With 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and two primary suites (one on the main level, one upstairs), plus nearly 3,000 square feet of living space, the layout offers flexibility for multi-generational living, guests, or a second-home retreat. Multiple porches and decks extend the living space outdoors, framing nonstop views of Eastern Lake from nearly every angle. Whether as a primary residence, second home, or investment, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own an irreplaceable setting: private lake frontage, dock access, walk-to-beach convenience, and room to expand -- all in one of 30A's most sought-after communities. It includes CONCRETE FOUNDATION PIERS to allow water to flow freely under the house
