This quaint cottage in the quiet neighborhood of Exclusive Beach has undergone numerous renovations and upgrades in the past three years, making it a low-maintenance, turnkey option for primary living at the beach. Featuring three bedrooms and two baths, it sits on a beautiful quarter acre with large trees. It is also a short distance from the bay access at the end of Don Bishop Road, suitable for launching kayaks and paddle boards. The inside of the home boasts a living room with vaulted ceilings and a built-in desk, a split bedroom floor plan and a spacious two-car garage. The oversized 45' front porch, which was screened in 2020, is a cozy spot to relax with a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine after dinner. With no HOA, there is room to park a boat, RV or work trailer. A separate storage shed constructed in 2017, is the perfect place to store water sports gear and lawn equipment, freeing up the garage space for parking. Additional updates since 2018 are extensive and include new hot water heater, air conditioner, carpet, blinds, plumbing fixtures, front and rear doors, toilets, vanity tops, ceiling fans, light fixtures, laundry room cabinetry, fencing, 30 amp plug for RV, stairs to the attic and front porch, decorative exterior shutters, stainless appliances and a washer and dryer. The interior of the home was painted in 2021, and a pantry was added to the kitchen in 2018. This home on Cord Road in Santa Rosa Beach is conveniently located near schools, healthcare providers, shopping and dining.

CR 2/1
Conservation Residential 2 units/1 acre District
This district includes private, larger tract ownership intended for very low density use and enhancement of natural resource conservation or farmland preservation. This classification responds to a variety of circumstances such as limited development potential due to environmental sensitivity, including development constraints caused by the presence of salt marsh, wetlands, or floodplains and in these cases, land use is limited to clustered low impact residential usage and recreational activities compatible with natural resource and wildlife conservation.
