Welcome to a truly nature-inspired retreat, custom built in 1992 by its original builder-owner and thoughtfully designed to live in harmony with its surroundings. Sustainability and peace of mind are key features of this home, with paid-off solar panels (2019) averaging under $100/month in electric costs, a natural gas system, and a 2024 Generac generator. Natural gas also powers the cooktop, fireplace, water heater, and BBQ hookup. Major updates include a 2015 roof and gas water heater, plus HVAC systems (Main and Split Systems) replaced in 2019. Tucked just outside the gates of Pasadena Yacht & Country Club, this home feels peacefully secluded—surrounded by mature trees, a protected nature preserve, and park views—yet remains remarkably walkable to Gulfport Beach, Beach Blvd, the waterfront recreation center, and multiple nearby parks. With 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and an oversized 2-car garage with EV charger hookup, the home balances beauty and practicality. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, custom blinds, and refined finishes create light-filled, inviting spaces. The chef’s kitchen features plantation shutters, striking live-edge granite countertops, a paneled refrigerator, a cozy breakfast nook, and convenient access to the indoor laundry room. Designed for those who love to feel immersed in nature, the home offers multiple elevated sitting and entertaining areas, each with its own connection to the outdoors. The primary suite is a tranquil escape with a private deck overlooking the trees, a generous walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with dual vanities, a garden tub, and a separate shower. The rear family room—fondly known as the “tree house”—features panoramic views of oaks and orchids, a natural gas fireplace, and elegant coffered ceilings, making it a favorite spot to relax or gather. Outdoor living shines with three elevated decks, including a grilling balcony off the kitchen and a spacious deck off the family room—perfect for entertaining, birdwatching, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the preserve. The fully finished lower level adds an additional 1,669 sq ft of flexible living space, ideal for a home office, gym, media room, or creative studio, complete with the third full bath and ample storage. ~ Walkable. Private. Nature-immersed. ~ This is a rare opportunity to enjoy the feeling of being tucked away in the trees while staying effortlessly connected to everything Gulfport has to offer.
