Welcome to 2132 Hayes Ave, a completely remodeled 3BR/3BA single-story brick home on an oversized 0.48-acre corner lot in Highland View, offering bay views and a backyard built for entertaining with a heated pool, hot tub, and covered outdoor kitchen. Originally built in 1975, the home was stripped all the way down to the bricks in 2023 by Crest Enterprises and rebuilt with an all-new slab, plumbing, electrical, impact-resistant windows and doors, and a 2023 metal roof, giving you the solid brick shell of an older home with everything behind the walls brand new. Whether you are entering through the front door or straight in from the covered carport, you will be greeted by the family room and kitchen, where a painted brick fireplace and a great view of the bay set the tone for the whole house. The kitchen features soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, a BlueStar gas range with a pot filler, a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and an island with breakfast seating. This area has plenty of room for seating, along with a generous dining space, currently set up with a large dining table, making it easy to host big dinners without anyone feeling crammed in. Just off the kitchen is a laundry room/pantry with built-in shelving, keeping groceries and laundry close by but out of sight. Heading toward the back of the house, you will walk right into the living room, a large, open space with tons of natural light and direct access to the pool and backyard. The master suite is spacious, with TWO walk-in closets featuring a built-in safe and a bathroom showing off dual vanities, a freestanding tub, and a walk-in shower finished in top-notch marble tile, while both guest bedrooms enjoy bay views and share a full bathroom with a tiled shower/tub setup. High-quality Coretec LVP flooring runs throughout the entire home, and a tankless gas water heater keeps the hot water coming no matter how many people are rinsing off after the beach. Outside is where this property truly shines. Behind a 6-foot privacy fence, the heated pool and hot tub are surrounded by travertine pavers, the covered outdoor kitchen is outfitted with Wolf appliances, and a full outdoor bathroom with a tiled shower sits just off the kitchen, so nobody has to track pool water through the house. An additional storage shed adds room for pool supplies, tools, or beach gear. Out front, the home sits caddy-corner on the lot, leaving a large front yard with a live, producing pecan tree, along with a driveway that holds 6 cars and a covered carport for 2 more. With short-term rentals allowed, no HOA, and a location just 2 minutes from the boat ramp and 3 minutes from downtown Port St. Joe, this one checks all the boxes. Call today for a showing!
