779 2nd St Cedar Key, FL 32625

WOW! Take a look at this spectacular island cottage with an open deck in the shade of a sprawling Heritage Oak tree! Nestled beautifully within Cedar Key's Historic District, it's just a block from the Gulf in two directions, but sits high on a hill, requiring no flood insurance! View the open, sparkling GULF OF MEXICO below from your high spot--and from almost every room of this well-crafted home! Half of the home is ten years old, but was recently remodeled with new tile throughout and a new kitchen and bathroom. The other half is BRAND NEW! A second bedroom, gorgeous bath with soaking tub, efficiency kitchen, living area and bonus loft were all added within the past six months! Enjoy the whole property to yourself, or live in one side and use the other as a mother-in-law cottage, guest quarters, or even a short-term vacation rental. This stunning island cottage is packed with quality custom extras: Cypress window and door trim, custom-crafted Cypress cabin-style doors, hickory cabinetry, tiled shower, beautiful granite counters with complementary tiled backsplash, and a pantry to yearn for! Heating and cooling are quite affordable, due to the sprayed insulation and impressive 6" stud walls. When you close these windows and doors, you can't hear the slightest bit of noise--it is a very solidly built home. It even has an irrigation system to easily maintain the lovely surrounding gardens. You'll want to spend all of your time on the screened front porch, watching the dolphins, boats and seabirds and enjoying the surrounding charm of the historic district! With downtown restaurants, shops, market, library, post office and park just steps away, you will LOVE this location!
