Property Description
Gulf-Front Living on Florida’s Forgotten Coast — Offered for the First Time Welcome to 12 Marlin Street, a rare opportunity to own a true Gulf-front retreat in sought-after Bald Point, where unspoiled beaches, natural beauty, and coastal serenity define everyday living. Situated on a spacious 0.33-acre beachfront lot, this home offers direct access to the sand and sweeping panoramic views of the Gulf. Designed to embrace its waterfront setting, the home features an open living and dining area oriented toward the water, high ceilings that enhance natural light, and three comfortable bedrooms ideal for family, guests, or vacation rental flexibility. Step outside onto the newly built Polywood sundeck with stainless cable railing, perfectly positioned for sunrise coffee, sunset gatherings, and the constant sound of the surf. Recent exterior improvements include durable Hardie board siding, blending coastal charm with low-maintenance durability. The property’s generous lot size provides privacy rarely found along the coastline while offering space to further personalize or enhance outdoor living. Located near Bald Point State Park, residents enjoy miles of secluded white-sand beaches, world-class fishing, boating, birding, and scenic biking trails.
