About This Home
This 2024-built 3-bedroom, 2-bath stilt home offers 1,518 square feet of modern coastal living and is built like it plans to be here a while. The oversized pilings are driven approximately 25 feet into the ground, providing serious structural confidence and peace of mind. Elevated, well-built, and thoughtfully designed, this home checks both the practical and aesthetic boxes. It has never been lived in full time, and yes—it still has that unmistakable “new home smell” you don’t usually get in resale homes. Inside, you’ll find a bright, open-concept floor plan with a spacious great room and a stylish kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, and a large island perfect for entertaining, meal prepping, or pretending you’re on a cooking show. The split-bedroom layout offers privacy, with three generously sized bedrooms and two modern bathrooms finished with clean, contemporary touches. Natural light fills the home, and the elevated setting adds both airflow and charm. Downstairs, the covered area provides flexible space currently set up with a spa and seating—ideal for post-fishing relaxation, evening cocktails, or just enjoying the fact that you don’t live in a snowstorm. Parking is conveniently located in front of the home, and the stilt design makes excellent use of space while enhancing the coastal lifestyle. Situated near the highly desirable Henley Canal—one of the most active canals in St. James City—the home offers a front-row seat to daily boat traffic, island vibes, and authentic Pine Island living. You’re within walking distance to restaurants, waterfront bars, fishing spots, and all the local flavor that makes this area special. The home is currently set up for and actively operating as a vacation rental and can continue as such with new ownership, making it a rare find that works just as well as an investment as it does a personal retreat. Whether you’re looking for a primary residence, a seasonal escape, or a property that pays for itself while you’re not using it, this one delivers—with a little personality to match.
