Coastal charm meets modern comfort on this private, oversized lot just minutes from the water. Tucked beneath a canopy of oaks and pines, this beautifully elevated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has been completely redone from top to bottom, blending peaceful living with meaningful touches of local history. Originally a 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage, the home was thoughtfully expanded and fully reimagined into its current layout. During the renovation, the owners added extra footings and replaced the former wood pilings with concrete pilings, dramatically increasing stability and security. The entire underside of the home has been fully enclosed, insulated, and sound-proofed, helping keep the interior quiet and energy efficient. The underside enclosure is metal tin repurposed from the original roof that survived Hurricane Katrina—a subtle, meaningful nod to the home's past. Every inch of this home is new, including brand-new windows, brand-new siding, all new sheetrock, fresh custom cabinetry, and Corian countertops with a molded Corian sink in the kitchen. The open-concept living and dining area is filled with natural light and flows seamlessly into the beautifully designed kitchen featuring brass fixtures, stainless appliances, custom cabinetry, open shelving, and a stylish green island with bar seating. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a beautifully tiled walk-in shower with gold accents. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, kids, an office, or all three. The second full bath is modern and inviting, and the centrally located laundry closet adds everyday convenience. This home now features both a front and rear stairwell, with the back stairs leading to a secondary entrance that creates a convenient mudroom-style landing—ideal for beach days, outdoor gear, or groceries. The rear stairwell is also the perfect location for a future lift if the next owner desires increased accessibility. Under the home, you'll also appreciate installed lighting and multiple electrical outlets, making the covered area perfect for outdoor gatherings, cookouts, workshops, or simply relaxing in the shade. Enjoy morning coffee or evening breezes on the front porch overlooking mature trees and your extra-deep yard. Located just minutes from beaches, marinas, restaurants, and all the best coastal amenities—yet tucked away enough for complete privacy and tranquility. A fantastic option for full-time living, a weekend retreat, or a high-performing short-term rental investment.
