There are homes that are built on the coast, & then there are homes that were thoughtfully designed to belong here. Set on nearly 1/2 acre of coastal land, just two homes from the beach, this remarkable property is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Florida's shoreline where the natural landscape has been carefully preserved and respected.
With a private walkway providing access to both the Gulf and Bay, the location is truly exceptional. Nearly 2000 sqft (under air) of single-level living space sits elevated on a natural mound, reflecting a thoughtful approach to Florida's terrain, climate & weather patterns.
The home was carefully built with the intention of standing the test of time. During Hurricane Milton, the property did experience limited water intrusion of approximately 4-8 inches, while surrounding areas of the key experienced significantly more extensive storm impacts.
Inside, the home has been thoughtfully remodeled to preserve its character while creating a welcoming, functional & remarkably versatile living environment. The design embraces the principles of universal accessibility, making the home comfortable for young families, those planning to age in place, multi-generational households, guests with mobility considerations, & anyone who simply appreciates an easy, open floor plan.
The light-filled coastal great room, accented by vaulted ceilings, offers multiple gathering spaces without sacrificing openness. At the center of it all is the expansive quartz island-the true "where everything happens" heart of the kitchen. Plenty of room for two cooks to work comfortably together.
The oversized dining area & inviting family room allow everyone to gather, mingle & enjoy the moment without feeling crowded. And then there is the fireplace-affectionately known as the "Memory Maker." This is the place where family photographs are taken, stockings are hung, pumpkins appear, Valentine's Day brings hugs and kisses, shamrocks bring s
miles, greeting cards fill the mantle, and on a chilly Florida morning, a crackling fire simply reminds you that life is good. The home's large media/flex room is another standout feature. Complete with a generous closet, separate entrance and pocket door, this space can become virtually anything you need-a home office, guest retreat, in-law sanctuary, hobby or media room.
This flexibility offers considerably more functional living space than the bedroom count alone suggests. The 2 private exterior bathroom doors make coming home from the beach especially convenient. An outdoor shower provides the perfect place for family, guests and even four-legged friends to rinse away sand & salt before entering the home.
The extensive updates include a new roof (1-year old), new hot water tank, 200-amp electrical panel, replacement of bottom electrical outlets throughout, new recessed lighting, dimmer switches, new appliances, remodeled kitchen & bathrooms, new flooring, fresh interior & exterior paint, 12 new Eureka trees, a new garage door & refinished epoxy garage floor.
The HVAC system includes 1 newer unit & 1 older unit. Perhaps most importantly, this is an opportunity to own land- and there simply isn't more coastal land being created. Come experience the ease, flexibility and feeling of this one-of-a-kind coastal home-where the land is special, the home was built with intention, & the spaces are ready to help you make memories for years to come. So much more to share, so please request a showing!
