16 San Carlos Ave Beautifully updated and lovingly maintained, this beautiful family residence in the heart of Gulf Breeze proper is beckoning you home. Set back from the street on a large lot, this home begins with the home’s white brick exterior contrasting beautifully with green grass and the mature trees that surround the property. Step in the front door to an airy sitting room that transitions seamlessly into the updated kitchen. Stainless appliances, a gas range and a four-seat island all combine to create a unity of form and function, inviting friends and family to stay close. Off the kitchen, the dining area is awash in natural light from french doors to the backyard. This intimate space is the perfect gathering place for family and friends alike. A half bath is close by. Beyond the dining area, the family living room, anchored by a fireplace, will become your favorite place to curl up on the couch with a book or movie. Don’t miss door to a cozy little screened porch–a shady refuge to listen to the breeze in the palms. Hardwood floors continue through the two spacious bedrooms and one smaller bedroom–perfect for a study, office or yoga room. The two largest bedrooms function like a double master, with plenty of closet space, both serviced by a stunning, updated bathroom. The furthest bedroom at the end of the hall opens directly to the pool deck via French doors. Stepping out to the backyard, you are transported instantly to a private oasis. The deck surrounding the pool is ideal for summertime entertaining, while the pool itself is the antidote to summer heat for the whole family. Beyond the pool, a storage shed offers plenty of storage, and a side yard offers more space for kids and pets to stay active. This home is within easy walking or biking distances to blue-ribbon schools, parks and churches. Gulf Breeze remains the most desirable community in which to raise a family, and this home is your perfect entry point into one of the area’s most beautiful small towns.
