Lovely custom built Florida cottage home in The Woods, a neighborhood of 46 lots on 56 acres, four miles north of Grayton Beach. There is a Bayfront community park and dock on the Choctawhatchee Bay. This home is nestled quietly on a half acre lot and surrounded by a natural preserve. Lot has potential for a carriage home. Or plenty of room for a pool. There are two screened in porches. One awesome wraparound porch at the front of the home with a sweet porch swing, the other porch bridges the gap to the garage. Home has a fresh coat of paint, new stainless steel dishwasher, microwave and stove. Built-in propane fireplace in the family room for those cooler nights. The hardwood floors are absolutely beautiful and are the "real deal". The home is being sold unfurnished. The new washer and dryer will convey to the new buyer.
