THIS HOME WAS HIGH & DRY FOR HURRICANES IAN & HELENE!!! No water in the home, pool, or even the garage! With quick, deep water access to the Gulf of Mexico, you will enjoy having your boat on the covered 10,000# lift with a wrap-around dock with water and electric. The Intracoastal Waterway is less than 5 minutes away, with no bridges or locks to maneuver! The inviting outside entry has a lovely entertaining area, and never have to mow the front yard because it’s turf! You will enjoy the 20’ ceiling in the entry and great room! Enjoy the “heart of the home” in the kitchen with premium granite counters, stainless appliances, a pantry, and a snack bar opened to the great room. The primary bedroom upstairs has plenty of privacy, a large bathroom with a jacuzzi tub, a walk-in shower, dual sinks, and a large walk-in closet! There are two bedrooms and a bath downstairs for your guests. The sliders in the kitchen lead to the covered outside gathering spot to relax, read, or watch the wildlife, manatees, and dolphins swimming in the canal. There is a pool bath from the pool to the great room. The lovely heated pool was resurfaced in 2019, and the “No-see-um” (20/20) screen enclosure was replaced in 2023. A few other improvements include all gutters, downspouts, and roof replaced in 2023, seawall repair by Honc, and a new water heater, and HVAC system all in 2021. You will enjoy no HOA fees or restrictions. Need space for a boat trailer or RV? No problem, park your RV in the driveway with 50AMP power! This home is sold furnished!
