Step into this STR-ready, new construction duplex designed from the ground up to perform as a true income-producing asset. Located in no-HOA Upper Grand Lagoon, Unit A offers a rare combination of modern construction, flexible rental strategy, and long-term durability, making it ideal for short-term, mid-term, or executive rental use.

What You’ll Love:
• 3 true bedroom suites plus a half bath, offering privacy and flexibility for guests
• Open-concept layout that lives like a single-family home
• Quartz countertops throughout the kitchen and baths
• 10-foot ceilings on the main level and 9-foot ceilings upstairs for an elevated feel
• Extra-wide staircases designed for easy luggage turnover and efficient cleaning
• Spray-foam insulation, Hardie siding, and Quick Tie hurricane system to help lower operating costs
• 10 x 20 golf-cart garage with roll-up door and 220 power stubbed for EV, pool, or future amenities
• Deep backyard with room for a pickleball court, plunge pool, or enhanced outdoor living
• Fully sodded lot with irrigation already in place

Built in 2025, this duplex was engineered for performance, durability, and tax efficiency, with valuable depreciable assets already in place. Thoughtful layout and construction choices support strong cash flow today while helping protect capital long term.

Located in a proven demand corridor, you’re just minutes from marinas, boat ramps, St. Andrews State Park, Navy base access, and multiple Gulf beach entry points. This makes the property especially attractive for investors targeting high-occupancy coastal rentals.

An added bonus: Adjoining Unit B is also available, allowing an investor to control the entire building, double income streams, and position for a cleaner exit in the future.

Bring your STR playbook, house-hack strategy, or long-term hold vision. This duplex was built to be an asset, not a project.
