Designed for entertaining on a grand scale, the outdoor living space includes a barbecue and cooking area, dining space for 20+ guests, multiple lounging areas, custom paver walkways, solar ambiance lighting, ceiling fans, and upgraded stairways and flooring leading to the upper balcony with breathtaking waterfront views. Boating enthusiasts will appreciate the private dock, newly stained and painted dock areas, and direct Gulf access from this rare navigable waterfront setting. Additional premium features include four new climate-controlled HVAC systems with heating and cooling, an oversized heated and air-conditioned garage with room for two full-size vehicles, a whole-house reverse osmosis water system that is owned and routinely serviced, a separate attached utility/storage room, a new well pump and supply piping still under warranty, combination fan/light fixtures throughout occupied rooms, a screened front porch with ceiling fans, and updated fencing and exterior finishes. The beautifully landscaped grounds provide exceptional privacy with mature palms, oak trees, ornamental plantings, and 10-foot hedges along both sides of the property. With vacant lots on either side and a 15-acre open equestrian center across the street, this home offers a rare combination of seclusion, nature, and expansive views. From sunrise over the water to evenings spent poolside under glowing lantern lights, this extraordinary waterfront retreat delivers luxury Florida living at its finest. This home DID NOT FLOOD during the Hurricanes!
