Completely renovated inside and out, this modern beach house in the St. George Plantation pairs clean lines with fabulous views of the Gulf. Every detail has been refreshed, including all new appliances and all new furniture, so you can skip the projects and head straight for the sand. With 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, there's plenty of room for family and friends to spread out and settle in. A striking clear elevator carries you between floors while showing off the views along the way. Two levels of porches give you exquisite views of the Gulf and so much space to enjoy them, whether you're sipping coffee at sunrise or gathering for dinner as the sun goes down. The pool and hot tub sit on the beach side of the home, making it a wonderful place to entertain and relax steps from the water. Anglers will love being just a short stroll from the Bob Sikes Cut, known for its great fishing. Grab your rod, walk down the beach, and cast a line without ever needing the car. This turnkey home would be perfect as a primary residence, a second home, or a vacation rental. The home has only been on the rental market since May, and about half of the stays during that time were non-paying friends and family. As a result, gross rental income to date is approximately $36,000 and doesn't reflect the property's full rental potential. Schedule your private showing today.
