Perfectly positioned between Hurlburt Field and Eglin AFB in the heart of the Fort Walton Beach/Mary Esther area, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath brick home offers a rare blend of privacy, character, and outdoor living. The home's offset design gives it a more custom feel that stands apart from today's cookie-cutter neighborhoods. Step outside and this home truly changes pace. Spanning nearly the entire backside of the home, the expansive screened porch and custom cedar decking create multiple outdoor living spaces designed for relaxing and entertaining. Enjoy several seating areas, ceiling fans, built-in bench seating, shade coverage, backyard garden views, and a fire pit tucked into the center of it all. Raised garden beds, low-maintenance fruits and vegetables, and the peaceful wooded backdrop make the backyard feel private and natural. Situated on a corner lot with no rear neighbors and no neighboring home to the south, the property backs to a peaceful wooded setting with a gently flowing creek behind the home. Inside, you'll find dark wood flooring, a sunken living room with a fireplace and custom butcher block mantle, French doors off both the living room and primary suite, and a layout full of warmth and character. The garage includes a custom workbench and utility sink for added functionality and storage. No HOA. New roof prior to closing with an accepted offer.
