Property Description
This is not a typo, this is for the combined .24 acres corner lot on the west end of PCB. In its current configuration, you could build a main home and a carriage home on each lot, then combine the lots for a single family residence. This is the only way to achieve a detached structure on less than .25 acres in Bay County. Contact Whitby today 850.974.4140 Welcome to 21823 Marlin Ave, a charming, Old Florida coastal cottage where classic Florida architecture meets modern Florida living in the heart of the up-and-coming West End of Panama City Beach. The quoted 880 sq ft does not include the 268sq ft enclosed sunroom- essentially giving 1,148 sq ft enclosed under the roof. Desirably located in the non-HOA, golf cart and short-term rental friendly community of Riviera Beach, this classic beach home is positioned just a few blocks from Front Beach Road and the Gulf. With multiple public beach access points to choose from, you can be enjoying the area's white sand beaches and relaxing coastal breezes within minutes by golf cart or bike. Whether you are seeking a primary residence, a personal vacation getaway, or a short-term rental investment property, this home delivers the ultimate flexibility. This cinder block home was designed to be durable, and has been upgraded throughout the years to enhance the durability and efficiency of the home. Some upgrades include a high-quality metal roof, an enclosed sun room, and durable bamboo flooring installed throughout the home's living spaces. Fully paid-off solar panels offset much of the current owner's power bill, adding sustainability and energy savings to the list of items that make this home just as practical as it is charming. This listing represents the vacant lot and the primary home to combine for a 90x107 parcel. MLS #967493 & #967494

Beyond the interior, the home's exterior continues the trend of flexibility for the new owners. The fenced-in back yard provides privacy and plenty of room for outdoor activities, whether you are envisioning a relaxing pool, a lush garden, or an outdoor entertainment space under the stars.
Riviera Beach offers a balanced mix of rentals and full time residents who regularly organize activities to bring the community together such as holiday golf cart parades, community yard sales, holiday costume contests and more. If you have been looking to fully embrace the relaxed coastal lifestyle, Riviera Beach can provide the vital components that help create it, including a vibrant community, access to stunning beaches, and convenience to all that 30A and Panama City Beach have to offer. To the West, 30Avenue and Rosemary Beach are approximately 4 miles away, meaning coveted dining, boutique shopping, and world class entertainment of 30A are mere minutes away from your front door. To the East, Pier Park is approximately 6 miles away, the ECP International Airport is 17 miles away, and St Andrews state park is 17 miles away, meaning all that Panama City Beach has to offer is right at your fingertips.
This cottage isn't just another house, its a sturdy built home in the heart of an area that is growing quickly and in ways similar to Inlet Beach a decade ago. With large, luxury homes currently being built in the neighborhood, the desirability for Riviera Beach is only expected to increase as those who love 30A search for better beach access, less traffic congestion, and more opportunity for property in areas that offer flexible rental options. Whether you plan to soak up the sun on the nearby beaches and unwind after in your personal oasis, or you plan to utilize rental flexibility of the non-HOA neighborhood to offset the cost of ownership in your real estate portfolio, 21823 Marlin offers one of the best value opportunities available in Riviera Beach to help you achieve your goals.
At the time of this listing, the adjacent lot with a storage shed is also available for purchase. Double lots are a rare commodity in Riviera Beach, and owning both parcels would combine into a quarter corner lot at Kelly St and Marlin Ave.
