About This Home

Are you searching for nearly an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds on a canal with direct access to Shell Creek and the Peace River? How about having a park right next door—one that feels private, since its entrance blends in with nearby driveways and yards? Or maybe you’re looking for over 2,000 square feet of living space (nearly 3,000 square feet total) to make your own. If so, this property is calling your name. With 210 feet of seawall and a boat lift (currently not in use), this home is a haven for boaters and anglers alike—fish right from your backyard or the park next door. Inside, the home is a blank canvas ready for your personal touch. The spacious primary suite features a clawfoot tub and separate shower. Walk-in cedar-lined closets fill the other bedroom spaces with the warm scent of cedar. French doors open from the primary bedroom to a lanai, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or weekend brunch. Tile floors flow throughout the home—no carpet here—keeping the space fresh and easy to maintain. Outside, you’ll find plenty of room for a pool or other backyard features, along with a large shed/storage building. The location offers the best of both worlds: tucked away on a quiet street, yet close to shopping, dining, and conveniences. Don’t miss this chance to experience Florida living surrounded by nature.
