40 Pearl Aardon Cove, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459

This custom-built home by Tidwell Builders in the gated community of Cypress Breeze Plantation has been a primary residence, never a rental, since it was constructed in 2013. It features nearly 3000 square feet of living space, with four bedrooms, a sunny Florida room, and a bonus room over the garage that could be a fifth bedroom. The teak entrance door opens to a broad entryway and full dining room with dark, rich engineered hardwood floors. An enormous living room and kitchen space is straight ahead with trayed ceiling. There are two bedrooms to the right. One is carpeted and has a walk-in closet and a connection to a full bath with tub/shower combo. The second bedroom, with bay windows, is just to the right of the front entrance. It was most recently used as an office. Off the kitchen is a tiled Florida room that affords access to the wooden deck and fenced backyard. There is a second backyard access door off the breakfast nook. The door to the master suite is between the kitchen and Florida room. The master bathroom has a granite double vanity, an elevated bathtub and large, separate tiled shower. The walk-in closet is off the master bath. From the full laundry (washer and dryer do convey with the sale), which is between the kitchen and garage, there is a carpeted staircase that splits in two halfway up. Turning left at the split leads to the bonus room over the garage, which has recently been used as a double twin bedroom. Turning right at the split leads to a second master suite upstairs, with a large double closet and en suite bathroom. The home also includes a two-car garage with shelving and enclosed storage, an expansive side yard with kids' playground, a fenced backyard with paver patio and wooden deck, and two HVAC systems: one of the systems is a Carrier five-stage, variable speed heat pump with excellent humidity control, and is extremely quiet and energy efficient. Rounding out the environmental features are spray foam insulation in the attic, and a whole-house water filtration and UV air treatment system.
