The story
- Pool
Alys Beach is a town built around the courtyard, and few streets hold that idea as quietly as Fonville Court, a short, private run of white masonry that rarely changes hands. It's here that 51 Fonville sits: close to town center and the Gulf, yet set within one of Alys Beach's stiller residential pockets, moments from Raw & Juicy and the neighborhood playground. Completed in 2020, the two-story residence unfolds across four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. White plaster walls, wide-plank hardwood, and exposed beams give the interiors a sense of calm and craft, with light moving through the rooms from morning to dusk. At the center, the great room opens fully to the courtyard, a gas fireplace anchoring the space. The kitchen is understated and has exactly integrated premium appliances, clean lines, a design as suited to a slow morning as to an evening with a full table. The primary suite rests on the first floor, held apart from the guest quarters above. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a bath, while a separate guest suite claims its own full bath and private terrace. Beyond the glass, more than 1,000 square feet of private outdoor living wraps the courtyard pool, the true heart of the home. A covered loggia and dining area draw the interiors into the open air, offering the kind of seclusion that has become increasingly rare in this part of Alys Beach. Impact-rated windows and doors, a tankless gas water heater, and covered parking for two complete the residence. Deeded Gulf access lies roughly five minutes away via Turtle Bale Path, with Alys Beach's pools, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, sauna, dining, and town center all close at hand. For the buyer who has waited for the right home in an established Alys Beach setting, 51 Fonville rewards a closer look.
