About this home

The world is your oyster with sailboat/large power boat quick access to the Harbor and Gulf! Superior luxury is found from the moment you arrive at the circular paver driveway. Inside you'll find an open floor plan designed to accentuate the view of intersecting canals. Throughout the house you’ll find IMPACT windows, tray ceilings, large plank tile floors, and beautiful lighting abundant with timers and dimmers. Granite countertops enhance the beauty. A glass wine enclosure captures your eye in the kitchen, which is accentuated by upper and lower cabinet lighting, specialized cabinet drawers, a walk-in pantry and double door pantry, a coffee bar, and a dry bar that flows into the living room for convenient entertaining. The triple sliding glass door "pockets" into the wall, opening up to an outdoor space that takes your breath away. A 57' lanai borders the canalfront, complete with remote-controlled roll-down sun shades, a custom built wet bar, lighting options, and wiring for a jacuzzi. A paver patio just below is designed for grilling and has access to a tall storage room. The pavers continue down to the 30' x 10' dock and 80' of concrete seawall that is city-maintained for your convenience! There are no bridges limiting your boating access to the Gulf of Mexico. It's just a few minutes by boat to reach the Buckley's Pass access to the harbor. No thought was spared when wiring for televisions and interior/exterior speakers, timed exterior lighting and sprinklers, and an alarm system. Both of the guest bedrooms are entered through their own halls with full bathrooms, and have built-in makeup or computer vanities and extra wide closets. Privacy is found in the primary bedroom suite, complete with a deep walk-in closet, linen closet, and tile shower. An office nook off of the foyer can easily be closet space if preferred.
