They don’t make them like this anymore! This waterfront/pool gem is high, dry, solid and undamaged from last 3 hurricanes. The home has had many upgrades in past few years including pool resurfacing, oversized new composite dock, new HVAC, bathroom renovations, flooring updates, interior and exterior painting, landscaping, boat lift repair, new dishwasher and refrigerator, new hot water heater. The barrell metal roof is rated for maximal hurricane winds. One of the best features is that the entire living space is flooded with natural light and 4 high end hurricane impact resistant sliders to the pool and linnai area. The water views are spectacular from every angle. The home’s open concept, soaring cathedral ceilings and split plan provides privacy and comfort with the master en suite on one end and the two other bedrooms and bathroom on the other end. The pool has its own half bath to keep the water out of the house.
