Rarely do we have an opportunity to purchase a legacy beach home, accompanied by the many years of love and care, memories and respect, that’s evident in it today. However, 139 Banfill, located directly on Western Lake in Grayton Beach,is offered for sale. It can be yours! The Lewis family has owned this property for nearly 70 years. The first of their beach cottages was damaged beyond repair in Hurricane Opal in 1995, and gave way to the current two-story home in 1997. Designed as their summer home, not a rental, there are large overhangs to keep the sun off the huge porches that surround the house on the West and South sides. You command enticing views of the Gulf of Mexico and Western Lake. Graciously greet the stunning sunrise over the lake on the large covered upstairs porch facing East. - a place to just relax, have coffee and feel blessed. There is 50 feet of covered parking which leads to a handicap access ramp.
Three bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths were ample for this family. Sleeping on the porches and the living room daybed were premium spots...but you could enclose them if you needed more heated and cooled space.The 100 feet of decking to your own private dock on Western Lake gives way to Kayaking, canoeing, Yolo boarding and fishing/crabbing. If you're waiting to make a life time of memories...in this soulful place, as four generations of Lewis's have...your wait is over.
Grayton Beach was named the number one beach in America, by Dr. Stephen Leatherman (Dr. Beach). What a unique environment. Here our hearts are still slow-tuned to a more simple, magical past, they are merged with the imagination, alure and conveniences of the present.
