A Beautiful Florida Coastal Cottage that has been complelely renovated in the most sought after neighborhood of Elliott Point. This is not your typical quick flip house. This concrete block home was completely gutted and built back new with many upgrades and extras. To start, there is a metal roof and upgraded spray foam insulation. The exterior features a hardie cement board siding on top of solid concrete block. Then, ALL the windows are hurricane impact windows meaning no hurricane shutters are needed! This home has also been fully re-wired and re-plumbed with PEX plumbing. There is a new tankless gas water heater & a new HVAC. The exterior also has a brand new lawn pump, timer and irrigation system and has been professionally soded and landscaped. The all new interior has a lovely LVP driftwood plank flooring throughout. The brand new kitchen has white shaker cabinets and light granite counters with all new appliances and a nice breakfast bar counter. The master bathroom features a frameless glass subway tiled shower, marble mosaic flooring and a nice spacious vanity. There is white wood shiplap on the walls of both bathrooms adding to that coastal look. The hall bathroom has a nice tub/shower combo with subway tile. This 3/2 home on a 1/4 acre lot is the perfect little cottage in the heart of Elliott Point. Every updated detail of this property was carefully selected and quality crafted.This ideal lot backs up to a quiet section of Ferry Park and the wooded back make the backyard feel extra large & private. Enjoy a short walk to the Choctawhatchee Bay for sunset bird-watching or dolphin sightings. The Shoppes at Paradise Point and Uptown Station Plaza are less than a mile away, as well as charming Downtown Fort Walton Beach where you will enjoy outdoor markets, waterfront parks, festivals, parades, and a handful of pubs, eateries and live music venues. The neighborhood is fantastic! It's so close to shopping, entertainment, parks, the beach, and the many water access points to the bay. It's not uncommon to see neighbors walking, working out, driving in golf carts, or cruising on their beach bikes. There is a terrific neighborhood app that helps keep everyone connected and it's also in a great school district. The elementary school is just 2 blocks away. And, although the home feels modern and fresh with all the renovations, it still has the whimsical charm of a mid-century modern beach retreat. The gigantic Southern live oak trees in the backyard are gorgeous and they are also scattered throughout the neighborhood. They are one of the many natural delights which help give historic Elliott Point the southern charm and familiar beauty you will enjoy every day.
