Near the end of West Gulf Drive, past the resort housing district where the beaches are less frequented except for the occasional island neighbor searching for shells, sits an elevated beach cottage with a large porch and stacking slider doors that entice you to take time and enjoy the natural landscape just outside your door. The long lake views ensure the utmost privacy as you spend time enjoying your tropical gardens or relaxing by your screen-enclosed pool. The open floor plan and large deck extend the entire length of the home, which borders the lake, offering an efficient functionality that makes the home live larger than a typical beach house of this size. The updated kitchen has high-quality stainless steel appliances, including an LP gas range with double ovens and a spacious four-door refrigerator perfect for the family who loves to cook at home. Other features include a lifetime warranty pebble finish in the pool, metal roof, wood flooring, impact window and new plumbing.
