This 2212 SF, 3 bedroom, 3 bath home with den and double living rooms sits high and dry in a non-evacuation zone (Flood Zone X) and is secured with hurricane-rated windows and doors. This 1940s bungalow is on an oversized lot (80x123) with room for an ADU and a pool. New fence being installed in the next 2 weeks!

This exceptional home was featured in Cottages and Bungalows Magazine and designed by acclaimed local firm Bee Studios, known for blending timeless style with modern function. Nestled beneath grand oaks that attract migrating birds and framed by lush landscaping, this home offers a peaceful retreat with a tranquil pond. Thoughtfully expanded in 2019/20 with an 800 SF addition, the layout now includes a custom kitchen, family room, spacious laundry/mudroom, private primary suite, and flexible den that could serve as a 4th bedroom. Major updates include PGT hurricane-impact windows/doors, 2023 HVAC, and tankless gas water heater. Inside, the home blends vintage charm with designer sophistication. Historic details like original hardwood floors, antique brick stoop, and built-ins pair with modern conveniences like luxury appliances, recessed lighting, motorized Hunter Douglas shades, and designer fixtures/tiles.
