Tropical landscaping, a mature mango tree, and a fenced backyard provide privacy, while the heated pool, oversized spa, and expansive 12' x 60' dock with a 20,000-pound boat lift create the perfect waterfront retreat.

White Italian oak-inspired plank tile flooring flows throughout, while the family room features vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and a custom entertaining bar. The chef's kitchen is beautifully appointed with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry with appliance garages, a large center island, and premium Fisher & Paykel and Bosch appliances. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes spacious guest accommodations, a hidden laundry room, and a private primary suite with walk-in closet, water closet, and direct access to a secluded outdoor oasis overlooking the canal. A flexible den easily serves as a fourth bedroom, home office, or additional guest space. Extensive 2021 improvements provide both luxury and peace of mind, including a new roof, impact windows and sliders, and updated dock and pilings. Additional upgrades include all-new Schedule 40 drain piping beneath the slab and a 2025-installed 26KW whole-house generator with a 500-gallon propane tank, ensuring reliable backup power year-round. The covered waterfront lanai is pre-plumbed and wired for a future outdoor kitchen, creating an ideal setting for entertaining family and friends. Additional features include an oversized garage, carport, and ample parking.
