31 Beachcomber Ln, Inlet Beach, FL 32461

Property Description

Walk out of the screened porch and straight onto Seacrest Beach's new brick promenade, a landscaped walkway now under construction that leads to the soon-to-be-completed Town Hall, the event green and the famous lagoon pool, without crossing a single street. Welcome to 31 Beachcomber Lane, a classic three-story beach house on a quiet side street on the popular East End of 30A in Inlet Beach, Florida, sold fully furnished with a few exclusions. Loved by the same family for more than 20 years and never rented, it comes with eight bikes, beach chairs, beach toys and an overflow refrigerator, all waiting in the golf cart garage. Built in 2004 with a metal roof, the home offers 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 2,578 square feet, and sleeps 20. Both HVAC systems were replaced in 2019 and the water heater in 2020. Inside, gorgeous Australian cypress floors glow throughout the main living areas, with beadboard wainscoting, built-in shelves and walls of windows that fill the house with light. The kitchen is made for a crowd, with abundant warm wood cabinetry, glass-front uppers, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, stainless appliances including a side-by-side refrigerator, two ovens and a built-in microwave, and a long granite breakfast bar. It opens to the dining area, where an antique farmhouse table seats eight, and to the living room, with French doors out to the screened porch. Just off the entry, a few steps lead down to a king bedroom with a beadboard ceiling and a ladder up to a sleeping loft with two mattresses for extra sleeping, next to a full bath and a laundry room with a front-loading washer and dryer and its own outside door. Upstairs, the primary suite has two double closets and an en suite bath with a garden tub, double vanity and separate shower. A second king bedroom opens onto the long covered porch, and a bunk room with two built-in triple bunks shares a bath with a double vanity and walk-in shower. The third floor is a getaway of its own: a sitting room with cypress floors, a built-in double bunk bed and French doors to a covered balcony with rooftop views, a full bath, and a sunny king bedroom wrapped in windows. Outdoor living is everywhere: a welcoming front porch, the screened back porch with an oversized hanging daybed swing, a second-floor porch with a porch swing tucked into the treetops, and the top-floor balcony. Out front, the parking pad holds four cars, and across the street a palm-filled island circle offers extra parking, a tram stop and a safe place to watch the kids ride bikes. The sellers also had full architectural drawings done to expand the second floor, and those plans convey with the home. Best of all is the location: Seacrest Beach sits right between Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach, two of 30A's most celebrated towns. No need to drive and no need to cook: everything is an easy walk or bike ride away. Peddlers Pavilion, at the front of the neighborhood in the Village of South Walton, is the heart of the action, with bike rentals, restaurants, shops, live music, fire pits, and the candy and donuts kids love. Seacrest owners enjoy the famous 12,000-square-foot lagoon pool with its green space and grassy amphitheater for concerts and movies, the soon-to-open Town Hall event space, and private deeded beach access, with complimentary trams running throughout the day in season to carry you to the beach and pool. There are also pocket parks and walking and biking paths, including a nature trail and the paved Timpoochee Trail along 30A. Call today to schedule your private showing!
