Tucked along a quiet street just a short walk to two public beach accesses, this custom-built beach home offers a rare combination of privacy, quality, and coastal convenience on 30A. A standout feature is the detached garage with a carriage house completed in 2022, providing a fully independent living space with its own kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and living area, ideal for guests, rental income, or extended stays. With no HOA and no rental restrictions, the property offers exceptional flexibility as a primary residence, second home, or income-producing investment. Just off the Gulf, the setting is peaceful, with the sound of waves rolling in nearby. From the moment you arrive, mature landscaping, an expansive driveway, and a welcoming front porch create an immediate sense of ease. Inside, the main level is designed for the way people actually live, with an open living and dining area that feels connected without sacrificing comfort. The kitchen stands out with exotic-grade granite, custom wood cabinetry, a gas cooktop, and a level of finish that clearly sets it apart from typical builder-grade homes. The primary suite is located on the first floor for everyday convenience and privacy, while upstairs, two spacious bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. At the top, a third-floor tower offers a rare flex space complete with custom cabinetry, sink, and refrigeration, making it ideal for a home office, gym, or private retreat. Built with long-term durability in mind, the home features hard-scraped Brazilian walnut flooring, Icynene insulation, two water heaters, a washer and gas dryer, and a fully electric system. Every detail reflects a true custom build with no shortcuts. What sets this home apart is how it feels to live here. It's quiet, solid, and thoughtfully designed, a place where the layout flows naturally, daily life feels easy, and time seems to slow down. The West End of 30A is where people come to slow down and stay awhile. Local favorites, and a mix of boutiques, cafés, and art galleries create a laid-back atmosphere that feels worlds away from the crowds, yet everything you want is right here. Just minutes from Grayton Beach State Park and Point Washington State Forest, the area invites you outside, whether it's a morning paddle, a beach day, or an afternoon on the trails. This is the kind of place that feels like an escape at first, and before you know it, it feels like home. Contact us for more information or a private tour.

Wake up to canal views and cast off from your own backyard. Tucked into one of Point Washington's most beloved neighborhoods, 578 W Point Washington Road delivers the waterfront lifestyle 30A buyers dream about - private dock with boat lift (power and water already run to the lift), established seawall, and a waterfront fire pit made for sunset gatherings. Built in 2019 with 3,118 heated square feet of coastal-durable Hardie board construction and crowned with a premium standing seam metal roof, this two-story, 6-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence combines everyday durability with the warmth of a true gathering home. The main house offers 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, while a detached carriage house adds a private 1-bed, 1-bath retreat - ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or income potential. Inside, an open-concept floor plan flows effortlessly from room to room. The kitchen is anchored by a 36" Thor gas range and finished with semi-custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and a seamless layout built for entertaining. A tankless gas water heater and full suite of gas appliances deliver everyday efficiency, while a gas fireplace and high-end light fixtures add quiet luxury throughout. LVP flooring runs through the main living areas; secondary bedrooms are carpeted for comfort. The first-floor primary suite features a walk-in closet with custom shelving and a spacious bath finished with quartzite countertops, and a generously sized bonus/flex room on the main level works beautifully as a home office, playroom, media space, or additional sleeping quarters. Upstairs, three bedrooms offer comfortable separation for family and guests - one with a private en-suite bath, and two more sharing a full hall bath. Thoughtful details - marble-topped powder bath, a brick-paver mudroom with built-in cubbies, gas lanterns on the front porch, and expanded eave storage in multiple bedrooms - set this home apart. Outside, enjoy a covered porte-cochère plus garage, covered back porch, outdoor shower, and a refreshed front exterior. Exceptional storage, premium construction, and unbeatable canal access make this a rare find in Point Washington. Launch the boat, light the fire pit, and settle in. This one lives the way the coast was meant to.

Situated just three blocks from the sand, 40 Louva Lane occupies a rare 0.50-acre parcel just above Gulf Place, making dining, shopping, and beach access within easy walking distance. This lot size is incredibly hard to find in this corridor, particularly with no HOA and no restrictions. The home sits toward the back of the site, giving a feeling of privacy and seclusion. A long brick paver driveway leads to the courtyard entry and offers ample parking. In total, the home offers 2,703 square feet, four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, multiple porches, a resort-style pool, a 3.5-car garage, and a carport. The fully landscaped front and back yards, including podocarpus, jasmine vines, palms, palmettos, and lots of sod, create a true oasis. Gas lanterns line the garage and the front and rear porches have wood-paneled ceilings. The exterior was converted from stucco to Hardie Board and brick during the 2019-2020 renovation, a full-scale remodel that touched virtually every surface, system, and finish inside and outside the home. Inside, a welcoming foyer connects the living, dining, kitchen, and bar areas designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The bar is equipped with an ice maker, wine fridge, and glass-paneled cabinets. The kitchen features a gas range. All appliances, cabinetry, countertops, and backsplash were replaced in the renovation. A wood-burning fireplace with a custom pecky cypress mantel anchors the living room, and shiplap accents throughout the home reinforce the coastal character. The primary suite is on the main level and features an ensuite bath and dual closets. The half bath and laundry are also on the first floor, creating a true single-story living experience, leaving the upstairs as a guest space. Upstairs, the second living room and game area serve as another large gathering space, with access to a balcony overlooking the front yard. The sleeping quarters are smartly arranged: two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while a third bedroom and bunkroom share a hall bath. Mechanically, the home was rebuilt from the inside out. Spray foam insulation was installed throughout the walls and attic; all windows and doors were replaced; the majority of the sheetrock was replaced; and all flooring, lighting, and plumbing fixtures were replaced. The backyard delivers on every level. Enclosed by a six-foot concrete privacy fence, the outdoor living space centers on a pool with a sun shelf, splash pad, integrated hot tub with spillover, and a built-in basketball hoop, all surrounded by white natural stone pavers and palms. The rear screened porch was expanded to double its original size during the renovation and features motorized screens that open the porch to the yard and pool. Lastly, the three-and-a-half car garage is deep enough for your Suburban and offers all the additional storage you could imagine. Fully furnished and genuinely turnkey, 40 Louva Lane is the rare property that delivers the quintessential beach home you've been looking for. 2000 Year Built is based on Walton County PA Effective Year Built
