About this home
Imagine waking up just steps from Bonita Beach, grabbing your morning coffee, and deciding whether today is a beach day, a boating day, or both. This coastal waterfront home delivers the Florida lifestyle buyers dream about, with no HOA restrictions, 15 minute gulf access via boat, and a private composite dock with a boat lift right in your backyard. Inside, the home is filled with natural light and an easy, open flow designed for relaxed coastal living. The skylight filled kitchen connects seamlessly to the living and dining areas, creating a bright and welcoming space for everyday living and entertaining. A center island with breakfast bar, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, ambient lighting, and new coastal white tile floors make the kitchen both stylish and functional. Surrounded by windows, it is the perfect place to start the day. The living area opens to an upper lanai with composite decking and a custom designer coastal railing overlooking the water. This elevated outdoor space is ideal for sunrise mimosas and sunset cocktails, watching boats pass by, or spotting dolphins and manatees from your own backyard. The primary suite offers a private retreat with hardwood floors, generous closet space, and a beautifully updated ensuite bathroom featuring dual sinks, granite countertops, coastal cabinetry, mirrored medicine cabinets, and a glass walk-in shower with designer tile. Two guest bedrooms with hardwood floors and ample closets provide comfortable accommodation for family and friends. Downstairs, a bright flex space adds versatility for a home office, gym, or guest overflow. An impact glass French door opens to a covered outdoor area and an oversized grassy yard that invites outdoor living. From here, step directly onto your private dock, launch a kayak, hop on the boat, or simply enjoy the waterfront setting. Additional features include a two-car garage with extra storage and an outdoor beach shower. Major updates provide peace of mind, including a new metal roof, new entry and kitchen flooring, two newer tankless hot water heaters, new composite decking and custom coastal detailing on the upper lanai. With Bonita Beach just steps away, Barefoot Beach an easy bike ride, and waterfront dining accessible by walking, bicycle, or boat, this home offers a rare combination of beach proximity and boating convenience. This is more than a home; it is a lifestyle where every day feels like a vacation.
