About This Home

As of July 2020

This exceptional property is situated just over 1 block from the beach on an oversized 7,475 SF lot at the corner of two canals with190 feet of canal frontage, and dock for the boat enthusiast. The lot, beautifully landscaped with colorful gardens and irrigated lawn, is about 50% oversized at 7,475 SF and located on a cul-de-sac in a quiet neighborhood with no above-ground utilities. Sold fully furnished & turn-key, the custom and meticulously maintained home, built by R.A. Bunting Co., provides a generous 3,600 SF of living space, an open main-level floor plan and water views from most rooms. The main level features a large dining area and white kitchen with island, a huge family room with gas fireplace, a screened porch, a master bedroom with walk-in closet and private bathroom, a den, and laundry facilities. The upper level includes a second master bedroom, three additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, large closets, a covered porch and open deck for elevated, outdoor enjoyment with family and friends. The lower level includes a heated/cooled entry foyer and large 350 SF storage room. Outside, there are 2 showers for beachgoers, a double carport for 2 cars, driveway parking space for 4 additional cars, and a large covered patio area for outdoor relaxation and dining with a separate gas line for grilling. This stunning property also features hardwood floors, ceramic-tiled bathrooms, Andersen windows & doors, a central vacuum, and all-new Carrier two-zone HVAC. It is offered at $1.29M with the lot alone valued at slightly over $725K based on the sale of a 10,750 SF vacant corner lot just 3 blocks down the same canal for $1.1M (MLS #1001576698). With the lot value alone being at least $727K, that calculates our list price for the 3,600 SF immaculate home to be just $563K making for an incredible buy! This is truly a phenomenal value!
