Quaintest Cottages on the Beach! These historic stone cottages built in the 1940's have been lovingly updated and remodeled. Lush tropical landscaping and a manicured yard and lawn welcome you to this fabulous beach hideaway. Situated under 800 yards from the renowned beach of Indian Rocks, enter thru a jasmine covered trellis, to your private oasis featuring a private outdoor patio to enjoy the greenery. Entering the home you will find a covered front porch seating area in the enclosed Florida room. Step further inside to find a pleasing coastal decor with engineered driftwood flooring, plantation shutters, curved arch passthroughs and a bright airy feel. The kitchen is any chef’s dream showcasing new premium appliances in 2017, quartz countertops, wood cabinetry and large farmers sink. There are two bedrooms in the main cabin, one with an attractive and innovative Murphy bed with integrated floor to ceiling shelving. The bath is updated just enough to keep the original look with all the modern touches. Enter the court yard from the kitchen to find a covered and screened lanai and two well designed storage sheds, one designated as a laundry room. A walkway leads to the back yard bounding with birds of paradise palms, a lush lawn, patio and a spa/Jacuzzi . The back cottage features an efficiency kitchen, living room, studio bedroom, bath and a fully air conditioned project/storage room that could be converted back into a bedroom if desired. The large driveway runs along the left side of the property and has ample space for multiple cars, golf carts and a full sized RV or boat. If you've been dreaming of owning a piece of paradise, don't let this one pass you by. The current owners have used this property as their primary residence and spent every attention to detail. It is, however, ideal for vacation rentals. It would be the perfect VRBO or Airbnb or residence with a mother-in law suite. Other upgrades include: front and rear sprinklers, seamless gutter system, nest cameras at front door and on patio, new washer and dryer, termite policy, and leased Culligan water system. New Plumbing from street 2017. Most appliances 2017. Front home water heater 2015. New AC rear 2019.
