Supplements: this home. Similar to classic beach houses that have stood along Florida's shoreline for generations, this home takes advantage of shade and Gulf breezes with deep porches and breezeways to encourage camaraderie. The house is an authentic classic, a most fitting and appropriate response for 30A's unique coastal environment and relaxed lifestyle. Simple materials and carpenter details give this house its distinctive character both inside and out. Exterior cladding is cedar with extended roof overhangs and a traditional metal roof. Familiar forms translate to a pair of deep front porches crowned with pitched gabled roofs. A playful white picket fence frames the street front, while a wooden pathway leads to the entry French doors that establish an inviting first impression. A thoughtful and efficient arrangement of interior spaces captures the best aspects of an open floor plan designed for casual beach living. The spacious living area is filled with a multitude of windows and French doors with vaulted ceilings, flooding the space with natural light. Warm pine floors and crisp white tongue and groove wood paneling instill charm and character throughout the home. The living room and master bedroom share a fireplace surrounded by marble. A custom-built curved staircase leads to a large loft providing additional sleeping space. The kitchen includes a breakfast bar that seats four comfortably along with a sitting area. A wet bar is tucked off the kitchen next to the staircase. The guest bedroom and bath are located just down the hallway. Every room of the main house opens onto a private dining courtyard. The screen porch is the perfect hideaway for a quick nap. The separate guest quarters include an efficiency kitchen with one bedroom and bath. The first level of the guest quarters houses the laundry and storage room for the main house and is easily accessible off the courtyard. If you've always wanted to own a Seaside home, this classic cottage is the perfect opportunity.
