Florida

Some homes have an address. Others have a nickname. Welcome to ''The Whoop-De-Do,'' a cottage that earned its name the honest way, by making every day feel a little more fun than the one before. Out front, a 15-foot palm tree sways in the yard, making this possibly one of the only Camellia cottages featuring a palm of this size, setting the tone before you even step inside. This is the kind of place where mornings begin on the porch with coffee, afternoons involve a spontaneous golf cart ride, and evenings often end with music drifting through the air from nearby Town Square. And speaking of location, this home sits just moments from Town Square, making it one of the closest cottages to the heart of the community. Live music, events, restaurants, and friendly gatherings are practically around the corner, close enough to join the fun anytime yet perfectly tucked away when you're ready to relax. Step inside and the home immediately feels open, welcoming, and ready for entertaining. The family room lives large, anchored by a spacious kitchen island that naturally becomes the gathering place for stories, laughter, and maybe one more round before sunset. Above, a custom shiplap ceiling with handcrafted beams adds character far beyond builder standards, while a shiplap feature TV wall and warm sconces create a relaxed coastal atmosphere that feels stylish and comfortable. The kitchen is designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining, featuring an extended island, upgraded cabinetry with custom side panels, a custom pantry, and stunning quartz countertops carried to a full-height backsplash. Thoughtful lighting glows above, below, and beneath the cabinets and island, including illuminated kick plates, creating a soft evening ambiance perfect after a day spent enjoying the community. Because life here isn't just about the home, it's about the lifestyle surrounding it. Morning walks, pickleball, bike rides beneath the pines, meeting friends at Town Square concerts, or simply cruising over in your golf cart to see what's happening tonight, this community turns ordinary days into small celebrations. The dining space shines with a custom feature wall and Restoration Hardware lighting, ready for gatherings that tend to last longer than planned. Throughout the home, upgraded flooring flows seamlessly with no carpet anywhere, while designer lighting, ceiling fans, and dimmers allow you to set the mood from bright coastal mornings to relaxed island evenings. Pottery Barn drapes with oversized gold French return rods add a polished designer finish throughout. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat featuring a custom bed wall, built-in closet system, and softly lit TV shelf. The spa-inspired bath includes floor-to-ceiling tile, quartz countertops, a seamless glass shower enclosure, custom wall detailing, Ballard Designs mirrors and lighting, a built-in framed full-length mirror, and a frosted glass sliding door that adds a boutique resort feel. Guests enjoy equally thoughtful upgrades, including custom closet systems and designer finishes in the guest bath. Even the practical spaces were elevated, with custom cabinetry and trim in the laundry room, built-in shelving and a refrigerator/freezer in the garage, and a whole-house water filtration system for everyday comfort. Lovingly maintained by its original owner, this home has been used only as a part-time vacation retreat, never rented and never lived in full-time, preserving its exceptional condition. The home is offered fully furnished with stunning furnishings that complement the design perfectly, even including the golf cart, creating a truly turnkey opportunity. A small number of personal items, primarily autographed memorabilia, will not convey, but the overall presentation remains beautifully complete and ready to enjoy from day one. Because the real magic here isn't just the upgrades or the design -Sunshine, music, and coastal living await. That's why people move here.
