Introducing Bay Haven Cottage, where New England charm meets the ease of Gulf Coast living. Gated and tucked beneath sculptural live oaks on high elevation, this waterfront jewel claims approximately 100 ft on East Bay and stages nightly sunsets from a screened porch that runs 44 ft wide and 12 ft deep. It feels like your own private veranda by the water. Inside, real hardwood floors connect sunlit gathering spaces with crown molding, recessed lighting, and volume ceilings. The open living and dining areas flow to a generous bay-view kitchen with island storage, bar seating, and under-cabinet lighting, so the water stays in sight from first coffee through evening cocktails. The bay-facing primary suite includes a large closet and a tile-inlay shower, while guest bedrooms share a beautifully finished bath. 7ft encased windows and French doors frame the water and fill the home with light. Storm protection on every window adds peace of mind and potential insurance savings. The waterfront is the showpiece. A 120-ft dock with stairs and an 8,000-pound boat lift sits beside a seawall with riprap for long-term shoreline stability. Spend the day swimming, paddling, or watching dolphins, osprey, pelicans, and the occasional eagle glide across the bay. Practical luxuries include a 2014 shingle roof, 2018 HVAC, irrigation system, gated entrance, and two workshops with a carport. Set well back from the road on approximately 0.71 acres of fenced property with 311 ft of depth, the property feels secluded yet remains minutes to shopping, Gulf beaches, and an easy drive to Pensacola or Destin. Under the original roof-truss system, the residence offers approximately 2,450 square ft under roof, including the signature screened porch that turns every day into indoor-outdoor living. If you are seeking a full-time retreat, a weekend escape, or a thoughtful coastal investment, Bay Haven Cottage offers character, comfort, and turnkey waterfront access.
