Welcome to a stunning coastal retreat built in 2022, where exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and true waterfront living come together to create a one-of-a-kind, resort-style home. Perfectly positioned on a deep-water canal with direct access to the Peace River, Charlotte Harbor, and the Gulf of America, this home delivers the lifestyle most only dream about. From the moment you arrive, the hip roof, Synergy wood ceilings on the front porch, and keyless entry set the tone for refined coastal elegance. Inside, soaring 12-foot ceilings in the main living areas and 10-foot ceilings in bedrooms and baths, paired with 8-foot solid core doors, create an open yet substantial feel throughout. Impact-resistant doors and windows, spray foam insulation (covering the entire home, porch, an d lanai), and energy-efficient systems ensure comfort, durability, and peace of mind. The interior is beautifully appointed with Coretec luxury vinyl plank flooring in main living areas, travertine in baths and laundry, and tray ceilings in both the great room and primary suite. The gourmet kitchen features Samsung stainless steel appliances, including an induction cooktop and oven/microwave combo, quartz countertops, 42” all-wood cabinetry with dovetail joints and soft-close doors, and a walk-in pantry with shelving and quartz counters. Floor outlets in the great room, ceiling fans in every room, and a whole-house antenna tucked into the attic add thoughtful convenience. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, offering custom his-and-her walk-in closets, a spa-inspired bath with quartzite countertops, dual vanities with outlets, an extra-large walk-in shower, and a luxurious soaking tub. Outdoor living is nothing short of spectacular. The extra-large lanai (12’8” deep x 44’ wide) features an electric sunshade, full outdoor kitchen with bar, and overlooks a heated saltwater fiberglass pool and spa with LED lighting, all controlled via app automation. A dedicated pool storage area, outdoor shower, paver pool deck, fenced yard, and side storage corral complete the space. For boating and waterfront enthusiasts, the property is unparalleled: • 12’ x 54’ composite dock with electric, water, fish cleaning station, and aluminum ladder • 10,000 lb. boat lift • 12’ x 23’ tiki hut with electric, speakers, and ceiling fans • 80’ seawall • Double kayak rack and green fishing light • Deep, 100’-wide canal with sailboat access and an easy, scenic ride to the harbor (approximately 30 minutes) Set on a quiet cul-de-sac with complete privacy in the rear, the home backs to a non-buildable preserve where wildlife abounds—eagles and countless bird species, bobcats, otters, dolphins, manatees, turtles, and more. Fishing off the dock is excellent, and the sunsets—visible just beyond the rear lanai—are absolutely breathtaking. The extra-deep three-car garage (25’4”) features 10’ insulated, impact-resistant doors, an ice maker, chest freezer, ceiling storage rack, and a hybrid hot water heater that improves energy efficiency while keeping the garage cooler in summer. A 50-amp generator hookup adds another layer of preparedness. This home was thoughtfully designed and built to feel like living on vacation every single day—a rare opportunity to own a truly exceptional waterfront residence where luxury, privacy, and adventure meet.
