Property Description

Experience elevated coastal living in the sought-after, golf-cart-friendly enclave of Beacon Hill at Saint Joe Beach. Built in 2017, this beautifully maintained Florida cottage seamlessly combines turnkey comfort with versatile living spaces, all set on an impressive 100x100-foot double lot. Enter into an inviting open-concept layout with soaring vaulted ceilings and plush carpeting throughout the main living area. The gourmet kitchen is a true centerpiece, showcasing striking granite countertops, crisp white shaker cabinetry, LED under-cabinet lighting, a modern glass mosaic tile backsplash, and a coveted walk-in storage pantry, all set on waterproof Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP). Premium built-in appliances include a white Whirlpool French-door refrigerator with a bottom freezer, a gas range cooktop, microwave, and a Maytag dishwasher integrated into the island. For added convenience, a dedicated laundry closet features a matching Maytag washer and dryer set. Continue down the hallway—with a built-in linen closet and an HVAC closet featuring a REME HALO by RGF Air purifier—to a luxurious full bathroom. Enjoy spa-inspired features, including a jetted soaking tub, a wall-mounted television, a storage-rich four-door, three-drawer granite vanity, an integrated medicine cabinet, and an overhead ceiling fan for added comfort. Retreat to the primary bedroom, where a lofty ceiling and sun-filled tri-window bay alcove create the perfect reading nook. Enjoy both a standard closet and a spacious 6x6-foot walk-in wardrobe. Maximize your rental yield with the fully climate-controlled sunroom, a versatile flex space engineered as a high-occupancy bunkhouse or premium guest lounge. Dual single French doors flank the layout and open directly onto two independent outdoor concrete porches. Stepping out onto the private southeast porch, you will find a dedicated natural gas tap—an exceptional value-add feature designed to anchor a future low-maintenance outdoor grilling station or an upscale open-air coastal kitchen. Outdoors, the expansive, level 0.23-acre parcel features a concrete parking pad—ideal for your offshore boat or large vehicle. Located within the flexible Mixed Commercial/Residential (MCR) district and zoned R1, the property offers endless possibilities: envision a custom pole barn for your boat or a detached garage for added storage. With an energy-efficient tankless natural gas water heater and a freestanding storage shed, this home is perfectly equipped for embracing the best of the Forgotten Coast lifestyle.
