Located in the prestigious Center Island South neighborhood, showcasing a sophisticated architectural footprint and choice design elements, this fully remodeled 3581SF ttl contemporary home offers indirect Gulf access through Caxambas Pass with just one bridge out. Reimagined in 2024 with curated modern finishes, the residence features a sleek architectural profile with an updated facade, new roof, impact-rated windows and doors, porcelain tile flooring throughout, a dramatic oversized entry door, soaring cathedral ceilings with clerestory windows, automatic blinds, and expansive sliders that frame stunning views. The great room offers relaxed luxury with a granite-surround fireplace, reclining sectional, and built-in wine fridge. The designer kitchen is outfitted with quartz countertops, illuminated white cabinetry, a Samsung smart refrigerator, and a shimmering glass tile backsplash. Pendant lighting adds warmth to the center island breakfast bar and highlights a window-wrapped dining nook. The refined primary suite includes built-in closets, lanai access, and a spa-like bath with a freestanding tub, dual vanities, walk-in shower, and a custom beauty vanity. Both guest bedrooms offer en suite baths with designer finishes, and the office features sleek, modern furnishings. The spacious laundry room includes Samsung appliances, a sink, and storage. Outdoors, enjoy a resort-style pool with beautifully tiled pool decking, a covered lanai with tongue-and-groove ceiling, and a 2019 postcard-frame screen enclosure designed for unobstructed views. The 150-foot dock is a true showpiece with a beautifully inlaid sundeck, over-water conversation area, three Jet Ski lifts, a small boat lift, and a 45-foot covered slip for vessels up to 40 feet. Surrounded by tropical landscaping, the home includes architectural lighting, a long paver driveway, and a roomy two-car garage. Fully furnished in a modern coastal palette, this exceptional property combines high-end design, smart technology, and a premier waterfront lifestyle.
