WATERFRONT LIVING without WORRY: Elevator! NO HOA! New Metal Roof! Dock! Boat Lift! This home, remodeled in 2023, is on a .47 acre lot on the HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER DECAMILLIONAIRE ROW! Elevated view (14 feet) of the Santa Rosa sound without having to worry about stairs! It has 3 levels of unobstructed views with the convenience of a $30k elevator. IVAN could not even take down this structure. This four-bedroom, 2 bath is a one-of-a-kind perfect family home (or S/T rental). There are an additional bedroom and bathroom downstairs but is not recorded in this description because it is considered uninsurable. However, it is extra sf under air. When you sit on your back deck, you do not see neighboring homes! As you gaze at the water, to the left, you have nothing but foliage and a vacant lot. To the right, you see the pristine back yard of a neighbor with no structural intrusion to your view. This is a designer home on a special property for the discerning buyer. When you walk up the Southern Mansion staircase to the double door entry, you are greeted with a grand foyer wide entry area with an artist designed tile flooring. There is a bedroom to the right and to the left as you make your way to the open concept living room, kitchen, dining area. Each area has wide and unobstructed open views of the water. The Chef’s kitchen has upgraded appliances with a gas stove. The elevator will take you to the 3rd floor master suite: cedar plank ceiling, spectacular view (sunrises and sunsets), and an elegant master bathroom (with a beautiful chandelier, separate power room area, and a modern shower built for “at least 2” is unusually large- size of a normal bedroom). There is also 4th bedroom that was made into an expansive closet with elegant built in shelving. The long concrete driveway, chef’s dream OUTDOOR kitchen w/ granite countertops & green egg (which conveys) with a flow-through updated dock and boat make this home the CROWN JEWEL of Gulf Breeze (For Living or investing).

Gulf Breeze, located between Pensacola Bay and Santa Rosa Sound, is a waterfront and residential Midway neighborhood with breezy causeway views and a laid-back marina rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Gulf Breeze Parkway (US-98) corridor near the Pensacola Bay Bridge, where bait shops, local seafood counters, and dockside patios set the pace. Community pillars include the Gulf Breeze Zoo, Shoreline Park’s bayfront promenade, and the Gulf Breeze Arts, Inc. gallery scene. Architecture leans coastal—raised cottages, contemporary builds, and palms framing wide streets. Daily life tracks the water, from paddle launches to sunset walks along the shoreline. Parks and boat ramps stitch the peninsula together with a distinctly outdoors-first feel.

Million Dollar Views! This unique property is tucked away on Soundside Drive with 74' of water frontage on the Santa Rosa Sound. Waterfront living at its best! The main level provides beautiful views from the veranda, with french doors leading out of the kitchen and master bedroom. Windows surround the spacious, open living room/dining room area to give a feeling of ''treetop'' living. The kitchen has great cabinets, a huge pantry, and large breakfast bar. The master bedroom has a large walk-in closet and full bath. The second bedroom has double closets and a cozy bay window. The 3rd bedroom currently serves as a guest suite/bonus room and is located on the top level (3rd floor) with its own private balcony and spectacular waterfront views. All windows and doors are fitted for metal hurricane shutters, which are neatly stored and easy to install. A solar panel installed on the roof runs the attic fan and saves energy throughout the year. The ground level provides covered parking as well as an enclosed utility/storage room. A sprinkler system fed by a deep water well helps maintain the grounds. This home has been lovingly maintained. You must see this special property to appreciate all of its character and potential!
