Check out this rare opportunity to own a hilltop custom home with exceptional Gulf views on Florida's Forgotten Coast. This custom built home has never been used as a rental and has had just one owner who meticulously maintained it. It has the charm and details perfect for a personal residence, but also massive rental possibilities for investors. This three story coastal home sits on an expansive .573 acre parcel in St. Joe Beach just east of Mexico Beach and directly across from the Gulf. This property offers unbelievably large front and backyard spaces for a home that is so close to the Gulf. The backyard alone is approximately 100 feet by 60 feet, which is larger than many nearby lots. As a result, this home has nearly endless exterior parking opportunities whether it be for your boat, RV, or extra spaces for renters. All of this space also provides the flexibility to add additional square footage, especially when you consider that this property is not in a flood zone. The outdoor living space is where this home truly shines. The inground pool is framed by an elegant brick paver deck, creating a polished, resort like setting. Surrounded by mature, thoughtfully designed landscaping, the pool feels tucked away and serene something increasingly hard to find at the beach. The private outdoor shower adds a distinctly tropical touch, while the nearby tiled bathroom offers convenience for pool guests. From the ground level, access all floors by elevator or by an upscale traditional staircase no need to struggle with exterior stairs or a narrow staircase common in many beach houses. Also, the elevator offers handicap accessibility that is rare in multi story coastal homes. The home has hurricane impact windows throughout. The third floor is the heart of the home an open concept living, kitchen, and dining area designed to capture elevated views of the Gulf. A gas log fireplace anchors the living space, while the 30x12 foot front porch invites you to relax and take in the coastal breeze. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath, and one features its own private balcony overlooking the water. An oversized walk in pantry that could also be used as a lock out closet completes the thoughtfully designed upper level. The second floor is designed with comfort and flexibility in mind. The spacious master suite and bonus area occupy the entire front of the home featuring dual vanities, a large tiled shower, and a walk in closet with a custom shelf system. The master suite's generous 14.5 x 11 foot bonus room is perfect for an office, gym, nursery, additional sleeping space, or just a luxuriously large seating area. Both the bedroom and bonus room open to a full length screened porch with gas and water hookups, creating a peaceful, year round retreat with Gulf views. A private guest suite with en suite bath sits toward the rear of the home. Between these two suites sits a custom, built in laundry area with surrounding cabinetry and workspace, which blends in seamlessly and allows you the option to conceal the washer and dryer. The center of the ground level features a formal foyer and seating area leading to the elevator and staircase. On each side of the foyer is an extra large enclosed garage bay each with additional storage closet space. The right garage bay is expanded to accommodate a golf cart or riding mower and is complete with its own automatic rear entry garage door, while the left garage bay features direct access to the pool. Outside just steps from the pool is a quaint pool house with a bright, cheerful interior. It includes electricity, a ceiling fan, refrigerator, counterspace and a large sink. Whether used as a poolside lounge, creative workspace, or additional storage, it enhances the entire outdoor experience. Altogether, this setup creates an ideal environment for hosting seamlessly accommodating long beach days, pool gatherings, and effortless indoor outdoor living. Situated next to Veterans Memorial Park at Beacon Hill, you will enjoy a large beach access, four pickleball courts, a dog park, playground, and more. Unique Forgotten Coast experiences like scalloping and fishing in St. Joe Bay and evenings in historic downtown Port St. Joe, resort style downtown Windmark Beach, or charming Mexico Beach are just minutes away.
