The story
Step back in time and discover the charm, character, and history of this unique coastal cottage! Located just 1.5 blocks from the water near West End Access 76A, this special home is nestled in a quiet, golf-cart-friendly beach community where life moves at a more relaxed pace. Originally built in 1950 as officer housing on Tyndall Air Force Base, this piece of history was decommissioned and relocated to its current homesite in 1985. What began as a cozy two-bedroom, one-bath home was thoughtfully expanded in the 1990s to include a primary bedroom, an additional bathroom, and a bonus room, bringing the total living space to 1,072 square feet. Inside, you'll fall in love with the timeless cottage character and craftsmanship that's hard to find today. Beautiful tongue-and-groove floors, walls, and ceilings, distinctive baseboards, crown molding, solid wood cabinetry, and original hardwood floors give this home a warmth and personality all its own. Situated on an extra-large 60' x 120' lot totaling 7,200 square feet, this property offers room to dream! Imagine creating your own backyard oasis with a pool, adding a second dwelling (subject to applicable approvals), or simply enjoying the extra outdoor space. With no HOA, an oversized driveway, and abundant parking, you'll have the freedom and flexibility to make this property your own. Numerous updates completed between 2022 and 2025 add peace of mind and convenience, including a new roof, gutters, windows, interior paint, toilets, hot-water heater, exterior doors and locks, leveling and primary bedroom support improvements, a refreshed screened front porch with a new door, and a new outdoor shower and sink, along with covered parking. Whether you're searching for a beach getaway, a full-time coastal home, or a property with room to grow, this one-of-a-kind cottage offers a rare combination of history, character, and potential in a desirable beachside location. Don't miss your chance to own a little piece of beach history! Schedule your private showing today and imagine the memories waiting to be made.
