Nestled in the heart of Blue Mountain Beach, just off iconic Scenic Highway 30A, this adorable coastal cottage offers the perfect blend of modern upgrades, charm, and unbeatable walkability. Recently renovated in 2024, this elevated single-story beach house is a true gem—featuring three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a private fenced yard ideal for full-time living, a second home, or a high-performing vacation rental. Step inside to find thoughtful design details including wood-look flooring throughout, narrow shiplap ceilings, and a cozy sitting room with a feature wood ceiling and chair rail. The remodeled open kitchen is bright and inviting, offering floating shelves, under-cabinet lighting, a striking glass tile backsplash, and ample floor-to-ceiling cabinetry. Whether entertaining or relaxing after a beach day, the layout and finishes are both functional and stylish. Unlike many homes in the neighborhood, this cottage includes two full bathrooms and an indoor washer/dryer providing added convenience for guests or long-term stays. With sleeping accommodations for 6 and the ability to sleep up to 8 with a pull-out sofa in the living room, it's perfectly suited for short-term rentals. Outdoors, enjoy a private deck for dining and grilling, a lush backyard with grass and tropical plantings, and a generous brick-paved parking pad out front. The home is quietly situated in the middle of the neighborhood, offering privacy and no through traffic yet it's just a 3-minute walk to local favorites like Mimmo's, McTighe's, Redfish Taco, and Cowgirl Kitchen. Additional highlights include a newer roof, updated HVAC system, and no HOA restrictions, offering both peace of mind and flexibility for ownership. Located just half a mile from the beach, this charming Blue Mountain retreat offers an unbeatable opportunity to own a move-in-ready coastal home in one of 30A's most beloved neighborhoods.
