Buy Original 80's Inlet Beach Gulf-Front Cottage

Who doesn't love a classic cottage? Especially when it's on the beach! This captivating three-bedroom vacation residence at 490 W Park Place Ave in Inlet Beach exudes charm. It spans 1,728 square feet with rich golden hardwood interiors and beamed vaulted ceilings.

High soaring ceilings, walls of windows, and sliding glass doors accentuate a spacious look with an open-concept design. The home sits upon a sugary dune adorned with golden sea oats above the glowing waters of the jewel-toned gulf. This seemingly remote setting at the end of a private cul-de-sac provides panoramic south-facing views of the glistening gulf. The seascape vistas are quite stunning, especially when magnified by heavenly sunrises and sunsets. This cottage is raised on pillars with room for three vehicles underneath and expansive covered storage space. Outdoor stairs lead up to a sun deck that spans across the beachside and provides entry into the residence.

The bright, open living area is breathtaking, with a beamed cathedral ceiling crowned by a wide portal truss window, a wall of sunny glass doors, honey-toned heart pinewood walls, and a stone fireplace.

An open kitchen has vintage custom cabinetry, a hardwood entertainment bar, and brushed stainless steel appliances. Bar stool seating surrounds butcher block countertops, creating a delightful entertainment space.

Doors lead from the kitchen and great room into a bright, sunny family room. This bonus living space includes three walls of wide windows that frame the sensational sparkling scenery and a dining area that looks out upon the gulf during lovely sunset dinners.

A hallway leads from the main living area to a primary bedroom with an ensuite bath featuring a vintage spa tub and a single vanity sink. The two guest bedrooms have access to a full hall bath that also serves as a convenient powder room. All bedrooms have beamed vaulted ceilings and sunny windows, providing a well-lit, cozy, and spacious setting.

Although located in a wonderful privileged world of its own, this cottage is minutes away from everything Scenic 30A has to offer. This idyllic setting is close to great restaurants, bistros, casual bars, local grocery markets, wine outlets, and abundant shipping adventures. 30 Avenue is minutes away, with lush tropical grounds, outdoor art shows, spirit festivals, great restaurants, lively bars, fashion boutiques, fine clothiers, beauty salons, and specialty shops. The enchanting Village of Rosemary Beach is also very nearby, which was created to resemble a charming Dutch Colonial West Indies-inspired world. This superb coastal village also features magical lawn festivals with family amusements, excellent restaurants, friendly bars, galleries, boutiques, and specialty shops.

This classic vintage beachfront cottage is offered at $5,998,000, which comes in at $3,471.06 per square foot.
