204 Northcliffe DrGulf Breeze, FL 32561

Sometimes it really is possible to enjoy the benefits of both seclusion and convenience in one beautiful location! Overlooking more than 100 feet of white sand beach on Pensacola Bay, and located in the heart of the Gulf Breeze proper community, this handsome waterfront home rises elegantly amid deep green stands of mature oaks, and is mere minutes away from historic downtown Pensacola, award-winning schools, and the highly-prized pleasures of Pensacola Beach. This stately showpiece features a lovely guesthouse, and is accessed via a circular drive which wraps gracefully around an attractive brick hardscape. Inside, natural light cascades through soaring windows into the foyer, which features a dramatic curved stairway with floating wood steps and custom iron work. Chisel-edged tile graces the floors of the home's lower story, while crown molding and recessed lighting throughout add an understated elegance. Sturdy columns and a glass transom provide a transition from living room to sunroom, where grand casement windows offer stunning views of mature live oaks and Pensacola Bay beyond. The well-lit, functional kitchen features a stylish center island, sleek granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry. The expansive downstairs master suite features views of Pensacola Bay by day, and the nightlights of Pensacola after dusk. Two spacious bedrooms may be found upstairs. Outside, a tastefully appointed guest house features its own kitchen, wood tile floors, crown molding, marble countertops, a cedar closet, a double vanity, and a custom tile shower. A scenic dining area with compelling vistas of Pensacola Bay and the Pensacola Bay bridge are perfect for outdoor entertaining, while just beyond, steps lead down to a private dock with covered boat lift. Breathtaking views of the bay can be had from nearly anywhere on the picturesque lawn. Nighttime offers bay vistas that feature the reflected nightlights of Pensacola.
