This sweet, totally renovated 1925 GULF FRONT COTTAGE is such a rare find on the island! The cottages that line the Gulf on 1st St. in the HISTORIC DISTRICT are rarely available for sale--and they don't last long! Enlarged on the water side to 1600 s. f. , the home has an impressive spacious master suite, bath and sitting area. The open floor plan's water front glass provides a glorious view, while the fireplace stands ready for that occasional bit of cooler air. Outside, the covered deck overlooks the inviting pool and the sparkling Gulf. Watch the dolphins and the sea birds, while you relax on your pool deck! Store all your pool and seaside toys, boating gear, and bikes in the attached shed. Walk to downtown food and fun! Beautiful!
