1720 Richardson Rd, Merritt Island, FL 32952

Added current pictures!!! With a couple of older ones with furniture placed. Pictures don't do this place justice. This house is absolutely a wonderful experience. Waterfront living, minutes to the Banana River, Cocoa Beach, and Port Canaveral cruises – this beautifully updated canal-front pool home is the quiet escape you’ve been dreaming of. Tucked away on the peaceful side of Merritt Island with just one stoplight between you and “everywhere you want to be,” this concrete-block home sits on a navigable canal with no bridges to go under and quick access to the locks. Launch your boat from your backyard and be in open water in minutes, experience bioluminescence, then come home to stunning water and pool views from almost every main room. Pool area surrounded by a spectacular mural painted by renowned Cocoa Beach artist Kole Shane Trent, bringing vibrant, tropical-inspired art to your private oasis. From the moment you arrive, Hawaiian plumeria and lush curb appeal set the tone. Step inside to a warm, inviting great room with a wood-burning fireplace and wood-beam accented vaulted ceiling. Beautiful textured wood-grain tile flows through the living areas, capturing natural light and drawing your eye straight out to the sparkling pool, canal, and extra green space beyond. 4 sets of sliding glass doors that open up to the pool deck provides a unique open house experience. The kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring granite countertops, brand-new appliances. Cedar-lined full-length closets, a full walk in pantry, and a spacious indoor laundry room add everyday comfort and storage. Step outside to your private outdoor oasis: a pool with a freshly painted deck overlooking the navigational canal, where you can fish, watch dolphins, manatees, and boats drift by. Whether you’re entertaining friends or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, the water is always in view – you can even enjoy the water view from your garage which by the way, have hurricane rated garage doors on the south and 2 large sliding glass doors on the north making your garage the best outdoor under roof, entertainment area!
