This immaculate WaterColor home has recently been tastefully decorated to the highest standard by 30A Interiors. Move-in ready, this three-bedroom, three-and-one-half bath Florida cottage comes completely furnished and has never been rented. A paved path leads to an expansive screened porch where a comfy couch, table and chairs invite you to sit and enjoy the sea breeze. Double doors open to reveal an expanse of refinished hardwood floors, white paneled walls and light open-plan living. The family room is perfect for entertaining yet cozy enough for watching TV around the stone fireplace. The architect made extensive use of windows for natural light, cleverly screened for privacy with louvered half-shutters. The kitchen is modern with dark granite counters, Sub Zero/Wolf appliances and ample space for chefs to get creative. In addition, the home has a new wet bar with ice maker and two drawer refrigerator making it easy to be the perfect host when entertaining. There's a full master suite on the first floor with its own screened porch for quiet times. Upstairs there are two guest suites, both with classic marble bathrooms. There's even a perfect play nook, den or office area with space for day beds and a TV. Evenings can be spent on the full width screened porch or out on the patio which has a built-in BBQ and a brick chiminea for toasting marshmallows on cooler fall nights. WaterColor is renowned for its outstanding amenities including the award-winning Beach Club, community pools, an upscale Town Center with restaurants, tennis courts, boardwalks, a boathouse stocked with kayaks and paddle boards and an outdoor amphitheater for cultural events. The community occupies an unsurpassed location bordering the emerald Gulf of Mexico. The white sandy beach has pristine dunes surrounding rare dune lakes for birding, boating and fishing.
