With 7 large comfortable bedrooms, Impulse Buy is the perfect legacy house for future generations or a dynamite investment property with outstanding rental potential.

The final two bedrooms in the main house are located within the privacy of the third level of the home. Follow the spiral staircase up to the lovely sunset room in the tower. This tower is special as it is only one of less than ten approved for construction on the south side of Rosemary Beach.

The balconies on each level of the home offer shaded retreats and are the perfect places for enjoyment of the Gulf breezes; a quaint portico leads to a shaded stone courtyard with a charming fountain ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. 16 gas lanterns are spread throughout the exterior of the home setting an elegant ambiance. Rosemary Beach offers some of the most lush parks and greens along 30A with 5 pools (one is owner's only to be completed spring 2015), hiking trails, a fitness center, yoga studio and clay tennis courts.

And of course the wide stretch of sugar white sand and glittering turquoise Gulf waters complete this quintessential beachfront town.
