Freshly painted inside and out in 2024—including all windows, doors, and trim—it radiates a crisp, contemporary appeal. New exterior lighting enhances the home’s sophisticated aesthetic. Ensuring peace of mind, all windows, as well as the living and dining room doors, were replaced in 2024 with PGT Hurricane Impact models. The heart of this home, the kitchen, was tastefully redesigned in 2023. It boasts rich wooden cabinetry, gleaming quartz countertops, a classic white subway tile backsplash, and a suite of brand-new appliances. Overlooking the family room and the shimmering Intracoastal, it’s a perfect blend of style and function. Throughout the home, new luxury vinyl flooring extends a refined yet durable finish, complemented by an elegantly remodeled half-bath on the first floor. Upstairs, the master and guest bathrooms have undergone stunning transformations. The master suite now features dual sinks with additional cabinetry and storage, while the guest bath echoes the same modern sophistication. A dedicated laundry closet with stackable washer and dryer (new in 2021) adds to the home’s convenience. The master suite also offers a private balcony, an intimate retreat with breathtaking water views. For boating enthusiasts, this property is a true gem—direct access to the Intracoastal with a private 10,000 lb. boat lift (controller replaced in 2024) makes every day on the water effortless. The home’s south-facing orientation ensures abundant sunshine, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Significant enhancements in 2024 include a BASF high-traffic coating on the flat roof (10-year protection), waterproof Gemstone coating on the first-floor patio, and a complete rebuild of the second-floor balcony, finished with a Gemstone floor coating in March 2025. Additionally, the AC unit (2020) and water heater (2021) offer modern efficiency. Further elevating the lifestyle, this residence includes a three-car garage for ample parking and storage. New landscaping is in the process of being installed as well. As a bonus, the association pool is conveniently located just next door.
