Paradise Found on Wide Waterfront. A rare & privileged offering awaits in the heart of Stuart—celebrated as The Happiest Seaside Village & The Sailfish Capital of the World. Poised on a high-elevation lot w/sweeping wide-water views of the St. Lucie River, this exceptional residence is tucked away on a secluded private road shared by only five waterfront estates. The seller notes that no flood insurance is required—an extraordinary advantage along the Florida coast. Set on more than one-third of an acre, the property presents a tranquil, park-like setting beneath the shade of majestic trees & surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. Direct ocean access invites endless boating adventures, while serene vistas unfold across the wide river. Constructed of solid concrete block w/poured concrete. The home has been entirely reimagined to the highest standards and now lives as new just 18 months since the completion of a full transformation. A new roof, PGT impact glass windows and doors, chef's kitchen, spa-inspired baths, and stainless-steel appliances offer effortless modern living within a timeless coastal framework. The single-level, two-bedroom, two-bath residence showcases warm wood flooring throughout, expansive bedrooms capable of accommodating king-size living, and an inviting interior flooded with natural light. With city sewer connection and room to expand, the property offers exceptional potential for those seeking a legacy waterfront estate. A boater's dream, the residence affords ample dockage for a large yacht and is equipped with a 12,000-lb lift for an additional vessel. By land, the home is equally convenient just minutes to boutique shops, fine dining, and the historic riverfront boardwalk of downtown Stuart. Stuart's enduring appeal lies in its character: a low-density seaside town with a strict four-story height limit, abundant parks, and some of Florida's most celebrated beaches from Bathtub Reef to the House of Refuge. Cultural treasures, including the Elliott Museum and the Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center, enrich the community's vibrant coastal lifestyle. Offering the perfect union of privacy, convenience, and refined waterfront living, this property stands as an extraordinary retreat in one of Florida's most cherished seaside enclaves.
