40 Louva Lane

Description

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
