Set on a large corner lot in the gated Cypress Breeze community, this three-story Florida cottage is less than one mile from the Gulf of America. Its white exterior, metal roof, broad porches and tropical landscaping feel at home in Santa Rosa Beach, while the detached two-car garage and brick paved driveway create space that is increasingly difficult to find this close to the water. Inside, the four-bedroom, four-bath home is comfortable and full of personality. The kitchen opens naturally to the main living area, making it easy for everyone to gather after a day at the beach. Multiple doors connect the interior to the porches, and the upper level adds a relaxed bunk-and-lounge area where children and guests can have a space of their own. Above the garage is unfinished space designed for a one-bedroom, one-bath apartment. Once completed, it could become private guest quarters, an owner's retreat, a home office or additional rental accommodations--adding another layer of flexibility and income potential to the property. Whether used as a full-time home, a second home near the Gulf or a vacation rental, 262 Plantation Circle offers the kind of coastal lifestyle guests return for: room to gather, private spaces to retreat, a resort pool nearby and the beach, dining and everything Santa Rosa Beach has to offer just minutes away.
