Step outside to a private backyard retreat designed for entertaining, complete with a covered patio, courtyard-style space, and a gated, above-grade gunite pool with new decking (2024). Wood fencing enhances privacy while maintaining an inviting outdoor atmosphere. A major bonus is the detached, heated/cooled ~500 SF in-law suite, offering a full kitchen, bathroom, laundry, cedar closet, high ceilings with exposed beams, and built-in shelving—ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or rental potential. Recent updates include a new roof (2023), HVAC (2024), high-impact energy-rated windows (2024), fresh interior paint, upgraded irrigation, and more. Additional features like hurricane shutters, roof clips, ridge vent, and a fully floored attic provide peace of mind and efficiency. Originally owned for decades by the family of Braden Ball, who served as publisher of the Pensacola News Journal during a period of growth and influence in the 1930s, the home carries a subtle connection to Pensacola!
