The home offers four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, finished with designer touches throughout, and every inch reflects the scope of the 2024 transformation—nearly $450,000 in renovations creating a true turnkey setting. Outside, the lake takes center stage, delivering breathtaking sunrise and sunset views that shift with the day. For boaters, the setting reads like a private escape, where mornings begin on the water and evenings settle into the calm of the shoreline.

Beyond the gated entry, a circular drive winds through Majestic Oaks, magnolias, pines, and azaleas to a quality-built waterfront residence where quiet feels immediate. Inside, the home has been lovingly updated and maintained, from crown molding to garage storage, with spacious rooms, modern lighting and fixtures, and customized closets. Brand-new, storm-rated windows span the Intercoastal Waterway/Sound side, delivering sweeping views; every window was replaced in 2025 with Impact Low E glass. Outdoors, the veranda is set up for true open-air living with a gas grill, Blackstone griddle, and Ooni pizza oven, plus panoramic outlooks toward the Sound and the undeveloped Santa Rosa Islands, with peeks of the Gulf. Along the water, a new seawall and refreshed dock—complete with covered boat lift, jet ski lift, and water and electric—make days on the bay effortless. Flood Zone X adds welcome peace of mind.
