About This Home

Experience coastal living at its finest in this beautifully renovated waterfront home, ideally situated just moments from the beach and offering 70 feet of prime canal frontage. With five spacious bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and one half bath, this exceptional property seamlessly blends luxury, comfort, and the ultimate waterfront lifestyle. Originally built in 1990 and completely renovated in 2021, the home was thoughtfully redesigned with entertaining and everyday living in mind. Sun-filled, open living spaces showcase stylish finishes throughout, while the gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home. Designed for both the avid cook and entertainer, it features a 48-inch KitchenAid range with a convenient pot filler, two dishwashers, a beverage refrigerator, an ice maker, two spacious pantries, and abundant workspace. The home's impressive features continue with two primary suites, beautifully tiled bathrooms and showers, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, a double-sided ventless propane fireplace, energy-efficient geothermal heating and cooling, and an oversized garage. A custom built-in bookcase in the bunkroom conceals a hidden storage room that offers endless possibilities, including use as additional storage, a private retreat, or the opportunity to create a future bathroom. Outdoor living is equally exceptional, with maintenance-free 25-year composite decking and a fully fenced backyard that offers privacy while overlooking the tranquil canal. Whether you're spending the day at the beach, launching your boat from your own backyard, entertaining on the deck, or simply relaxing by the water, this home offers the perfect setting to enjoy coastal living year-round. Combining an unbeatable location, extensive modern updates, and exceptional waterfront amenities, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly turnkey coastal retreat.
