One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. This custom-built, one-owner, four-bedroom, 4,600 square foot home is located above the base flood elevation on a wide one-acre parcel, offering privacy, space, and over 130 linear feet of private water frontage on a wide stretch of the intracoastal waterway. A huge bonus: it is not in a flood zone and sits at 13 ft elevation. There was zero flood/surge damage from Helene or Milton. The home has wonderful curb appeal and is set back from the street with a circular driveway and a brick pathway flanked by a well-stocked koi pond. You enter the two-story foyer which opens up onto a large, light filled living room with soaring 19 ft ceilings, rich wood floors, a wood-burning fireplace with floor to ceiling coral stone surround, and sliders out to the sun-soaked pool deck. There is a formal dining room, a separate family room with wet bar and ice maker, a large kitchen with an adjacent breakfast room, a butler's pantry and an antechamber that is set up to be a wine storage room. The kitchen has a double oven, huge Subzero freezer, separate refrigerator and plenty of countertop space, and a handy passthrough to the family room. There are two bedrooms on the first floor and a bathroom which serves as a pool bath if you don't want to rinse off in the outdoor shower. In addition to the four bedrooms and office in the main house, there are two additional air-conditioned work/hobby spaces in the garage, which is accessed via a covered walkway. One of the rooms faces north and was used as an art room. The other is sound-proofed and could work well as an office, dark room or gym. The oversized garage has a workbench. The second floor has two sections connected via a walkway overlooking the main living area. To the right is a nice sized bedroom and ensuite bathroom and to the left is the primary suite with a beautiful wood-paneled office with rich wooded cabinetry and a wood burning fireplace. A screened balcony off the bedroom and office offers unparalleled views of the intracoastal waterway and some of the Gulf coast's finest sunset skies. These wide-open west-facing views are part of what makes this home an incredible opportunity for its new owner. There is a covered screened lanai as well as uncovered outdoor living and dining space. The pool is huge and has a max depth of 8 ft. Enjoy a navigable route out to the main channel. Take this incredible .97-acre waterfront property, make it your own, and enjoy endless sunsets and all that the Florida lifestyle has to offer!
