A rare combination of privacy, charm, and future potential awaits in this beautifully furnished cottage tucked along Salt Box Lane in the coveted WaterSound Beach community. Situated on one of the largest and most private cottage lots in the neighborhood, this 2-bedroom plus loft residence offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the home as it is today while preserving intriguing possibilities for the future.

Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light create an airy, welcoming atmosphere. The open great room is anchored by a gas fireplace and flows seamlessly into the dining area and well-appointed kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The main-level primary suite offers vaulted ceilings and a private en-suite bath, while upstairs, a spacious guest suite and versatile loft provide flexible space for additional sleeping, a media room, home office, or reading retreat.

Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a welcoming front porch, screened porch, and pergola-covered patio surrounded by mature, lush landscaping. The oversized homesite provides a wonderful sense of separation and privacy that is increasingly difficult to find within WaterSound Beach.

Beyond its current appeal, the generous lot may also offer opportunities to expand or enhance the property in the future, subject to WaterSound Beach ARC approval and all applicable community and governmental requirements. For buyers who appreciate the intimacy and character of a cottage today but want the flexibility to create additional living space in the future, this added potential brings another compelling dimension to the property.
WaterSound Beach is one of 30A's most distinctive gated, Gulf-front communities, celebrated for its winding boardwalks through the dunes, resort-style pools, fitness center, parks, dog park, Puttering Park, and more than a mile of private white-sand beach.
Offered fully furnished and surrounded by natural beauty, this special Salt Box Lane cottage presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the relaxed WaterSound Beach lifestyle with privacy, flexibility, and room to envision what comes next.
