A screened saltwater pool, 2021 metal roof, and whole-home Generac generator set this 4-bedroom, 2-bath brick ranch apart in Fort Walton Beach's Chateauguay neighborhood. Sitting on a quarter-acre lot with a 2022 privacy fence and no HOA, the home pairs major updates with an open, renovated interior. The split floor plan places the primary suite and its walk-in closet away from the three additional bedrooms. Two separate living spaces give everyone room to spread out: an 18x12 living room at the double-door entry and an 18x14 family room with a painted-brick fireplace and built-in shelving. The kitchen features quartz countertops, a center island with gas range and vent hood, a breakfast bar, stainless appliances, and two-tone cabinetry. French doors in the dining area open directly to the pool, and a tile-floored sunroom offers flexible space for a home office, gym, or hobby room. Recessed lighting, tile and vinyl plank flooring, fresh paint, and a gas tankless water heater round out the interior. Outside, the screened pool and fenced yard create a private setting for swimming and entertaining. A powered workshop, sprinkler system, and attached two-car garage with extra driveway parking add everyday practicality. Located about 2.5 miles from Santa Rosa Mall, 4 miles from downtown Fort Walton Beach, and 5.5 miles from the beaches of Okaloosa Island, with Hurlburt Field and the Eglin AFB West Gate roughly 6 and 7 miles away. Additional features include a pool house, outdoor shower, screened porch, and a spacious 12x20 powered workshop offering endless possibilities for hobbies, projects, or additional storage. Peace of mind comes with numerous major system improvements, including a 2019 gas HVAC system with new ductwork, updated wiring, double-pane windows, a gas tankless water heater, and an irrigation system supplied by a lawn pump. A two-car garage and additional driveway parking for up to five vehicles provide exceptional convenience. Ideally located just minutes from Eglin Air Force Base, Hurlburt Field, the beautiful beaches of Okaloosa Island, shopping, dining, and entertainment, this home offers easy access to everything the Emerald Coast has to offer. VA, FHA, and conventional financing are welcome. Don't miss your opportunity to own this exceptional Fort Walton Beach property with so many valuable upgrades already in place.
