Property Description

There are waterfront homes with views—and then there are homes where the sunrises and sunsets feel like daily events created just for you. This three-level coastal retreat overlooks the Intracoastal Waterway and includes a 25' assigned boat slip with a 10k lift, maintained by the HOA for easy boating access. The first floor features a fully finished 757 sq.ft. heated and cooled basement with LVP flooring, a flex room and den separated by double pocket doors, a utility room, abundant storage, and a door with a doggy door leading to the back yard. It also offers access to a single-car garage with a custom storage system, an outdoor shower, and a large covered storage area ideal for kayaks, paddleboards, boat trailers, and gear. With the conversion of the mechanical room into a bath, this level could serve as a private suite or rental. All three bedrooms on the second floor have Andersen doors opening to a freshly painted wraparound deck. The primary suite includes new carpet, privacy glass, and a tiled walk-in shower with dual rain heads. A hot tub sits just outside, and the laundry room is conveniently nearby. The third floor showcases the best views with an open living area, hardwood flooring, new Andersen doors that open to a Trex deck, a gas-log fireplace, and a well-appointed kitchen with granite, a large island, wine fridge, and showcase cabinetry. An interior Widow's Peak walk-up serves as a bright home office. Recent updates include new Pella windows, exterior paint (2024), architectural roof (2024), new Carrier HVACs (2024 & 2025), and a fully transformed back yard with sod, white fencing, and irrigation.
