139 Banfill St, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459

Recently reduced $200,000! Make offer! This southern classic coastal home has several features that make it quite unique for Grayton Beach. It's only one of three homes in Grayton that have backyard dock access to Western Lake and also commands enticing views of the Gulf of Mexico ... the beach boardwalk is just across the quaint street in front of the house. It offers memorable inside-outside living, with generous wrap-around screened and open porches, shaded by overhangs keeping the sun off and breezes flowing in through the live oak trees and saw palmettos. Lots of windows let in fresh daylight and ceiling fans create a cool breeze throughout. The design flows seamlessly between the wonderful sleeping porches remembered from childhood to gracious living and eating spaces on decks and the covered lake dock. The Grayton community maintains a casual aura. Here you can have a beer with a suntanned fisherman in a swimsuit or a glass of Merlot with a couple from Paris, all in the same setting. Rarely do we have an opportunity to seize a legacy beach home, accompanied by the many years of love and care, memories and respect, that's evident in it today. However, 139 Banfill, located directly on Western Lake in Grayton Beach, is offered for sale. The Lewis family has owned this property for nearly 70 years. Graciously greet the stunning sunrise over the lake on the large covered upstairs porch facing East...a place to just relax in the hammock, have coffee and feel blessed. There is 50 feet of covered parking which leads to a handicap access ramp. Three bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths (with an additional hot/cold covered outside shower) were ample for this family. Sleeping on the porches and the living room daybed were premium spots...but you could enclose them if you needed more heated and cooled space. If your family is large, there are very convenient expansion possibilities within the same footprint of the house and storage facility—rare for Grayton Beach. The 100 feet of decking to your own private dock on Western Lake gives way to family cookouts, kayaking, canoeing, Yolo boarding, and fishing/crabbing. If you're waiting to make a life time of memories...in this soulful place, as four generations of Lewis's have...your wait is over. What a unique environ. Here our hearts are still slow-tuned to a more simple, magical past, and are merged with the imagination, allure and conveniences of the present. All measurements and dimensions are estimates and buyer should verify this and any other information they deem important. Offered AS IS, unfurnished.
