About This Home

As of March 2026

Wake up to the gentle rhythm of the water in this coastal retreat perfectly positioned along a canal leading directly to the Indian River Bay. Designed for relaxed waterfront living, this home offers multiple outdoor spaces where you can unwind, entertain, and take in the ever-changing water views. A spacious rear deck overlooks the canal, creating the perfect backdrop for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or evenings spent watching boats pass by. The main living level welcomes you with warm hardwood floors and a light, neutral coastal palette that flows throughout. An updated kitchen anchors the space with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a generous island ideal for gathering. The adjoining dining area opens to a front balcony, allowing natural light and bay breezes to fill the home. Two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath with a stacked washer and dryer complete this level, offering flexibility for guests or family. Upstairs, the home truly opens up with a bright and airy living room featuring vaulted ceilings and a wet bar with a mini fridge, perfect for entertaining or creating a second lounge space. Sliding glass doors lead to an upper balcony, offering another vantage point to enjoy the coastal scenery. The primary suite is also located on this level and includes a large walk-in closet and a Jack-and-Jill bath that connects to a fourth bedroom, ideal for guests, a home office, or a bunk room. The ground level enhances the coastal lifestyle with covered parking for two vehicles, a large workshop or storage area with electric, perfect for hobbies or water gear and an expansive outdoor shower complete with a utility sink, ideal for rinsing off after a day on the water or cleaning the catch of the day. The backyard offers plenty of space for a fire pit and outdoor gatherings. There is potential for boat parking right along the canal that takes you right out to the Indian River bay. Whether you’re searching for a vacation escape, a year-round waterfront home, or an income-producing investment, this canal-front property offers the space, setting, and versatility to make coastal living truly effortless.
