About This Home
Uniquely positioned in one of the most coveted pockets of Pensacola Beach, this meticulously constructed home on concrete pilings has been completely transformed into a sophisticated coastal retreat blending timeless waterfront living with modern luxury. Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, recent enhancements include a new metal roof, impact-rated windows and doors, spray foam insulation, heated pool, professionally redesigned landscaping by Outerspaces, designer furnishings, new Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, security system with cameras, and integrated Sonos sound system. Designed with a light and airy coastal aesthetic, the home captures sweeping sound views from expansive upper-level living spaces. Abundant windows and doors fill the home with natural light, while multiple outdoor terraces create the perfect setting for morning coffee, sunset gatherings, Blue Angels air shows, and Fourth of July celebrations with family and friends. The open-concept main living area seamlessly connects the living room, dining space, and fully renovated chef’s kitchen featuring premium appliances, custom cabinetry, designer lighting, and generous gathering spaces. Just off the main living area, a flexible bonus space offers room for additional guests, a media lounge, playroom, or secondary living area. The private lower-level primary suite serves as a serene retreat with sound views, wraparound balcony access, and a spa-inspired bathroom complete with an oversized walk-in shower, soaking tub, dual vanities, and custom closet. Additional highlights include easement access to the sound, a short three-block walk to the Gulf, ample storage, existing elevator shaft for future installation, and strong projected rental income potential. A rare opportunity to own a fully renovated luxury beach home offering the very best of Pensacola Beach living.
