About this home

Recently improved price – now $620,000. This Gulf-access waterfront home with no bridges to open water offers an exciting opportunity for boaters and buyers looking to personalize their Florida retreat. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and over 2,000 sq ft, the home offers a distinctive layout designed to create separate, comfortable living spaces while still keeping the focus on the waterfront lifestyle. Many buyers appreciate how the layout naturally separates entertaining, relaxing, and private areas. The pool area provides a spacious outdoor setting to enjoy the Florida sunshine, and the pool is both solar heated and equipped with an electric heater for year-round enjoyment. Major updates include a new roof (2024), water heater (2025), A/C (2017), electrical panel replacement (2020), repaired sprinkler system, and a whole-house generator hookup in the garage. Boaters will appreciate the 25,000 lb boat lift, recently updated with a new motor, belt, pulleys, and rails.
