This warm, inviting townhome is as close as it gets to the white sandy beach and balmy Gulf of Mexico. It offers unobstructed views of the gulf, making it an idyllic place to catch a sunset, watching playful dolphins and diving pelicans. Private balconies on both levels take advantage of the stunning location and sandy paths cut through the dunes to the beach for morning strolls. Those with a keen eye for design will appreciate the renovation by Pierce and Ward Interiors, poring over every detail of the vintage-inspired decor. Classic chandeliers and painted beadboard walls add interest to every space. Rustic pine flooring and a newly designed kitchen open up the floor plan while gulf views engage the eye in almost every room. The open living room has ample dining space for six and a sitting area for relaxing and enjoying time together. The refurbished kitchen has an understated look with distressed maple cabinetry, concrete countertops, floating display shelves and a lengthy breakfast bar for serving drinks and tasty snacks to hungry guests. Magnificent gulf views continue in the master bedroom, which has floor-to-ceiling windows and a private deck for tranquil moments of solitude. There's a guest bedroom and built-in bunk beds in the cleverly designed hall pass-through. Ideal as a second home or rental investment, the property includes dedicated covered parking, ample owner storage and a separate laundry room. Shopping, dining and entertainment are plentiful along 30A with the Seaside, Florida, and Alys and Rosemary Beach communities nearby. But, you'll always be happy to return to this delightful beach retreat at the end of the day.
