WATERFRONT CANAL HOME is Back on the Market…Buyer lost his job. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath waterfront home will not disappoint. The charm begins at the front porch, offering a warm welcome and a hint of what lies inside. The half bath conveniently rests on the lower level, while a granite-tiled kitchen boasts a gas stove and eat-in dining area that looks out to the expansive backyard to the canal. Watch the sunrise from the back porch or unwind in the hot tub by the Competitive TOP OF THE LINE Endless Swimming Pool with a brand-new liner. A Rinnai tankless water heater, heats the pool, ensuring efficiency. Inside, the family room features 24ft. high ceilings and a gas fireplace with push-button remote control for cozy evenings. Hardwood floors grace the living spaces, and a TV in the family room is yours to enjoy. The downstairs master bedroom offers a walk-in closet and a recently updated quartz bathroom with a walk-in shower and hot tub access. Upstairs, find new carpet, dual-vanity bathrooms with hidden storage rooms, and a separate A/C unit for added comfort. A wrapped-around porch, new roof in 2021, and a detached over-sized garage plus the thoughtful details throughout make this house a home. The dock has the pilings, it just needs the decking replaced which can be done with a much simpler process than building a whole new dock. Come and see the house you will call home!

Residential uses within the MDR district are limited to single-family and two-family dwellings. The district allows non-residential uses that are compatible with suburban and urban residential neighborhoods.
