Stunning panoramic bay views from this jewel box custom home on St. George Island. This 2BR/2BA home looks out over protected state-owned land, so your view stays wide open - sunsets included - and access to the bay or beach is an easy stroll from your front door. Inside and out, there are many updates fit for modern living. Hardwood oak floors run throughout, and the layout is simple, bright, and easy to maintain whether you're here full time or using it as a second home. Both bedrooms offer privacy with loads of natural light, while the top-floor primary suite opens to its own deck - ideal for enjoying bay breezes with your morning coffee or winding down at the end of the day. Substantial updates have been recently completed: Hardie siding, impact-rated doors and windows, HVAC, hot water heater, gutters, new bathrooms, kitchen appliances and fresh paint inside and out. Two new rear decks - one on the main level and one off the primary suite - expand your outdoor living space without the upkeep, adding meaningful value and peace of mind. The property includes the adjacent lot, bringing the total to approximately .66 acres. The fenced yard with dual gates allows for easy drive-through access, with plenty of room for boat parking, gear storage, or future plans to build a neighboring house and create a family compound. Native landscaping and citrus trees keep maintenance low while attracting local wildlife - eagles, osprey, owls, peregrine falcons, red shouldered hawks, egrets, herons are regular visitors. Additional features include a ground-level storage room, outdoor shower, and outdoor shed. Having had only 2 owners and never used as a rental, this home has been carefully maintained as a full-time residence, however rentals are allowed. Being just 2.5 blocks to the Gulf beach and five blocks to favorite island restaurants and shops, this is an immaculate, updated coastal property with room to grow and views that will make you never want to leave!
