Create sun drenched memories and entertain many sandy feet in this seaside cottage sited on a lushly landscaped 150 ft deep lot with sparkling pool and located in the sweet spot of Atlantic Beach...2 short blocks to the beach access, a walk to the buzzy ''corner'', one block from sweet Atlantic Beach Elementary School, and most especially on 'Fabulous 5th St', arguably the coolest, friendliest street in AB! Catch the first break at sunrise, enjoy a dip in the pool after a breezy beach day, play a little bocce on the lawn, dine al fresco on the back porch...vacation all year long in this cheerful jewel box! The casual vibe of this immaculately maintained 4bd home is defined by a wide open living, dining and kitchen area which flows out to the Southern-style porch and picturesque pool setting which is framed by tropical, mature foliage, creating the ultimate private retreat. Lovely wood floors, ship lap accents, plantation shutters ***CLICK 'MORE' TO READ ON*** plantation shutters on all windows and a cozy gas fireplace compliment the 1st floor common space. Four sun-washed bedrooms, two of which offer access to the huge balcony which spans the width of the home, are located on the second floor. Live and love an idyllic beach lifestyle in one of the East Coast's most treasured beach communities!
'Fabulous 5th' deserves a special shout out...this is truly a cool culture within the coolest of barefoot beach cultures!
