Property Description

Welcome to 600 Squirrel Road, where a newer home has been thoughtfully transformed with warmth, personality and practical upgrades inside and out. This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,773 square feet with an open living, dining and kitchen layout designed for everyday life and gathering. Since purchasing the home, the sellers have added layers of character that set it apart. Updated and additional lighting throughout the kitchen, dining area and baths includes pendant lighting over the island and a custom dining fixture, while mid-century modern accent paneling brings architectural interest to the dining room and one bedroom. The kitchen has been enhanced with open shelving, soft-close cabinet hinges and an RO water system. Built-in bench seating adds both charm and hidden storage, while additional cabinetry and shelving in the laundry room and primary bath create useful storage where it matters most. Additional improvements include fresh paint, updated guest fixtures, a glass shower door in primary bath, additional electrical work and a fully fenced yard. Outside may be one of the home's best surprises. A concrete patio and pergola covered in mature jasmine create an inviting outdoor living space surrounded by gardens designed to be enjoyed rather than simply looked at. Pollinator-friendly garden beds are joined by jasmine and honeysuckle along with fruiting orange, fig and peach trees, blueberries, blackberries and lemon, creating a backyard that feels established, personal and alive. The lifestyle extends beyond the property. Nearby Cat Island Park and Juniper Lake offer opportunities for paddle boarding, biking, walks and picnics by the water. Head into historic downtown DeFuniak Springs to shop for local goods at 9th Street Market, bike around Lake DeFuniak, visit the library, stop at Perla for coffee and a pastry, or spend an evening playing games at Last Stop Brew Vault with dinner from nearby Iron & Grape. 600 Squirrel Road offers something difficult to recreate in a newer home: the ease of a modern floor plan combined with the gardens, details, storage and personality that take time and care to create. The work has already been done and this one is ready to feel like home.
