Welcome to a truly special Old Seagrove retreat where charm, privacy, and modern comfort come together in a way that rarely becomes available. Just one and a half blocks to the sugar-white sand and a short stroll to Seaside, this coastal haven sits quietly among mature live oaks that wrap the home in a peaceful treehouse-style setting. Large windows allow natural light to pour through every space while maintaining a quiet sense of privacy, making the home feel both bright and tucked away. Step inside and experience an inviting open layout where 12-foot ceilings, 7-foot windows, and warm all-pine floors set a relaxed coastal tone. The living, dining, and kitchen areas flow effortlessly for gathering and everyday comfort, and the kitchen now includes a double oven that enhances both hosting and day-to-day convenience. The first-floor bathroom has been newly updated, and the flexible first-floor bedroom continues to offer floor-to-ceiling bookcases and a Murphy bed, making it ideal as a guest room, office, or studio. The second level features two spacious master suites, each with a private bath and porch access. One of the suites now includes a large owner's closet that was thoughtfully added to maximize storage and function. The third-floor tower elevates the experience even more with Gulf glimpses over the treetops and an outdoor deck recently resurfaced with durable polyconcrete, which creates a stunning space for stargazing or enjoying fireworks drifting over the water. This home has been maintained and improved with care. Recent upgrades include two new AC systems installed in 2023, an updated electrical panel with surge protection added in 2024, and a brand-new roof completed in November 2025. With 9 feet of space under the home, there is plenty of room for bikes, paddleboards, beach gear, and storage that both full-time residents and vacationers will appreciate. Outdoor living is one of this property's greatest gifts. With more than 1,000 square feet of porches across multiple levels, including both screened and open spaces, there is always a quiet place to enjoy coffee, unwind with a book, or take in the ocean breeze. The backyard deck invites afternoons in a hammock, casual barbecues, outdoor dining, or tending a small garden. Three-quarters fencing enhances the sense of calm and privacy. All of this sits on a coveted 50x100 lot in Old Seagrove where you can walk or bike to beach access, Seaside, WaterColor, Publix, banks, local restaurants, and the trails that wind along 30A. It is a rare blend of convenience, character, and coastal lifestyle in one of the most beloved neighborhoods on the Gulf. Homes with this charm, this privacy, and this level of thoughtful updating are rarely offered. This is the Old Seagrove experience so many dream of but so few ever find.

Tucked along a quiet street just a short walk to two public beach accesses, this custom-built beach home offers a rare combination of privacy, quality, and coastal convenience on 30A. A standout feature is the detached garage with a carriage house completed in 2022, providing a fully independent living space with its own kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and living area, ideal for guests, rental income, or extended stays. With no HOA and no rental restrictions, the property offers exceptional flexibility as a primary residence, second home, or income-producing investment. Just off the Gulf, the setting is peaceful, with the sound of waves rolling in nearby. From the moment you arrive, mature landscaping, an expansive driveway, and a welcoming front porch create an immediate sense of ease. Inside, the main level is designed for the way people actually live, with an open living and dining area that feels connected without sacrificing comfort. The kitchen stands out with exotic-grade granite, custom wood cabinetry, a gas cooktop, and a level of finish that clearly sets it apart from typical builder-grade homes. The primary suite is located on the first floor for everyday convenience and privacy, while upstairs, two spacious bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. At the top, a third-floor tower offers a rare flex space complete with custom cabinetry, sink, and refrigeration, making it ideal for a home office, gym, or private retreat. Built with long-term durability in mind, the home features hard-scraped Brazilian walnut flooring, Icynene insulation, two water heaters, a washer and gas dryer, and a fully electric system. Every detail reflects a true custom build with no shortcuts. What sets this home apart is how it feels to live here. It's quiet, solid, and thoughtfully designed, a place where the layout flows naturally, daily life feels easy, and time seems to slow down. The West End of 30A is where people come to slow down and stay awhile. Local favorites, and a mix of boutiques, cafés, and art galleries create a laid-back atmosphere that feels worlds away from the crowds, yet everything you want is right here. Just minutes from Grayton Beach State Park and Point Washington State Forest, the area invites you outside, whether it's a morning paddle, a beach day, or an afternoon on the trails. This is the kind of place that feels like an escape at first, and before you know it, it feels like home. Contact us for more information or a private tour.
