Summary:
Luxury Waterfront Home with Private Pool
The Space:
3-Story Waterfront Retreat w/ Pool & Sunset Views
You have finally found your waterfront retreat!
Wake up to water on three sides. Perched on a private point with sweeping open-bay views, this elevated coastal home pairs easy Florida living with serious waterfront amenities — a pool right at the seawall and a private dock just steps from the door. Sip coffee on a covered balcony, paddle out before breakfast, swim laps with a horizon view, then watch the sky change over the water at sunset.
Sleeps 10 across 2,500 sq ft, with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms — bright, airy living spaces and that unmistakable salt-air, toes-in-the-water feeling from the moment you arrive.
Ground level A showstopping mixed-use room with a wood-plank ceiling opens through French doors to the waterfront — a relaxed lounge with a grand piano and a wet bar, perfect for evenings in. The first bedroom is also on this level, featuring a Murphy bed and an en-suite bathroom with a tub/shower combo.
Second level Step up to the heart of the home, where all the main living areas come together. The open great room and kitchen flow straight out to the water. The kitchen is built for real cooking and easy entertaining — granite counters, plenty of cabinet space, a Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator, a gas range, and a breakfast nook framed by water views. Gather around the island, spread out in the living room with the sliders open, or dine with the bay as your backdrop.
The second bedroom is also located on this level featuring a Queen size bed. There is a full bathroom located on the second level.
Top floor The remaining bedrooms are upstairs — calm and coastal, several with their own water views and private balcony access, plus a serene primary suite. Multiple full bathrooms mean no one's waiting in line.
The primary bedroom features a King bed, an en-suite bathroom with a shower, and access to the waterfront balcony.
The fourth bedroom features 2 Twin beds and access to the waterfront balcony.
The fifth bedroom features a Queen bed.
A hallway bathroom offers a tub/shower combo.
