Property DescriptionOPEN HOUSE SUN 8/16 1-3PM! All-Brick Waterfront Home | Direct Gulf Access | Over ½ Acre | NO HOA | Exceptional Privacy I New Flooring I Newly Painted.
Rare opportunity to own over half an acre of private waterfront with no HOA and complete freedom to make the property your own. A dense natural tree line along the back of the lot creates exceptional privacy--you won't see neighbors across the canal, giving you a true sense of seclusion while still enjoying direct waterfront living.
This charming all-brick 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers more than 2,400 sq ft of living space filled with natural light, new flooring throughout, and a fresh interior paint job. Approximately 100 feet of natural shoreline--one of the few remaining natural shorelines in the area--provides easy, soft access for kayaking and paddleboarding, plus a private dock for launching your boat.
Cruise less than 9 nautical miles to the crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches of Shell Island, or head about 11 nautical miles through the pass to open water for deep-sea fishing. Panama City Beach is less than 3 miles away, Tyndall Air Force Base is approximately 15 miles away, and grocery stores and shopping are located nearby.
Inside
An open, inviting living and dining area centers on a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen features a breakfast bar, warm wood cabinetry, and granite countertops that flow into the formal dining space. You'll also find a dining nook, a dedicated formal dining room, and a versatile bonus space next to the living room--ideal as a home office or extra dining area. The spacious master suite includes a walk-in closet and a private bath with a walk-in tile shower. Three additional bedrooms share a full bathroom featuring a tiled tub/shower combo. A large laundry room makes daily living effortless.
Outdoor Living
Step outside to your private waterfront oasis. Enjoy the included hot tub, entertain around the built-in gas and charcoal grill, or gather at the firepit on cooler evenings. The expansive backyard is large enough for a pool, play area, or garden, with two storage sheds and a beautiful orange tree adding charm and fresh citrus. A sprinkler system covers the front and back yards. The home sits on a well-and-septic system with an instant hot-water heater under the sink. Roof is approximately 2017. All-brick construction.
This rare waterfront gem combines classic Florida charm, modern updates, natural shoreline access, unmatched privacy from the tree-lined canal, and unbeatable boating convenience--without HOA restrictions. Ideal as a primary residence, weekend getaway, or investment. All sizes, distances, and ages are approximate; please verify if important.
