Just Sold | 387 Gulfview Circle | 30A, FL

4 Bed  |  3.5 Bath  |  2,162 Square Feet  |  Selling Price: $1,500,000

We assisted our sellers in purchasing this beautiful beach home back in September with their plan to flip it in a couple of years. With the market currently being a great time to sell, they said if we could get them at least $1.5M, they would sell it so they could purchase a lot and build something in the Blue Mountain Beach area. We got to work and the property was listed for only three days before going under contract for their desired price. This was a great investment in paradise as it increased in value by $500K in less than a year and was the second-highest priced home sold in Highland Parks in the last year! We love our savvy clients and can’t wait to help them find the perfect property to build their dream home in Blue Mountain Beach!

This beach house at Highland Parks on 30A is stunning! Located on the corner and with plentiful windows, the home gets washed in sunlight all day making it feel light and airy. The first floor features open main living areas, a gorgeous kitchen, as well as a spacious master suite. Upstairs you'll find a guest suite, two additional bedrooms, and a large hall bath. The stylish décor, furniture, shiplap walls, and wood floors give this home a chic coastal feel. Entertain your guests out on the screened patio or soak in the sea breeze on the large front porch. A beautiful paradise!

Highland Parks is a fabulous neighborhood located along popular 30A. Owners and guest enjoy fantastic amenities including trails, an expansive resort-style pool area that features beautiful stone accents, fountains, a fire pit, outdoor kitchen, and tower where that overlooks the neighborhood and glimpses of the Gulf in the distance. Beach days are easy since you're about a mile from the Blue Mountain Beach Access. Take your bike, golf cart, or quick drive to popular hotspots along 30A including Seaside, Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, and more!

This home was just lovely to shoot and market. Located along 30A with fantastic resort amenities, we knew this home would appeal to buyers desiring to live the coastal lifestyle or make an investment in paradise. We made the most of these aspects and featured them in our marketing plan. Along with professional photography, we produced a video tour of the unit and community highlights. We promoted this on social media and in email marketing to create an interest in the property.

   

For ease of access in learning more about the unit and community, we featured the property in our monthly newsletter to send to our database of investors and agents that link to both the property website and video tour. The property was also featured on Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com, as well as internationally renowned Remax.com.
