    What's special

    Fully fenced yardElectric fireplaceSaltwater poolFully remodeled kitchenLarge shop with aduNew roofBeautifully updated bathrooms
    Rare opportunity to own a nearly one-acre fully renovated property with a saltwater pool, large shop with ADU, boat access, and wooded privacy in Fort Walton Beach. This exceptional property backs up to peaceful wooded surroundings and offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and extensive modern upgrades. The home has been extensively renovated from top to bottom and features a fully remodeled kitchen with new cabinetry, granite countertops, and new appliances, beautifully updated bathrooms, and all new windows and exterior doors. The inviting living area is highlighted by an electric fireplace, creating a warm focal point for the home. All bedrooms are generously oversized, and the primary suite has been expanded to include a massive custom walk-in closet created from a converted bedroom, offering exceptional dressing and storage space rarely found in homes of this size. Major system upgrades include a new roof and A/C replaced in 2024, providing peace of mind for years to come. Step outside to enjoy the saltwater pool installed in 2024, complemented by new irrigation and landscape lighting throughout the property. The fully fenced yard includes a 20-foot access gate, allowing easy entry for boats, RVs, trailers, or additional vehicles to the rear of the property. A standout feature is the 30x40 shop built last year, which is spray-foam insulated for superior energy efficiency and includes a 750 sq ft ADU with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. This flexible space is ideal for guest quarters, rental income potential, multi-generational living, or a private office or studio. Additional highlights include an oversized temperature-controlled garage and a chicken coop built last spring, adding charm and functionality. With nearly an acre of land, wooded privacy, extensive renovations, boat and RV access, and a versatile shop with ADU, this property offers a unique opportunity just minutes from the beaches, shopping, dining, and military bases in Fort Walton Beach.
