175 San Juan Ave, SANTA ROSA BEACH, FL

About 175 San Juan Ave

Only about a mile from Seaside, but set back from the traffic of 30A in a part of Seagrove that has no HOA and a deeded beach access, this home is a quiet retreat in a lush outdoor setting. Mature tropical landscaping surrounds a huge heated pool in back. Giant front porches for outdoor entertaining - one fully screened -- are located off the living room on the ground floor and off the master bedroom on the second floor. The current owners used it for several years as a vacation rental, but have lived in it full time for the past couple of years. It has everything vacationers are looking for in a Florida rental: a large pool and outdoor space, a four-minute walk to the public beach access, proximity to great restaurants and shops,plenty of seating in the living and dining rooms and big kitchen island for hanging out on rainy days, parking for up to six cars in the palm-shaded circular drive, tankless hot water heater, new pool heater for the salt water pool, and poolside grill all heated by natural gas. The main living area, kitchen, dining, full-sized laundry, half-bath, owner's storage, and porch and pool accesses are all located on the ground floor. All three bedrooms are on the second floor, as are the two full baths. Up another flight of stairs is a small loft room with a twin bed for the adventurous one in the party. The third floor is designed to support an entire "stick-built" third floor if the new owner so desires. The entire house is constructed of reinforced concrete (CMU) and is in an "X" flood zone, so it is in effect mold -, fire -, and hurricane  resistant. That should go over pretty well with the insurance underwriters. Other important features: kitchen has flat-top electric induction stove with range hood; all kitchen appliances new in 2016; all (17) interior doors changed to solid core; living room has custom-built bookshelves/cabinets designed and installed by Maccabee; master bedroom has shiplap walls and built-ins in the walk-in closet; both bathrooms upstairs have Carrara marble shower and floor tiles and Carrara marble vanities; two HVAC systems and a built-in whole-house dehumidifier.
