The story
Tired of the "cookie-cutter" feel of new construction homes? Welcome to 7148 Whirlybird, a property that offers the one thing modern developments often lack: space to breathe. Priced affordably, this home is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants the privacy of a detached residence without the hefty price tag. The location is a major plus, offering quick access to the interstate and a variety of local shopping options. It’s also perfectly positioned for those who want to be near the University of West Florida (UWF) and Pensacola State College, making it a convenient hub for work, study, and play. The bones of this home are solid, featuring a roof installed in 2015 and a water heater from 2020. Most notably, the septic tank and drain fields were completely replaced in 2025, providing major peace of mind for the next owner. While the HVAC is older and the original single-pane windows remain, the home is fully move-in ready, allowing you to take your time with cosmetic updates to truly make it your own. The real magic happens outside. Situated on a generous lot, there is ample room to park a boat or RV. The standout feature is the large detached workshop—formerly used as a pottery studio—which offers endless possibilities for hobbies, storage, or a creative retreat. If you’ve been searching for a place where you aren't sharing walls with neighbors and have the freedom to customize your surroundings, this is it. Come see the potential and value waiting for you in Pensacola.
