This tastefully renovated 3-4 bedroom home offers a rare combination of charm, functionality, and lifestyle. Located in the highly sought-after waterfront community of Old Chimney, the property includes an assigned 38' boat slip—perfect for boating enthusiasts. The home features an additional 900 sq ft of heated and cooled living space on the ground level (not included in the listed square footage), currently used as a fitness area, workshop, and full bath/laundry room—ideal for flexible use. (See floor plan for details.) Set on nearly an acre, the property is graced with mature oaks, tall pines, and palm trees, all providing serene views of the Intracoastal Waterway. Inside, the open-concept living spaces are enhanced by soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, and the inviting screened porch offers seamless indoor/outdoor living and stunning nature views. Notable upgrades include a modernized kitchen and bathrooms, luxury vinyl plank flooring, new windows, exposed wood beams, Hardie board siding, composite decking, and PVC railings—among many other thoughtful improvements. Old Chimney offers a welcoming community atmosphere with amenities such as a private marina with seating areas, a sandy beach, community pool, and tennis/pickleball court. Residents enjoy a vibrant social calendar, including an annual oyster roast, Fourth of July fireworks, pickleball tournaments, and weekly ''dock-tails'' throughout the warmer months. Don't miss this rare opportunity to enjoy coastal living at its finest in one of the area's most beloved communities!
