Description
If you've been searching for the Florida lifestyle without sacrificing space, storage, or freedom, this is the one. Perfect for boaters, RV owners, hobbyists, and anyone tired of HOA restrictions, this beautifully updated home offers a rare combination of modern upgrades, resort-style outdoor living, and room to spread out on a spacious half-acre lot. Welcome to your own private slice of Florida living, where thoughtful updates, exceptional outdoor space, and room for all your toys come together with no HOA.
This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a desirable split floor plan designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining, with nearly every major component already upgraded for true move-in-ready peace of mind. At the heart of the home, the fully renovated kitchen features granite countertops, soft-close cabinetry, and a complete suite of new appliances, while both the primary and guest bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled with granite vanities, updated cabinetry, and beautifully finished showers. Fresh interior and exterior paint and abundant natural light create a clean, modern feel throughout.
Step outside to the showstopping 40' x 35' screened lanai where the resurfaced pool and expansive pool deck provide the perfect backdrop for year-round Florida living. Whether hosting friends, enjoying family weekends, or simply unwinding after a day on the water, this outdoor living space is designed to be enjoyed in every season. The electric pool heater extends your swimming season, while the newly installed vinyl privacy fence creates a secluded backyard retreat.
Beyond the attached two-car garage, the impressive 544-square-foot detached garage offers endless flexibility for hobbyists, car enthusiasts, workshop space, or additional storage. Complete with electric service, spray foam insulation, storm tie-downs, and RV parking alongside an extended driveway, there's ample room for boats, trailers, campers, and recreational vehicles alike. Equally impressive are the extensive mechanical and efficiency upgrades, including an owned solar system, newer roof, HVAC system with upgraded ductwork, water heater, pool pump, owned water softener system, accordion shutters, impact-rated front entry and garage window, and gutters—allowing the next owner to enjoy the home rather than plan for costly improvements.
Perfectly positioned just minutes from everyday conveniences, you'll enjoy quick access to shopping, restaurants, waterfront dining, riverfront parks, public boat ramps, and the Indian River Lagoon, while Florida's beautiful Atlantic beaches and the renowned Sebastian Inlet are only a short drive away. Combining modern updates, exceptional storage, room to spread out, and the laid-back coastal lifestyle so many relocate to Florida to find, this property offers the rare opportunity to simply move in and start enjoying everything the Treasure Coast has to offer.
