Andy and Christina Meinen

Wonder vacation retreat in WaterSound, Florida.

This home was just reduced $75,000. The vacation home is located on the main boardwalk to the beach, has Gulf views and has never been lived in.

This lovely home is for sale in WaterSound’s most sought after area: Dune Ridge. This home is on the corner of Coopersmith and S. Watchtower. A stand-alone garage with rustic barn doors sits at the edge of the lot and is connected to the main house by a covered walkway. There is an private outdoor shower to rinse off the salt water and white sand from the beach before entering this magnificent vacation home.

As you enter the back door, there is a guest bedroom to the left with a full bathroom and spacious closet. The guest room has access to the carport and a small porch through its own private doorway. Another half bathroom is right off the hallway from the back door and next to a small nook that could be used for a little office. The front door fronts Coopersmith and the entryway opens up to the second floor and has space and shelving for treasured photos and keepsakes.

A well-appointed kitchen with modern appliances and finishes occupies the first floor as well. The living and dining area are all open to the kitchen, which is ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. Off the living room and dining area, there is a screened porch with two ceiling fans. The porch has access to the WaterSound beach walkway. Another porch off the kitchen is perfect for a grill and lounging in the sun, plus there is an outdoor closet for all your beach equipment.

The second floor has three bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The master bedroom has access to a balcony overlooking Coopersmith Lane and the walkway running toward the beach to the south. An adjacent guest bedroom also has access to the balcony as well. The third guest room is at the top of the stairway and has a full bathroom and a small sitting room and two closets. As you continue up the stairs to the third floor you come to a loft that runs the length of the house and is anchored by a large round window at the end of the room that looks to the east over Coopersmith Lane.

The loft would be great for extra sleeping space and an area for kids to play. A wet bar and two ample closets and a full bathroom complete the third floor. The loft opens to the crow’s nest, which is up several steps. The crow’s nest has a reclaimed tin roof and access to a balcony that has Gulf views and is great for watching sunsets. All room dimensions and square footage are approximate and should be verified by the buyer.
