About this home
Experience Florida in a truly unique custom-built home, unlike anything else available on the market today. If you’re looking for a dignified appreciation for classic Florida architecture and a lush native landscaped yard where you can spend peaceful weekends outdoors, this home delivers! Set back from the road, the crushed shell driveway leads you through a tunnel of greenery and opens to pure Old Florida charm. The home stands out with a Key West inspired yellow Hardie Board siding and a wide screened porch. The timeless layout offers individual curated spaces, to be tailored for the way you live your life. On the first floor, you’ll find the primary suite with an open bathroom and walk-in closet with custom shelving. The staircase is front and center, a focal point, separating the formal living space from the family room. The kitchen is bright and inviting, with an abundance of storage found in exquisite German Alderwood cabinetry. From the breakfast nook, step out onto a covered screened porch overlooking the beautiful backyard. Upstairs, you’ll find a loft space, with 3 separate air conditioned bonus rooms, 2 generously sized guest bedrooms and a full bath. The attic (3rd floor) was converted to enclosed air-conditioned storage as well. Custom designed and meticulously maintained for 29 years by the same owners, this home tells a story of craftsmanship and love. Constructed with both solid poured concrete and 2x6 framing with conventional rafters built on site, not factory-built trusses. New metal roof in 2025 and two AC units both replaced in 2020. What the home offers inside is not to be overlooked by the details outside; 2.5 manicured acres with a mix of native Florida foliage and fruit trees. Walk the shell path through the shaded Cypress head to the backyard complete with your own private sand beach, a huge grass area, covered gazebo and a lighted fishing dock over the canal. Automatic lighting at dusk throughout the yard and landscape lighting brings an added layer of beauty, even in the dark. There’s even a parking area and RV hook up and fish prep station. All of this wrapped into an ideal location that’s close in, but feels like a private oasis.
