Island living at its finest! Tucked away on an expansive 3-lot corner property in the heart of Cedar Key, this beautifully renovated home offers a rare combination of space, charm, and modern upgrades—all on high ground that has never flooded and has NEVER experienced any hurricane damage, providing exceptional peace of mind. Completely rebuilt down to the studs in 2015–2016, this home was thoughtfully updated with quality and efficiency in mind. Improvements include a thick-gauge metal roof, new subfloor where needed, updated electrical and plumbing, new windows, upgraded attic insulation, a new water heater, quartz countertops, durable flooring throughout, and efficient mini-split systems for heating and cooling. In addition, the entire exterior of the home was professionally sprayed with closed-cell foam insulation, taking energy efficiency to another level by helping regulate interior temperatures, reducing moisture intrusion, and significantly lowering utility costs. Inside, the open and airy living space lives larger than expected, flowing seamlessly into an updated kitchen designed for both beauty and function. Custom cabinetry with soft-close doors and pull-out shelves maximizes every inch of storage, while sleek quartz counters add a polished touch. An electric fireplace creates cozy ambiance on cooler evenings. The primary suite features a private full bath and sliding doors leading to a screened porch, the perfect spot to relax with morning coffee or enjoy island breezes. A guest bath includes a stacked washer and dryer, conveniently included. Additional highlights include easy attic access with pull-down stairs for abundant storage and a fully fenced yard with plenty of room for pets, gardening, or outdoor enjoyment. Outdoor living shines with a paver patio and fire pit, carport, parking on both the front and side of the lot, and a shed ideal for a workshop or storing fishing and water gear. The home comes with an impressive list of included items: all appliances, washer and dryer, outdoor furniture, electric fireplace, TV stand, kayaks and kayak trailer, shed, and glider on the back porch. Furniture is negotiable, making this a near-turnkey opportunity. The oversized lot configuration may allow for an additional home to be built—buyers are encouraged to confirm possibilities with the City of Cedar Key Building and Zoning Department. Ideally located within an easy walk to restaurants, shopping, the marina, art co-ops, and just steps from one of the island's best restaurants, this property is perfectly suited as a fishing getaway, weekend retreat, income-producing rental, or full-time residence. Beautifully maintained and truly one-of-a-kind, Sandy Palms offers comfort, efficiency, and island charm you won't find elsewhere. NOTE: DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE STREET VIEW!! THE HOME AND STREETS LOOK VERY DIFFERENT IN PERSON. THE STREET VIEW IS VERY OUTDATED.

Want a fixer upper in Cedar Key? Downtown area cracker home needs TLC & some tools. Good elevation on these lots, a new home would need to be elevated just 4-6 feet to meet code and to have a view of the back bayou's teeming wild life. Great location just 4-6 blocks to everything. Sold as is. Large corner lot with nice trees, completely fenced. Room for a garage or workshop. You CAN have it ALL. Just cleared, you can see the palm trees and plan for your hammock. Three and 1/2 city lots allows for additional home. Plenty of room, make it YOURS
