Overview

Set directly on the sugar white sands of the Emerald Coast, this exceptional Gulf front residence offers a rare blend of refined coastal living and proven investment performance. Spanning three levels, each with expansive south facing decks suspended above the dunes, the home captures uninterrupted panoramic views of the emerald waters from sunrise to sunset. Thoughtfully reimagined from the studs out, the property reflects a clean, sophisticated design with a new roof and professionally curated interiors. Paved parking for four vehicles ensures effortless arrival, while direct beach access invites a seamless connection to the shoreline. The first level is designed for both comfort and flexibility, featuring two Gulf front bedrooms with immediate access to the lower deck and private beach path. A dedicated media lounge with wet bar and refrigerator creates an ideal retreat for guests and extended stays. On the second level, a wall of glass frames sweeping 180 degree Gulf views, filling the main living space with natural light. The open concept design flows effortlessly from the spacious living area to a defined dining space and into a chef’s kitchen appointed with stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and granite surfaces that extend into an inviting breakfast bar. Three sets of French doors open to a generous balcony, offering a front row setting for coastal breezes and evening sunsets. A fully equipped home theater enhances the experience for both relaxation and entertainment. The third level serves as a private sanctuary, anchored by a Gulf front primary suite designed for quiet retreat. The spa inspired ensuite features dual vanities, a walk in shower, and a freestanding soaking tub. Two additional guest bedrooms, including a thoughtfully designed bunk room, complete the level. Beyond its design and setting, the home presents a compelling investment opportunity. With no HOA and a strong rental history, the property generated $181,000 in revenue in 2025, with $143,000 already secured for 2026 and projections approaching $235,000 annually. Its five bedroom configuration and beachfront positioning continue to support consistent demand and income potential. Ideally located near premier shopping, dining, golf, and entertainment, including proximity to Silver Sands Premium Outlets, this is a rare opportunity to own a Gulf front property that balances lifestyle, design, and performance with ease.
