Florida Cottage

Set along the Watersound Origins Golf Course on a quiet cul-de-sac, this 2023 build delivers what new construction at this price point can't: a fully built-out home with finishes, systems, and outdoor living already in place - and a buyer who can move in this season instead of waiting two years to break ground. Inside, the home was designed around how people actually live. The kitchen anchors the main living area with a large marble island wrapped in white oak, Sub-Zero refrigeration, a dual Wolf range with both gas and electric cooking, and a built-in 30-inch Wolf coffee station. Just off the kitchen, a white oak wine bar adds a wine cooler, nugget ice maker, and unlacquered brass fixtures with real character. Throughout the home, finishes were chosen with consistency and durability in mind - Carrara marble bathrooms with custom tile, true masonry fireplaces (including a custom stone fireplace centering the main living room), wide-plank wood floors, a sliding glass wall opening to the lanai, custom stair runner, and California Closets in key bedrooms. The outdoor living area was built to function as a true extension of the interior and to be used year-round. A private pool with raised hot tub sits off a covered lanai outfitted with automated screens, Cumaru hardwood decking, built-in electric heaters, integrated speakers, an outdoor kitchen with Artisan grill and refrigeration, and a second masonry fireplace. A detached carriage house above the garage adds a fifth bedroom with its own full bath - ideal for guests, in-laws, or a long-stay home office, and the kind of layout flexibility most floor plans in this price band don't offer. Behind the scenes, the home is set up to run cleanly. A 26-kilowatt Generac generator services the entire residence and carriage house. Sonos audio is wired throughout and controlled via dedicated iPads, Samsung Frame televisions are installed across multiple rooms, a full security system with day-night cameras is in place, and Wi-Fi-enabled garage doors include a dedicated golf cart bay. Outside, extensive landscaping, low-voltage lighting, and a Wi-Fi irrigation system frame the home and golf course setting. Watersound Origins remains the most practical community on this side of 30A for full-time residents - close to the Origins Club, walking trails, the Watersound Town Center, Publix, and zoned to South Walton schools. Most homes in Origins have one or two standout features. This one combines several: real golf course frontage, a fully built-out outdoor living space, a detached carriage house, and a depth of systems already paid for and installed. For a buyer weighing this against starting fresh, the math and the timeline both favor the home that's already done.
