This classic beach cottage is perfect for full-time living and is located just steps from the ocean in the coveted, friendly neighborhood of West Gulf Beaches. Its efficient split floor plan features soaring ceilings in the great room, and the large kitchen boasts a walk-in pantry. The Florida room is flooded with natural light and has direct access to the living areas and the spacious primary bedroom. Two guest bedrooms on the other side of the home share a hall bath. Downstairs is an additional apartment with its own sitting area, kitchen, full bathroom, and separate bedroom. Storage abounds throughout the home, plus there's a huge enclosed garage with two tall overhead doors. Many recent updates including a new standing seam metal roof from 2022, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, and a heavy-duty cargo lift from 2020. The property is extensively landscaped with a variety of native plants and established trees which keep the corner lot cool and private - yet it's less than a two-minute walk directly down 12th Street to the non-crowded sandy beach!
