Located just moments from the bay and only a short drive to the sugar-white beaches of 30A, this desirable community places you close to some of the area's best restaurants, boutique shopping, and scenic walking and biking trails perfect for relaxed coastal living. Welcome to 386 Marlberry Trace, a "better than new" home that blends elevated design with everyday comfort. Since acquiring the property three years ago, the owners have invested extensively in upgrades, transforming the home well beyond its original construction. From the moment you step inside, it's clear this is not a builder-grade residence every finish, fixture, and improvement has been intentionally selected with quality and longevity in mind. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring an expanded island that provides generous seating and workspace, making it ideal for entertaining and casual gatherings alike. Upgraded appliances, refined finishes, and a functional layout create a space that feels both stylish and practical, seamlessly connecting to the surrounding living areas for effortless flow. One of the home's standout features is the addition of a spacious screened porch, designed to extend the living space year-round. Complete with an electric fireplace, this inviting retreat offers the perfect setting for morning coffee, evening cocktails, great for barbeques or cozy nights overlooking the peaceful surroundings. It's a true indoor-outdoor living experience that enhances both comfort and lifestyle. In addition, the outdoor living area also serves as a large patio with Astro turf that allows for easy maintenance. Very little traffic passes by as you enjoy your large private backyard with your kids, animals, or family/friends. Throughout the home, attention to detail is evident from upgraded materials to cohesive design choices that create a warm, polished feel. Whether used as a primary residence, a second home, or a refined coastal retreat, this property offers a rare combination of thoughtful upgrades, privacy, and proximity to everything that makes Santa Rosa Beach so desirable. Homes in Hidden Grove are seldom available, and opportunities like this where location, craftsmanship, and livability align are increasingly hard to find. 386 Marlberry Trace offers the chance to enjoy the best of coastal living while still feeling tucked away in a quiet, welcoming neighborhood.
