Description
***CURRENTLY UNDER CONTRACT, SELLER WILL CONSIDER BACKUP OFFERS***Rooney’s Beach House. This beach house has been entertaining families on Panama City Beach for years. The house comes in at just over 2,144 sq.ft. of living area according to the appraisal and features 3-bedrooms and 2-baths. (there is plenty of unused space that could easily become the 4th. bedroom and even a 3rd. bathroom with very little remodeling needed. This beach house overlooks the sparkling white sand and the crystal clear waters of the Gulf. The living area boasts an open floor plan to take advantage of the wonderful views. The kitchen, dining area, and family room all look out over the beach view. The oversized kitchen has plenty of counter space and cabinets. A large kitchen island offers more prep and storage space. The house currently has sleeping arrangements for 8 and as indicated in the remarks earlier there is plenty of room to put in an additional bedroom or bunkroom.
A new roof and air conditioner in the past year should give you years of worry free living. There is a large covered deck area as well as a large open deck area, all looking out over the World’s Most Beautiful Beaches. There is covered parking in both the garage and carport as well as extra parking in the driveway. Both the garage and carport are large enough to hold a golf cart. A workshop and storage area are also in the garage. Location, location, location. You are in walking distance to St. Andrews State Park as well as most of the area’s marinas with their fishing, diving, and sightseeing fleets. The world famous Schooners Beach Restaurant is just a couple hundred yards away. Whether you are buying for investment or for family use our area has lots to offer our residents and visitors. Imagine sitting on your back deck sipping a cool beverage, watching the kids building a sandcastle and watching those magical sunsets. Life is good.
