With its rare combination of privacy, upgrades, and enduring style, this extraordinary retreat stands among WaterColor's most compelling offerings. 71 Sunflower St. is the lowest-priced home in WaterColor with a private pool, set on a homesite that backs to preserved land that will never be built upon. This captivating home has been cherished as a non-rental second residence and is beautifully furnished with only a few exclusions of artwork. Thoughtful upgrades include designer lighting, new Quartz countertops, refinished hardwood floors, new bed linens, designer-grade furnishings, and fully updated saltwater pool equipment totaling $20,000. Sunlight drifts through the home's abundant windows and French doors, settling into the open living spaces where imaginative lighting casts a soft glow over conversations that stretch from the Carrara Gold-topped kitchen to the deep porches overlooking the forest. Built by Romair Homes with a host of enhancements, the home feels both refined and deeply comforting, a place where laughter around the island becomes its own kind of ritual. The first-floor primary suite opens directly to a calming porch overlooking the expansive private pool, inviting slow mornings with a cup of coffee and the rustle of birds in the trees. Upstairs, an additional primary suite joins two guest rooms with private baths and a cozy bunk den for sleepover guests. French doors lead to the upper porch, where a swing bench captures the breeze and adds a nostalgic sense of calm. Outdoors, the private saltwater pool and whirlpool spa feel beautifully sheltered, framed by mature greenery and permanent open space. Indoors, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a wine refrigerator, a wet bar, and generous porches make entertaining effortless. Recent improvements include two new HVAC systems, new washer and dryer, and an array of new furnishings that give this stunning residence a fresh, welcoming, and effortlessly luxurious feel. Joyful neighborhood exploration awaits, from Camp WaterColor's pools and lazy river to Western Lake's boathouse and the gulf-front Beach Club. Woven through the community are parks, sports courts, trails, and boardwalks that lead to unforgettable days in 30A's most coveted community. An inviting flow, elegant design selections, numerous upgrades, and with a golf cart conveying with sale, this appealing residence is a true turnkey experience for those looking to make extraordinary WaterColor memories of their very own.
