About This Home

As of January 2023

Great price drop! No HOA and lot big enough for an RV in addition to your boat for a dry dock. Incredible waterfront opportunity for this entertainer's delight. Three years old with virtually no wear and tear /looks new. Imagine a life of leisure all on one floor with expansive views of the water. Covered porch overlooking the water to catch those summer breezes plus a multi person hot tub. Full solid surface patio with heated inground saltwater pool. New pier to dock that boat and then set sail to explore all that is Back River to Hart Miller Island and the Bay beyond. Did I mention Tiki Lees across the river? Home has 10'+ ceilings and open concept living room, dining and kitchen. Bedrooms are en suite. Stone front fireplace. Cook's kitchen with all the bells and whistles. Basement could be an in-law suite - equipped with a full recreation room, bath and potential bedroom. All of this and then the view of a lifetime. With a home like this? You can create your own Margaritaville. You won't care about a blown out flip flop, stepping on a pop top or a lost shaker of salt. You'll be too relaxed. Home meets vacation. Make this one yours.
