Discover the perfect coastal boating lifestyle in this beautifully updated canal-front home with direct, easy access to the open Gulf waters. This property has stayed completely dry and untouched through every major storm. It features a refreshed dock with a brand-new 10,000-pound boat lift, making this modern waterfront gem truly stand out. This inviting two-bedroom, two-bath home (with easy modifications available to create a third bedroom) offers an expansive two-car garage, plenty of driveway parking, and a private swimming pool. Located on a generous third-acre lot with no HOA or community fees, it truly embodies relaxed, high-end Florida waterfront living. The roof was replaced in 2022. Step inside to bright, open interiors with a soft contemporary feel. Recent updates include beautiful coastal-style plank flooring, a gourmet kitchen with premium quartz-like countertops, subtle under-cabinet lighting, high-end Samsung appliances, and custom finishes throughout. The open-concept layout flows naturally from the kitchen into the spacious living areas. Large glass doors in the oversized great room open to the pool and deliver stunning water views from almost every room. The owner's suite is generously sized with a refreshed en-suite bathroom. The guest bedroom is tucked away on the opposite side for maximum privacy, featuring a large walk-in closet, private door, and its own updated bath. There's also a versatile bonus room currently used as a home office with lounge seating and extra space. Open-water boating is just a quick cruise away - less than three miles.
