Just over one block from the beach access in charming Crystal Beach, this 4 bedroom, 4 bath white picket fenced cottage cutie is 'shore' to please. Deep porches on each level surrounding the front of the home give shaded outdoor gathering space and a third story observation deck is the perfect spot to catch the sunset and a breeze. The open floor plan features travertine floors throughout the kitchen, dining, and living rooms, granite counter tops with breakfast bar seating 4 in the kitchen and a gas fireplace in the living room under the tv. An attached garage houses a substantial laundry room and provides plenty of parking and storage for beach gear; in addition, the garage houses the home's Rinnai tankless hot water heater as well as a traditional hot water heater and could be converted to an additional bedroom/bunkroom with additional bathroom or a living room/entertainment area. Downstairs are two bedrooms- one queen with ensuite bathroom that was recently updated and a bedroom with a twin-over-full bunk bed including a full trundle that also has its own ensuite bathroom that was also recently redone. Upstairs on the second floor is a spacious master suite featuring king bed and French doors leading to a private covered balcony which overlooks the quaint community. The large ensuite master bathroom includes a walk-in shower, garden tub and double sink vanity. In addition, a sizeable second bedroom upstairs features a queen poster bed and a daybed with trundle as well as a recently updated ensuite bathroom. Engineered hardwood flooring throughout the second level is easy to maintain. Crystal Shores has a community pool and is known for its Old Florida style with picket fences, lush landscaping and friendly neighbors. Two public beach accesses lie just across Scenic Gulf Drive on either side of the community, making the beach an easy walk or speedy golf cart ride for families. The restaurants and shopping of Scenic Gulf Drive as well as multiple beach accesses are easily accessible by golf cart to the south of the neighborhood while to the north are a plethora of shopping venues including the shopping, dining and entertainment of Destin Commons, making the location perfect for a primary, secondary or even investment property.
