Nestled within this prestigious, 24-hour guard-gated community, this stunning canal-front home offers the ultimate waterfront lifestyle with 86 feet of serene frontage, where manatees glide by and tropical breezes fill the air. Set on over ¼ acre of lush, sun-drenched paradise, this home is designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Step inside and let the water views captivate you from nearly every room. With almost 3,300 square feet of bright and airy living space, this home seamlessly blends comfort with coastal charm. Multiple lanais, a sparkling screened-in pool, and your private, well-protected dock create the perfect setting for soaking in the Florida sun. The spacious kitchen invites both chefs and guests to gather, while the expansive great room—featuring a wet bar, fireplace, and direct access to the waterfront—sets the stage for unforgettable moments. With four generously sized bedrooms, there’s plenty of space for family and guests.
