Tucked into a quiet Fort Walton Beach neighborhood, this 1950s home has been thoughtfully renovated to blend its original coastal charm with the updates today's buyers actually want. Walk in and you'll find a stylish kitchen, new flooring, and fresh finishes throughout -- the kind of turn-key condition that lets you move in or start renting right away. Location is hard to beat: the neighborhood park with bay beach access, picnic areas, a playground, and a small boat launch is just minutes away, and you're minutes from local shops and restaurants. The Gulf Coast's famous white-sand beaches are a short drive away too. This one's especially interesting for investors. The home has a track record as a successful short-term rental to DOD contractors and traveling nurses, which means steady, year-round demand rather than just a seasonal bump. Recent upgrades make it low-maintenance from day one: HVAC (2022/2023), a new metal roof (2024), water heater (2025), plus updated flooring, paint, and finishes, along with newly added attic insulation for better year-round comfort. Whether you're looking for a primary residence with character or an income property with proven rental history, this one's worth a look. Owner is a licensed real estate agent in Tennessee. Buyer is responsible for independently verifying all data, including lot and room dimensions.
