About this property

Welcome to this fully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront home offering 87 feet of canal frontage and zero bridges to the open sea. Enjoy true ocean access and added peace of mind with a 9-foot elevation. As you arrive, you’ll immediately notice the meticulously maintained landscaping, tranquil water fountain, and quiet street setting. Additional highlights include ample parking, designer exterior paint, a 2-car garage, updated windows, and a newer roof—all contributing to exceptional curb appeal. Inside, the open floor plan features polished terrazzo flooring throughout most of the home, fresh interior paint, and stunning water views. The chef’s kitchen is equipped with newer stainless steel appliances, including a professional gas range with air fryer, sleek cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a large center island offering generous seating and storage. The spacious family room showcases the home’s best views and provides an ideal setting for entertaining. A large bonus flex space with a private exterior entrance—not included in the official square footage—offers excellent potential for expanded living, office, or guest space. A second full bathroom, refreshed in recent years, adds convenience. Including the garage and enclosed bonus space, the property offers 1,674 total square feet. The primary bedroom is privately situated at the rear of the home with breathtaking water views. The en-suite bath features designer tile, shiplap accents, a spacious shower, and quartz countertops. The second bedroom is generously sized, includes built-in cabinetry, and overlooks the peaceful front yard. Step outside and experience the true highlight of this property. In 2024, a new raised seawall with span beam for a future pool, a 13,000-lb Deco boat lift with remote, and an updated dock with electric and lighting were completed. (See photos for pool renderings.) A large deck provides the perfect space for gatherings, while lush landscaping creates a private, resort-like atmosphere. Additional features include a white vinyl fence with double gate and storage sheds. Recent upgrades include a high-end tankless water heater (2024), roof and electrical panel replacement (2020), and a new air conditioner (2017). Relax with your favorite beverage as dolphins, manatees, and stingrays pass by. Walk or bike to the footbridge at the end of the street leading to the pet-friendly Rio Vista Park and Riviera Bay Park. This is a rare opportunity to own turnkey ocean-access waterfront with no bridges, backing to nature. Grab your flip-flops and start living the waterfront lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of.
