Waterfront dining favorites like Lido's and Mar Bar are just beyond the dock.Set on an almost 10,000 sq ft lot, the property offers room to create an outdoor oasis, including space for a pool, in one of the Upper Keys' most desirable boating locations.A rare opportunity combining solid construction, exceptional access, and lifestyle.
