The story
*ASSUMABLE VA LOAN* Tucked into the quiet, cottage-lined streets of Lakewood Cottages, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath craftsman patio home offers an easy, low-maintenance lifestyle just minutes from Pensacola’s award-winning downtown. Palafox Street, Seville Square, Maritime Park, and the historic waterfront are a short, scenic drive—close enough for dinner on Palafox, First Friday gallery walks, Blue Wahoos nights, and weekend festivals. Built in 2013 and lovingly updated, the home lives larger than its approximately 1,200 square feet thanks to soaring 10-foot ceilings, a split-bedroom plan, and an open flow from living room to dining to kitchen. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout. The dining area is crowned by a tray ceiling. The kitchen features a gas range, staggered cabinetry, a writing desk, lighted display cabinets, and a newer peninsula—an inviting spot for morning coffee or casual entertaining. The primary suite is privately set apart, with a generous walk-in closet and a spa-like bath behind a pocket door: extended vanity, extra counter space, and a large walk-in shower with a seat. Two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath complete the layout—ideal as a primary residence, lock-and-leave cottage, or turnkey investment. Step through the back door onto the covered patio, complete with a gas line ready for outdoor grilling. The fenced backyard is a true little oasis with a matching detached storage shed. Recent updates include kitchen peninsula (2025), flooring (2022), HVAC (2024), landscaping, pressure washing, and the extended patio. Lakewood Cottages sits in a sweet pocket of southwest Pensacola—just a short stroll to a neighborhood park and marina, about six minutes to the NAS Pensacola main gate, and an easy drive to the beautiful sandy white beaches!
