The MOST beautiful charming cottage perched right on open water and completely redone - all damage from Ian has been professionally remediated and remodeled with no expense spared! "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" might as well have been written from this back yard! Kick back in your hammock or under the giant tiki hut and enjoy sunrises through sunsets - they are magnificent and will take your breath away! Beautifully landscaped lot with plenty of room for a pool, a boatlift already in place and a beautiful screened patio are just a few of the outdoor amenities. Step inside "MatlaShanty", and you are welcomed by a vibrant open aired floorplan with THREE spacious bedrooms, a large great room and a kitchen straight out of a magazine! Master features a very large walk in closet, the most beautiful bathroom with seaglass countertops. Everywhere you go in this beautiful historic home are one of a kind touches - a custom stained glass window, plantation shutters, beautiful wood flooring, brand new screen, EVERYTHING has been remodeled and is special in every way. Matlacha is a beautiful fishing/art village and you can walk everywhere! TURN KEY, just bring your toothbrush!
Stunning, beautifully restored Matlacha cottage truly feels like an upscale resort. Gorgeous pine hardwood floors are the perfect complement to the muted coastal colors and open concept of this inviting home. The third bedroom currently functions as an office but would be a perfect child or guest bedroom. The master bath has just been renovated with a classic tile shower and accompanying fixtures. Note that the huge master walk-in closet encompasses the laundry at one end----a unique and practical design. While the interior of the home is "ooh" and "ahhh"-worthy, the outside spaces will take your breath away! There is plenty of room for a pool to complement the fully permitted and structurally accurate Tiki bar along with the custom, historically-accurate screened porch with stunning wood ceiling detail. The private boat lift allows for quick access to the local islands like Sanibel, Captiva, Cayo Costa and Cabbage Key among others. For nature, fishing and kayaking, you're free to explore the 190 mile Great Calusa Blueway Paddling Trail nearly at your back door. Walk to the artsy galleries in Matlacha and the wonderful restaurants that serve up the freshest catch daily!
