Welcome to ‘Atlantic Gateway’, one of the most sought-after vacation homes in Garden City Beach. This oceanfront home is located on the highly desirable south end of the Garden City Beach peninsula. Meticulously maintained, this 3-story home is highly perched in an ideal spot with an inverted floorplan that provides extensive ocean, beach, and inlet/marsh views. Featuring 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, two separate living areas, and nearly 3600 heated square feet, this home is ideal for large groups to have unique spaces to suit all. Three of the five bedrooms are en-suite with private bathrooms, which include a first-floor primary suite and a third-floor primary suite. The two primary suites are oceanfront with king-size beds, walk-in closets, and large bathrooms that each feature double vanities, jetted garden tubs, and tile showers. Bedding arrangements will comfortably accommodate 14 guests. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, marble backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances. The entire second floor of the home is an open concept floor plan with ocean views from the kitchen, two dining areas, and living area that flows seamlessly to the oceanfront covered deck that surrounds a private, heated pool. The unique pool location on the second-floor deck offers a birds-eye view of the coastline where you can relax in your own private pool and take in the endless ocean and beach views, which is something that you just don’t get with ground-level oceanfront pools. Just off the oceanfront living room is a custom-built wet bar with a granite countertop, sink, a new stand-alone stainless-steel ice maker, and cabinetry with glass doors and shelving. New smart TVs are wall-mounted throughout every room of the house. You can plan on entertaining your guests like no other! This home is a vacation rental workhorse with a history of producing strong income year after year. With the rental income and top-notch condition, this property is a no-brainer for the investor looking for immediate earnings without the need of having to first address deferred maintenance and updates like most competing properties in the area; please refer to the extensive, detailed list of recent upgrades. The seller is the original owner who has taken great pride in maintaining and keeping this property updated to the highest standards. The recent upgrades not only include cosmetic enhancements, but also more costly maintenance items as well, such as a brand-new roof, exterior and interior paint, windows, HVAC, water heater, appliances, furniture, hurricane shutters, LVP flooring, Plantation Shutters throughout, and more – be sure to request the detailed list! As you see, this is a rare oceanfront property that offers ease of ownership so that the new owner can sit back and enjoy steady rental income and/or personal enjoyment without the headaches that come along with so many others. Plus, the original construction was completed with low-maintenance finishes, such as concrete fiberboard siding and Trex decking. After a day on the beach, which is just a few steps away, rinse off in the convenient enclosed hot/cold outdoor shower under the house. There is covered and driveway parking for 4-5 vehicles.
