Welcome to this rare 2 acre waterfront paradise in South Gulf Cove! In addition to a luxuriously modern 3 bedroom pool home, this property owns 244 feet of waterfront that wraps around the canal and has two additional attached garages/workshops. The only thing better than the amazing sunset views down the long canal from the pool lanai is sitting right on the decorated 45' dock watching the fish jump, the lily pads bloom, and the glow of the under dock fish light. The dock has electric, water, and a 9,000 lb boat lift for easy boating out to the lagoon (1 bridge) and protective lock system. From there you have access to fresh water rivers, the estuary of the wide open Sound, and the salty tides of the Gulf of Mexico. A new addition to the waterfront is a brand new 30' x 50' x 12' high garage that can fit up to 8 cars/toys. There is a back driveway from it down to the canal for easy access water craft storage. Looking back at the main house you will see that in addition to a 2-car garage in the house there is an additional 2-car detached workshop, both with A/C and insulation. There is also a new 14' x 10' Tuff Shed on a concrete pad. Sitting on this pavered pool patio, you are surrounded by 2 acres of landscaped fruit trees, palm trees, woods and water. Perfect Florida paradise. And we haven't even gone inside yet! The long driveway and screened front porch welcome you to a modern updated interior, complete with plank-style luxury vinyl flooring throughout, luxury lighting, new ceiling fans, and granite countertops everywhere. High ceilings, arches and columns, plantation shutters, window seats and bay windows add elegance to every room. The huge kitchen has brand new appliances, a built in desk area, and a walk in pantry. Eat in the formal dining room overlooking the front gardens, or the dining nook overlooking the water, or the long wrap around breakfast bar. The den hosts the 8-camera security system monitor, complete with phone app, for piece of mind. The owner's wing has a large bedroom with a sitting area, a divided/shelved walk-in closet and a large bath with separate sinks and walk-in shower and its own A/C unit. The other 2 bedrooms and bath are on the other side of the house behind a pocket door for privacy with their own entrance to/from the pool area. While this home was originally built in 1994, the 2429 sq ft main house has been fully modernized in the last 4 years with too many updates to list them all. Check out the full list of updates and upgrades in the attached Special Features list. The real testament to its maintenance and care is that it survived Hurricane Ian's 155 mph winds with only minor damage (all repaired) and no water intrusion from the canal or the rains. Enjoy the peace of mind a truly tested structure will give you. Where else can you find such a beautifully modern home with additional storage and workshop buildings on such a beautiful expansive waterfront property? Come check out your new home in Paradise!
