About This Home

In a quaint and desirable boating community where the streets are named for seashells and the beautiful navigable canal system winds through tropical vegetation, manicured lawns and wonderful homes, you’ll find a unique masterpiece of design and location. At the private end of the quiet street is this oversized lot bordered by wide intersecting canals offering unbelievable beautiful and peaceful water views. Opening the blinds of all five bedrooms in this sprawling estate will fill the rooms with warm natural light and views of dolphins swimming by and boats lazily drifting by for a day in the gulf waters. The interior proudly welcomes you to enjoy the gorgeous remodel starting with the living room where the linear fireplace under the large flatscreen TV is hosted by beautiful floors and vaulted ceilings. The warm intimate feel is complemented by a modern kitchen where beautiful cabinetry and shelving surround the stainless-steel appliances, and a large island great for entertaining family and friends. The gorgeous remodel guides you through the well-designed home and all four baths, each beautiful in a unique way. The intimate seating area is great for conversations as the beamed ceiling with wood inlaid draws the eye to the large caged pool and sprawling lawn beyond. Your stunning water frontage is complemented by a private boat dock and lift just minutes to open water. Locations like this are rare, five-bedroom homes are few, finding both together is a dream come true.
