Location and lot type are the two outstanding features of this quintessential cottage in Seaside, Florida. Just four lots from the beach, this delightful home is ideal for owners looking for a lifestyle incorporating morning strolls to shops and cafes or sunset strolls along the white sandy beach. This quirky retreat has a screened porch on the first floor complete with a swing seat for relaxing. A generous open balcony on the second floor provides more outdoor space and views of the surrounding neighborhood screened by mature trees. An open living room has rich hardwood flooring and multiple windows filling the space with natural daylight. Around the corner, there's a cozy dining area and a well-equipped kitchen with white cabinets, stainless appliances and black Corian countertops. Beneath the roofline, there's a spacious family/bunk room and a master bedroom with French doors onto the generous private balcony. Two bathrooms include a master bath with large glass shower and a freestanding roll-top tub for bubbly soaks. A paved barbecue area and a fire pit provide outdoor space for socializing behind the white picket fence. Neat footpaths between the homes add to the laid-back charm of this area and are ideal for exploring on foot or two wheels. The community pool, tennis courts and fitness center are just 100 yards away, accessible with low-cost club membership. Seaside's Town Center is a hub for dining, shopping and live entertainment and the stunning Gulf of Mexico is rarely out of sight. This freshly painted beach cottage has been carefully maintained and has an outstanding rental history. Rental figures for 2022 show a gross income of $105,102. The 48 x 50-foot lot (type VI ) can support a 22-foot structure with an additional 14 x 14 tower for enjoying stunning views, should the new owner want to expand or rebuild.
