The versatile ground level offers an additional living room with fireplace and French doors opening to an expansive, beautifully landscaped waterfront patio. This floor also includes a private guest bedroom and bath, laundry room, and direct access to the attached two-car garage. With its own separate entrance from the canal walkway, the lower level presents exceptional flexibility as a guest suite, private office, gym, media room, or extended-stay setup. Recently upgraded with new Andersen windows and doors throughout, this exceptional residence offers a rare opportunity to enjoy elegant waterfront living in one of the area's most coveted coastal settings.
