Introducing a Masterpiece of Coastal Preservation in Seaside's Historic Rosewalk Looking for a storybook beach cottage in one of the country's most celebrated coastal towns? This is it. Tucked away in Rosewalk--Seaside's iconic original neighborhood--this rare property offers the quintessential beach lifestyle, situated just across 30A from the legendary Tupelo Street beach access. This one-of-a-kind, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home features an additional tower flex room and has just completed an extensive, meticulous 17-month renovation. To honor the cottage's pedigree, the current owners brought back the original visionary behind both the home and Rosewalk itself: renowned architect Robert Orr. The extensive reimagining seamlessly blends historic character with cutting-edge, future-proof structural updates. The second floor was expanded to create a true primary sanctuary, complete with a luxurious four-piece en suite bathroom featuring a freestanding soaking tub. Throughout the home, custom-milled 3/4-inch pine walls and ceilings perfectly match the originals--leaving the entire cottage completely free of drywall to preserve its authentic architectural soul. Beneath the surface, every detail has been engineered to exceed modern luxury standards. The home boasts sinker pine floors, milled from historic logs recovered from the Chattahoochee River, alongside new designer lighting and hurricane-rated windows throughout most of the home. The exterior walls were rebuilt as a vented rainscreen system with a fluid-applied water barrier and an air gap behind new cedar siding, managing moisture far better than most new construction on the market today. The roof was entirely rebuilt from the deck up, featuring a fully sealed waterproof membrane beneath premium corrugated metal. Additional mechanical upgrades include a new tankless water heater and a highly efficient two-zone HVAC system. On the main level, a brand-new subfloor anchors a beautifully rebuilt guest bathroom with a zero-entry shower, alongside a kitchen that radiates coastal charm. The kitchen perfectly pairs timeless marble countertops and soft blue cabinetry with a classic apron sink, subway tile backsplash, and retro-styled appliances. Rarely does a property combine this level of architectural significance, structural integrity, and coveted location. Fully furnished less some art and accessories.
