About this home
Welcome to this beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome in The Verandas, a well-maintained community in the heart of Freeport. With modern finishes, a convenient location, and a layout well suited for a primary residence or long-term rental, this home offers plenty of potential. The main level features an open-concept kitchen and dining area with high ceilings, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, an eat-in counter, crown molding, recessed lighting, and plenty of natural light.
Upstairs, both spacious bedrooms feature engineered hardwood flooring and private en-suite bathrooms. The laundry area is conveniently located between the bedrooms, and the washer and dryer are included. Step outside to the large back patio overlooking a peaceful pond and wooded area with no neighbors directly behind the unit.
Additional outdoor storage provides extra convenience. Major updates include an HVAC system installed in 2023 and a water heater replaced in 2022. Appliances convey, and the HOA maintains the roof.
The Verandas offers a large community pool, ample common areas, and additional parking. Conveniently located near Freeport's elementary, middle, and high schools with easy access to Choctawhatchee Bay, South Walton, and the white-sand beaches of the Emerald Coast.

Estimate: asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × Walton County rate (9.76 mills, county-average millage, 2025; verify with the property appraiser). Not a bill.
Current owner’s estimated bill $1,875/yr ($156/mo) — taxable value $191,611 × 9.76 mills
$400 less each year
(−21%)
The current taxable value ($191,611) is above the asking price. After a sale the assessment is typically set from market value, which here would be lower than the current taxable value, so the estimate is lower. Confirm with the county property appraiser — the appraiser, not the sale price, sets the assessment.

Oct 2026 · Infrastructure
Okaloosa County stabilizes 180 miles of dirt roads in north county
Okaloosa County has stabilized 180 miles of dirt roads using the voter-approved infrastructure surtax, more than triple the original goal of 50 miles in five years. The roads received a limerock base topped with chip-seal or hot-mix, and the county says only a handful of roads remain. The work is in north Okaloosa County.
Why it matters: Paved rural roads in north Okaloosa could improve year-round access and reduce road maintenance costs for areas near Crestview. The site is about 3 miles west of Verandas At.
Okaloosa commissioners reject 12-month data center moratorium 3-2
Okaloosa County commissioners voted 3-2 on September 15 against a 12-month data center moratorium. On September 3 the board unanimously directed staff to develop a regulatory framework for data centers, with an outline due within 60 days. No specific project or site was proposed, and commissioners discussed protecting the Shoal River Industrial Park.
Why it matters: The pending rules will shape where large power-and-land-intensive facilities can locate in the county, including industrial land near Crestview. The site is about 7 miles southwest of Verandas At.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 20 S Sand Palm Road and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 20 S Sand Palm Road was built in 2008 and has 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 20 S Sand Palm Road in?
20 S Sand Palm Road is in Verandas At Freeport in Freeport, Walton County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
Why might property taxes on 20 S Sand Palm Road differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $1,475 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $400 less per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (−21%). Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 20 S Sand Palm Road in a flood zone?
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.

Opinion & estimate — do not rely on this page. Any figure on this page that is not a verbatim fact from the listing or a public record — including estimated property taxes, insurance, CDD/HOA amounts, mortgage payments, comparable-sales summaries, and market statistics — is an opinion and estimate provided for general informational purposes only. These figures may be inaccurate or out of date, are not appraisals, valuations, or financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and should not be relied upon. Do not make any purchase, offer, financing, or other decision based on this page. Independently verify everything — price, square footage, lot size, year built, taxes, CDD/HOA, flood status, school assignments, permits, and community rules — with the listing broker, the county, your lender, a licensed inspector, an insurer, and your own advisors before acting.
Estimate methodology. Tax estimates apply county millage to the list price (less the homestead exemption where the parcel is matched to the certified roll) and will differ from the actual assessed bill. Cost and market figures are derived from available data and simple calculations, not a professional appraisal. We make no representation that any estimate reflects fair market value.
