You don’t need to look farther than the backyard for crystal clear Hunter’s springs freshwater and an expanded water view with manatees as the main attraction! Check out the Bahamian vibe in the style of new lifetime warrantied windows, metal roof (5yrs) and custom slatted shutters for shade and overall cool factor. All elevated at 9.8 ft base flood elevation and there is no history of flooding to disclose. Many sunsets await viewing from the covered 10x24 back porch with an accessible ramp to ground level and out to the newly refurbished floating dock with bench box along 100ft of raised seawall. PLUS, there are no bridges between this backyard and the Gulf of Mexico! That Island vibe continues inside with the tasteful use of whitewashed and natural shiplap and wood-grained laminate floors throughout the home. A sundrenched kitchen with newer SS appliances and new ceramic tile floor that looks like a sandy beach will have you dancing barefoot in the kitchen! Careful with the knives! Super-efficient house with tankless hot water heater and two mini-split a/c units keep the electric bill in check. Spacious primary suite with two walk-in closets, step in shower with hand bars and sliding doors, dual glass bowl sinks, porthole mirrors, separate water closet all wrapped in natural shiplap. Each guest bedroom has its own unique characteristics with a walk-in closet in one and built-in storage shelves in the room used as a cozy den. Garage has 5ft high block stem walls that quickly mitigate any flood waters in the garage so that you can clean up with a simple hose down when you must. Zip around downtown in your golf cart to numerous restaurants, fresh produce and fish markets, coffee shops, sports bars and various bodegas. Multiple festivals happen throughout the year downtown. You really don’t need to look any farther, the lifestyle you want is right here!
