Two Lifestyles – Intracoastal and Beach– on Summer Island Have a little time (or a lot of time) to fish? Easy! Open your back door, walk out onto your wooden dock and throw a line into the Intracoastal. Or, lower your boat from your 10, 000-pound boat lift/boathouse and take off exploring inlets as you search for snapper, seatrout and flounder in the Intracoastal, the Matanzas Inlet or the ocean. (Might want to check your crab trap on the dock while you’re out there!) Feel like kayaking or using the Jet Skis? There’s a special boat lift for them. In the mood for beach-walking and ocean-gazing? Open your front door and walk across A1A to the Summer Haven shore or drive just two miles south to the beautiful Marineland boardwalk and beach, a gorgeous landscape filled with coquina rock and colorful seaglass. Want to stay home and do some cooking? Or read on the back balcony? Relax and watch the world drift by? The views from the large second-story picture window in the kitchen resemble a perpetual, panoramic movie. You can look down into the Intracoastal and watch schools of fish, dolphin and manatee swim by. Enjoy the sight of majestic sailboats, international yachts and other watercraft heading south or north. Look across the Intracoastal river to Faver-Dykes State Park, a sanctuary for bird and animal life. Wild pigs, foxes and bald eagles sometimes visit that shore. This sun-filled, cheery beach-style home sparkles all day long, from stunning sunrises over the Atlantic Ocean to spectacular sunsets on the Intracoastal. It’s a dual lifestyle native only to Florida! Another amazing part of the easy lifestyle here? You’ll feel confident and safe during any storm. The home’s high elevation, its whole-house insurance discount due to all hurricane-proof windows and doors, built-in hurricane shutters (some electrified) on every window, and history of no water intrusion adds to its solid appeal. FIRST FLOOR: A welcoming front porch leads into two large bedrooms (one directly facing the Intracoastal), two full bathrooms and a flex room (used now as a tackle room) on the first level. The privacy – perfect for family or guests – offers doors to the ocean-side front porch or the Intracoastal covered porch, deck and dock. SECOND FLOOR: It dazzles with elevated, panoramic views on both sides! The vaulted great room features sliding glass doors to the east and west covered balconies. A spacious dining area, oversized kitchen with bead board cabinetry, and a light-filled vaulted master suite includes a private door opening onto an ocean-facing balcony. Extraordinary finishes — colorful custom art glass depicting beach life, crown molding, solid doors and oversized closets – add to the charm. Colorful native plants, many palms, a large coquina statement rock and mood lighting punctuate the landscape. Bonus amenities at Summer Island include a gated entry, community-surveillance cameras, a cottage-style clubhouse with wraparound deck, a refreshing pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and a large community dock. Your “someday” is here!
