146 Red Bird Ln, Port St. Joe, FL 32456

Property Description

Some of the prettiest miles on the Forgotten Coast end at Indian Pass. The road narrows, the pines and palmettos close in, and then the Gulf opens up just beyond the dunes. Red Bird Lane sits in that quiet stretch past the Indian Pass Raw Bar, a first tier home in Redbird Beach where the sand is just a short stroll away and the loudest thing around is usually the surf. This house was built for a crowd. Seven bedrooms, six full baths, and two half baths spread across four levels and 3,780 heated square feet, with an elevator connecting them all. The main living floor is open and easy, with the kitchen, dining, and living areas flowing together around a breakfast bar finished in quartz. Hardwood floors carry throughout, and the baths have been redone with marble-look tile and glass showers. The master suite has its own sitting area, a private deck, and a bath with a separate tub and shower. For the younger crowd there are built-in bunk rooms, a top-floor bedroom that sleeps six, and a hideaway playroom tucked under the eaves. Two pool-level king suites open straight onto the deck. It's being sold fully furnished and equipped. Outside, a private heated saltwater pool sits inside a fenced paver deck, with an outdoor shower and gas grill close at hand. A big screened deck off the main living floor looks out toward the Gulf, and the porches below catch the breeze from every level. A short path through the dunes leads to the beach. The home also carries a strong rental history with Cape and Coast, so it can earn its keep when the family isn't there. Port St. Joe is about fifteen miles to the northeast, with its marina, shops, and restaurants along Reid Avenue, and Apalachicola is roughly thirty miles east. Cape San Blas and St. Joseph Peninsula State Park are a short drive up the road. Closer to home, the Indian Pass Raw Bar is under two miles away, which around here counts as a selling point all on its own.
