SELLER IS ACCEPTING BACK UP OFFERS...BE THE FIRST IN LINE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! For the discerning buyer seeking a very private and serene waterfront location on a saltwater canal, this beautifully updated home is the one you've been waiting for. The lush, mature landscaping on almost a half acre succeeds in nestling this elevated home inside a tropical oasis of Royal Palms, Coconut Palms, Banana trees, Areca Palms and three different Mango varieties. Intentionally designed with the main living space on the second floor, the architect made sure there would always be gorgeous, long water views down the 'Sleepy Lagoon' canal from almost every room in the house, a sense of security that comes with being elevated and an unobstructed view of manatees as they gather at the edge of your seawall. When you enter the heart of the home, you'll find incredible attention to design details including a cable wire balustrade stairway up to an open concept floor plan perfect for gatherings and modern coastal living. The color scheme is coastal neutral with a driftwood grey toned luxury vinyl plank flooring that flows seamlessly throughout the main living spaces. The kitchen is open to the two great rooms and is a chef's dream with designer euro style cabinetry, quartz waterfall counters, 48" counter-depth professional series Jenn-Air refrigerator/freezer, convection wall oven, convection microwave, 5-burner natural gas cooktop, and a deep bowl sink with high arc professional series Grohe faucet. Both great rooms have water views with one currently used as a family room and the other as a living/dining room combo with an accent wall highlighted by an architectural electric fireplace capable of lighted ambience and/or heat. Both great rooms have access via hurricane impact sliders to a waterfront/water view 47' screened deck overlooking the heated saltwater pool (40' long and suitable for lap swimming), spa, patio, fenced yard and saltwater canal lushly framed by palms and plumeria. There is a split bedroom plan on the main living level affording wonderful privacy. The water view primary bedroom has direct access to the screened deck and is ensuite with a generously sized bathroom including double bowl vanity, quartz counter, shaker style cabinetry, walk-in closet and oversized custom glass enclosed shower with handheld sprayer, rain head, and mosaic tile floor. On the other side of the home are two more bedrooms with large closets and a shared bath with quartz topped vanity and gorgeous soaking tub. For daily convenience, there are ample closet/storage spaces in this home including a walk-in pantry and upper level laundry room as well as an attached three car garage that is extra deep allowing possible tandem parking depending on the vehicle size and/or golf cart and water toy parking. Also on the ground level is an enormous bonus space with approximately 2000 SF that can be used to the delight of the Buyer. This space has direct walk out to the luxuriously sized paver pool patio with multiple seating and entertaining areas, pool, spa, fenced yard with ample space for pets, and boat dock with lift and water/electric. The home has hurricane impact windows throughout, newer dual zone HVAC, newer water heater, reverse osmosis water at the kitchen sink, irrigation system with private well, and extensive landscape lighting.
