QUIET BEAUTY & WILDLIFE!! This beautifully maintained 3 bedroom/2 bath home offers comfortable single-level living in a peaceful setting with an uncommon sense of space & privacy. Set well back from traffic with surrounding wetlands providing a natural buffer, the property enjoys open land & generous spacing between neighboring homes--a distinctive quality that is increasingly difficult to find. The light-filled great room offers generous living space & proportions. Double French doors open to a fully screened outdoor living area, then on to the backyard. Custom plantation shutters add ease of care to a casual & comfortable Florida feel. The openness creates a natural connection between the interior & outdoor spaces while allowing abundant natural light throughout the home. The large kitchen is designed with a serious cook in mind, featuring low-maintenance, solid wood cabinetry complemented by granite countertops. New KitchenAid appliances include an induction cooktop, while glide-out shelving & a conveniently positioned dry-goods pantry provide thoughtful storage & functionality. The large primary bedroom extends outdoors through French doors opening to the privacy of the backyard, bringing in natural light along with views of morning wildlife & evening sunsets. The spacious ensuite bath is filled with natural light & features an oversized custom tiled shower along with a separate soaking tub tucked privately away. A James Martin vanity is topped with a distinctive piece of heavy cypress salvaged from the nearby Dead Lakes--a beautiful custom detail with a unique connection to the area. Years of good care have yielded mature & flourishing gardens, numerous fruit trees, flowering plants & beautifully maintained sodded grounds--a rustic privacy to be enjoyed in quiet solitude by humans & wildlife alike. A new 2026 sprinkler system supplied by a well helps maintain the grounds. Pergola-style structures add character, wood privacy fencing enhances the secluded setting & an outdoor shower adds convenience. A separate yard building with an overhang provides additional storage for lawn & garden equipment. The neighborhood has a relaxed character of its own. Weekdays tend to be quiet & less traveled, with a comfortable mix of families, children & neighbors of all ages. Weekends bring a little more activity as boat owners head out toward St. Joseph Bay & nearby beaches for boating, fishing & time on the water. It's a neighborhood that reflects the area's connection to the outdoors & the water without feeling like a traditional beach community. Just minutes from St. Joseph Bay & Port St. Joe, the location makes it easy to enjoy kayaking, fishing, waterfront strolls, wildlife watching or a quick trip into town for local restaurants, shops & everyday conveniences. Here, the appeal is the breathing room--open space, privacy, nature & wildlife--while still being conveniently close to the bay & Port St. Joe. Call for your private tour & LIVE THE BEACH LIFE!
