In Gulf Breeze, life is best by the water. Standing high and dry in a beloved waterside neighborhood, this timeless residence overlooking Woodland Bayou is waiting for you to come home! Built in 1965 and thoughtfully updated, this waterfront home offers classic American curb appeal, with a veranda spanning the front of the house in true Southern style porch swing included. Inside, an airy foyer opens to a step-down front room filled with clean window light, and to a formal dining room across the way. The foyer hall also leads to the great room, taking in a commanding water view through sliding glass doors. The updated kitchen features stainless appliances, including a high-end gas stove with tile backsplash, marble countertops and custom cabinetry — a workspace as functional as it is attractive, with extra cabinetry and a three-seat breakfast bar. Beyond the kitchen, more sliding doors and a sitting room with a half bath round out the common areas, with natural light throughout. The primary bedroom is spacious and airy with bright waterfront views, plus a walk-in closet, dressing area and shower in the home's original style. Three more bedrooms and a fully remodeled full bathroom complete the residential spaces, with abundant window light and closet space throughout; the bath features a double vanity, marble countertops and a marble walk-in shower. Outside, a sprawling patio takes in the waterfront view, with steps down to the dock — fully outfitted with a boat lift and water spigot, plus room for lounge chairs and dock fishing. Minutes from Gulf Breeze's top-rated schools, parks, the recreation center and the library, and just minutes from boat launches, Pensacola Beach and Downtown Pensacola, this home sits in a quiet neighborhood perfect for family walks and bike rides. This is Gulf Breeze living at its best — don't miss the opportunity to make it your own!
