UNDER CONTRACT, ACCEPTING BACK UP OFFERS. Welcome to ''Little Blue'' on famous Grayton Beach! Filled with charm, this characterful beach cottage is nicely updated and comes with its own private yard oasis. Beach fans, and savvy investors, will love the LOCATION just one back from the white sand and emerald waters of Grayton Beach. Laid out on one level, the cottage is surrounded by shady palms and has its own private parking pads at the front and side. Steps lead up to the front porch which tempts you to pause awhile and enjoy the alluring gulf and lake views from the cushioned swing seat. Double doors with shutters lead inside to the open sitting room with hardwood flooring. The soaring vaulted ceiling adds light and space to the laid-back ambience with shafts of sunlight pouring in through windows and French doors. Four stools are lined up at the bar ready for brunch or cocktails, depending on the hour. The surprisingly spacious eat-in kitchen is well-equipped with white cabinets, stainless appliances and generous countertop space. Doors lead off to two cozy bedrooms, a modern bathroom and a half bath. Head outdoors through the rear porch, passing a stackable washer/dryer on the way. The delightful rear yard has a shady deck for alfresco living and dining in your own peaceful oasis. Large pavers create a footpath through the low-maintenance landscaping to the grilling area and outdoor shower. After dark, gather around the fire pit with family and friends, socializing and toasting marshmallows in the glowing embers. More than just a beach retreat, this is a place for memory-making in a highly sought-after location. It's within strolling distance of the popular Red Bar, restaurants and shops. The cottage is in a prime area for vacation rentals and could be replaced with a new construction home in the future. It comes with a neighborhood pool shared with a handful of neighbors as the cherry on top.
