Southeast Boca Raton, located between Downtown Boca Raton and the Atlantic Ocean, is a coastal and residential Boca Raton neighborhood with palm-lined streets and low-rise waterfront scenery. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Mizner Park, where sidewalk dining, galleries, and polished storefronts set a social, walkable rhythm. Architectural cues lean Mediterranean Revival and contemporary townhomes, with pockets of canal-front homes near the Intracoastal Waterway. Cultural touchstones include the Boca Raton Museum of Art and the Mizner Park Amphitheater for exhibitions and outdoor performances. Spanish River Park and South Beach Park frame the shoreline with dunes, picnic areas, and wide sand. The Boca Raton Resort & Club adds a landmark silhouette along the water.

Enjoy indoor/outdoor living at its finest! A custom-designed tropical outdoor sanctuary focused on the waterfront vistas is the focal point of this home. A spacious newly refinished salt water pool, custom composite dock, tranquil Koi pond, and large tiki hut with full summer kitchen and bar/kegerator make for the perfect spot to relax after a day on the waterway. This updated home is as impressive inside as the custom backyard oasis. An open concept living room flows directly to the light-filled dining space. The kitchen features smart appliances that can be operated through a phone and a convenient eat-in peninsula. The two bedrooms are designed in a split-floor plan to offer maximum privacy for all. In the primary suite, an ensuite bathroom with modern finishes awaits. The second bedroom is generous in size and across from the second full modern bathroom. Throughout the home, many 'smart' features enhance the living experience including all custom lighting, electronic blinds, and security features. Additional benefits of this home are the newer AC, all impact-resistant windows and doors, a newer marble driveway, and a one-car garage. Located near the heart of Boca Raton, Mizner Park is just a few minute's drive offering restaurants and shopping, with the beach a short bike ride away as well.
