of 30A.
Since purchasing the home, the current owner has invested strongly into thoughtful upgrades inside and out. The living room ceiling was raised to 12 feet and finished with wood beams, creating a dramatic, light-filled gathering space. The kitchen was reimagined with an expanded island, farmhouse sink, gas range, and a custom walk-in butler's pantry with a beverage refrigerator, complemented by a new refrigerator and range installed in 2025. Both secondary en suite bathrooms were fully renovated with tiled walk-in showers in place of tubs, and the entire interior was freshly repainted.
The outdoor living experience is equally impressive. A spacious covered porch with added gas fireplace, television, and living area overlooks the private backyard. There, an expansive pool, spa, extended paver deck, and artificial turf lounge area create a resort-like setting framed by mature pines and the protected forest beyond. Professional landscaping, including new turf, sod, and thoughtfully relocated shrubs and river rock completes the grounds front and back. An exterior storage shed offers convenient space for gardening tools and beach gear, keeping the garages free for vehicles. This is a rare opportunity to own a fully updated, move-in-ready home in one of 30A's most private settings, featuring the natural buffer of protected forest that cannot be developed.
