The brand-new heated saltwater pool and adjoining hot tub offer four-season enjoyment rarely found this close to the beach. Mature landscaping and privacy hedges create exceptional seclusion, while the generous yard still provides plenty of room for games, entertaining, or pets. Located in Seawatch, one of the island's most desirable coastal communities, residents enjoy private beach access, an oceanfront tiki bar, community pool, playground, tennis and pickleball courts, walking trails, flower gardens, and more. Additional improvements include a new main-level HVAC system, fresh exterior paint, custom driveway, water softener, storm shutters, buried propane tank, and more.
