$269,000 - 2853 Hidden Springs Dr, Pensacola

Hidden Springs is a small tucked-away community built around an incredible natural water feature, and this home captures that setting beautifully. If you are a nature lover waiting for a property that truly feels special, this is the one. The clear water, thriving ecosystem, and quiet surroundings create the feeling of a private wildlife preserve just steps from your door. From the spring-side patio, you can watch herons, mallards, hooded mergansers, Muscovy ducks, turtles, bass, and bluegill in a setting that feels almost untouched near the Bayou Marcus Bird Sanctuary. The home itself has old Florida fishing cottage charm, but it has been extensively renovated into a true turn-key retreat. Features include new windows, plumbing drain lines, fresh interior and exterior paint, new baseboards, one-level LVP flooring, vaulted ceilings, and a high-efficiency dual-fuel HVAC system with smart thermostat. Smart LED lighting offers app controls, dimmers, color settings, Sputnik fixtures, and motion-sensor exterior lighting. The kitchen features all-wood soft-close cabinets with brass hardware, quartz counters, stainless appliances, air fryer/convection oven, 3-rack dishwasher, and a 16-gauge workstation sink with dual-spray faucet. The spa-style bathroom includes impressive tile work, LED mirror, champagne bronze fixtures, handheld shower wand, built-in shelving, soft-close cabinetry, and outlet for a heated towel warmer. Outside you’ll find a covered grilling area that could also serve as a cold plunge retreat space, a new concrete patio beside the spring, 6-foot privacy fence with dual gates, and no neighbors across the street means more privacy and nature views. The metal roof was serviced with oversized fasteners and panel replacements for additional peace of mind. At night, with very little light pollution, the setting becomes peaceful, quiet, and retreat-like. Bring the friend who says they can “feel” good energy in a place; they may not stop talking about this one.
