5609 Ponte Verde Rd Bjuilt to a higher standard! Constructed in 2008 on engineered concrete pilings, this elevated residence gives you strength, durability, and peace of mind that most nearby homes simply can't match. It also has a metal roof, and the solar panel system will be paid off at closing, so it comes with the home at no additional cost. The main living level sits up high, and its tall ceilings make the open floor plan feel bright and spacious. The split floor plan puts the primary suite on its own side of the home for extra privacy. In all, there are 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, with no carpet anywhere. Step out onto the large screened porch overlooking the natural beauty of Big Lagoon State Park, or relax on the front balcony. The ground level is 1, 326 sq ft that runs under the entire home. It has two separate garages, each with its own door, one on either side of the staircase. Between them is a center area the size of a third garage, which gives you huge storage space for toys, kayaks, beach gear, or tools. There are outlets throughout, so it also makes a great workshop. Out back, a large covered patio runs the full length of the home and is perfect for entertaining, projects, or enjoying the coastal breeze. Grande Lagoon residents pay HOA dues of just $200 per year and enjoy a private beach, a fishing pier on the Intracoastal Waterway, two tennis courts, a scenic 9-acre lake, and a playground. You're minutes from the back gate of NAS Pensacola and a short drive to the sugar-white sand and emerald water of Perdido Key. It works as a full-time residence, a seasonal getaway, or a second home. Homes built this well don't come along often.
