Backing to state forest and nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after gated community of Windsor Estates, this all-brick, single-story home blends timeless charm with modern comfort. Just 1 minute north of Highway 98 and close to the white-sand beaches of South Walton, it offers a private retreat with convenience at your doorstep. The professionally landscaped backyard borders the peaceful state forest - providing both privacy and a scenic backdrop - and is spacious enough to accommodate a future pool. Enjoy quiet mornings with coffee or lively evenings with friends on the screened-in porch, complete with a cozy fire pit for s'mores and stargazing. Inside, an open and flowing split floor plan is perfect for everyday living and effortless entertaining. The living room features a welcoming wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm beach-farmhouse vibe. A formal dining room and dedicated office offer flexibility for both hosting and working from home. The upgraded kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and ample cabinetry, ideal for any home chef. The generously sized primary suite includes a sitting area (which could serve as a second office or reading nook), a large walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with a soaking tub and separate shower. With its thoughtful layout, abundant natural light, and serene setting, this home offers a rare combination of warmth, style, and functionality - all within minutes of shopping, dining, and the Emerald Coast's finest beaches.
