Beautiful Brick Pool Home in the Heart of Gulf Breeze Proper. This impressive two story French Colonial home on well over half of an acre combines a natural private setting with modern comfort in one of Gulf Breeze Proper's most sought-after neighborhoods. Beautifully remodeled and upgraded in the past two years, the residence showcases a custom-designed kitchen featuring Taj Mahal Quartzite countertops, a gorgeous island and a picturesque bay window overlooking an expansive nature preserve. Enjoy the best of both worlds. A peaceful, private backyard with a peekaboo view of Pensacola Bay on a quiet cul-de-sac. The backyard features an expansive deck that overlooks a large pool. This gorgeous property also borders a waterfront preserve with beach access, while being just a short walk to shops, restaurants, ice cream shops and top rated Gulf Breeze Schools (elementary, middle and high). Inside, a spacious living room with beautiful wood flooring centers around a stately wood-burning fireplace, complimented by a bright formal dining room, custom designed master suite with large luxury ensuite, and an upstairs tailor made laundry room for convenience. Experience indoor-outdoor living with a full-length New Orleans inspired balcony that spans the entire upper floor, accessible from each bedroom. Enjoy the sunroom year-round-cozy in the winter and cool in the summer-with that feels like a sophisticated treehouse. This home offers a rare amenity in Florida, a finished walk out basement! The versatile downstairs offers endless possibilities. Easily adaptable as additional bedrooms, an in-law suite, game room, study, or flex space. With the neighboring lot also on the market, you can combine both properties to create a truly magnificent family estate. If you are searching for a beautiful updated family home offering privacy, city convenience, and placement in one of Floridas top school districts, this is the one. Welcome home!
