$425,000 - 5804 Shady Bayou Ln, Milton

Waterfront living on Trout Bayou with your boat in the backyard and the bay just beyond it. This elevated 2 bedroom, 2 bath home offers 1,947 square feet with an open upstairs living area overlooking the bayou and wooded views beyond. Upstairs, the main living space was designed to stay open and connected, with natural light moving through the home from morning to evening and wide views out toward the bayou and woods beyond. Quartz counters, a massive counter space inviting everyone to gather, a wood-burning fireplace, and a huge deck overlooking the bayou create one connected space that works just as well for quiet mornings as it does for a house full of people. Downstairs adds an entirely separate flexible space with a full bath and closet behind the Murphy door — ideal for guests, an office, workout room, playroom, or overflow living space. Outside, the setup keeps getting better: 82 feet of waterfront, a boat lift with direct access to the bay, covered outdoor living and dining space, fenced yard, workshop, covered parking, and even an exterior lift to make groceries and furniture easier to get upstairs. Roof replaced in 2016, HVAC 2020, water heater 2021, hurricane clips, transferable termite bond, and pilings encased in concrete caissons for long-term durability. Peaceful waterfront setting. Modern updates. Functional spaces inside and out.
