Hidden Gem Riverfront Cottage with Sunset Views – Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this charming one-bedroom cottage in sought-after Harbor Oaks is a true hidden gem. The owners plan to convert part of the spacious living room back into a second bedroom, adding even more potential to this delightful home. Originally built in 1952 with solid concrete block construction, the home was once a three-bedroom layout but has since been converted into a spacious one-bedroom retreat, creating a larger living area. The property sits on a deep lot, offering ample space for outdoor activities. With a dock right on the water, you can enjoy direct access to Rose Bay, where you’ll have stunning sunset views and the chance to observe abundant wildlife like birds, manatees, and dolphins. You can even fish right from your own dock. For boaters, this property is just minutes to the Intracoastal Waterway and close to the inlet. The property also features a large studio with its own porch, perfect for creative pursuits, entertaining, or simply enjoying the view. The peaceful surroundings make it an ideal getaway or retirement home, while the location offers easy access to everything you need. It’s totally hidden yet close to shopping, dining, and all the amenities this area has to offer, making it the perfect combination of privacy and convenience. Enjoy walks in the great neighborhood and be surrounded by nature, all while knowing you’re just minutes away from everything that makes this area so special. Don’t miss the chance to own this one-of-a-kind waterfront property
