The Cottages at Laguna is a chic new development of luxury residences that deliver an enviable coastal lifestyle within easy reach of entertainment and amenities. Located at the west end of Panama City Beach, this quality new build by Holland Homes has great curb appeal with a wide driveway leading to a single-car garage. A full-width balcony sits above a covered front porch, providing areas for sitting out in the evening and watching the world go by. Step through the front door and take in the spacious open-concept floorplan beneath the airy 10-foot ceiling. Wood LVP flooring flows seamlessly from the built-in hall stand in the foyer, through the sitting and dining areas, to the island and gourmet kitchen to the rear. This home features abundant windows with low sills, allowing an abundance of natural daylight to enter each designated space. The kitchen is a chef’s delight with new stainless steel Whirlpool appliances, quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, and plenty of storage in Shaker-style cabinetry. The gorgeous scallop-tile backsplash and gold fixtures display attention to detail that is the hallmark of this renowned Alabama builder. Rounding off the first floor, there’s a walk-in shelved pantry, access to the garage, and a convenient half bath tucked beneath the stairs. A foyer leads to the first-floor master suite, offering step-free living if required. It has a beautiful private bathroom with a double vanity and a tiled walk-in shower. A rear glass door leads onto a generous covered porch overlooking the private rear yard. The second floor has four further bedrooms plus a bonus room or second living space for teens to hang out and watch TV. Bedrooms two and three share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. In addition, there’s a family bathroom on the landing along with a laundry closet. The second master suite has its own spa-like ensuite bathroom along with chandelier lighting, a shiplap accent wall, and French doors opening onto a private balcony. Shady palms and green turf surround this beach house, with the rear yard backing onto mature greenery. This is the ideal choice for full-time family living or short-term rentals.
