701 Bay Cliffs Rd, Gulf Breeze, FL 32561

Bay Cliffs is one of the most desired neighborhoods in Gulf Breeze for good reason, and this spacious vintage ranch has indoor and outdoor charms that rival the property’s perfect location. Lovely Chicago brick in sandstone hues, a graceful roofline, and generous windows give the home an airy, expansive feel. A unique entry with a Spanish flare faces an extensive front yard graced by a pair of 60-foot pines. Step off the circular drive, and you are a 5-minute walk from the Bay Cliffs Preserve, where a trail leads to the white sand beaches of Pensacola Bay. Hike for miles along the water, or connect with paths that wind through the Naval Live Oaks preserve, one of the most impressive stands of protected, historic oaks in the greater Pensacola area. This rare nature access is all the more remarkable in that a 5-minute drive through the subdivision provides immediate access to grocery and shopping complexes, restaurants, and top-rated Gulf Breeze schools. Added to the property’s fantastic location and thoughtful design is a reimagined interior. A complete remodeling (2014) towards a clean, modern aesthetic and upgraded amenities will ensure your family’s comfort and well-being. One highlight of the open plan, a wood-burning fireplace in a long stretch of brick surround, accents the home’s original flow with bright built-ins; another, a huge chef’s kitchen, spotlights functionality with high-end cabinetry, a roomy island, and miles of counter space. The master en suite also has room to spare, with a quartz double vanity, double walk-in shower, jetted soaking tub, and large walk-in closet. The home’s interior is tastefully decorated throughout with wood, tile, and stone, effecting a natural vibe that easily transitions to a tiled outdoor seating area and sparkling pool. If your to-do list includes hiking, running errands, shuttling the kids to school, fine dining, or enjoying an evening outside, choose this excellent property for the ability to check “all of the above.”
