Wake up to sweeping bay views and end your evenings with unforgettable sunsets from this beautifully remodeled waterfront home in Fenwick Island. Perfectly positioned on a canal within town limits, this 4-bedroom, 4-bath coastal retreat offers the rare combination of protected canal frontage and stunning open bay vistas. Remodeled in 2021, the home was thoughtfully designed to maximize natural light and water views throughout the living spaces. The open layout flows seamlessly to multiple outdoor areas where you can relax, entertain, and take in the panoramic scenery. The views are truly the centerpiece of this property. The spacious kitchen is ideal for hosting, featuring two ovens, two dishwashers, and generous gathering space for family and guests. Additional highlights include durable Hardie Plank siding, hurricane-rated high-impact windows, dual-zone HVAC, and a kayak lift for easy access to the water. An elevator shaft has already been framed for a future elevator, adding flexibility and long-term convenience. Walking distance from the beach, restaurants, and shopping, this exceptional waterfront property captures everything buyers are looking for in luxury Fenwick Island coastal living.
