Welcome to this beautifully updated ranch-style home in one of Fort Walton Beach's most sought-after areas! Located in a sidewalk-lined community with a neighborhood park, pickleball courts, and tennis courts all within walking distance, this home offers both convenience and lifestyle. You're also walking distance to Kenwood Elementary school and just 15 minutes to the beach on Okaloosa Island, 10 minutes to Eglin Air Force base, less than 20 minutes to Hurlburt Field, and 10 minutes to the Destin-Fort Walton Beach airport! This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home also features a versatile flex room, ideal for a home office, playroom, or additional living space. Inside, you'll find two separate living areas, offering plenty of room to relax or entertain, along with a formal dining room perfect for hosting gatherings.

Just off the kitchen, the flex room/den with a wood-burning fireplace opens through French doors to a spacious 16x17 screened-in patio - an ideal spot to enjoy Florida evenings year round. Major systems have been well maintained, including a 2012 metal roof, 2012 water heater, and a brand-new HVAC system installed in 2024; and have peace of mind with a termite bond for preventative protection. Enjoy other notable features like updated windows, a fully fenced in backyard, sprinkler system, gutters, crown molding, recessed lighting, and new luxury vinyl plank flooring.
