Additional premium upgrades include a whole-home Generac generator and a Rinnai tankless water heater. Waterfront enthusiasts will love the private dock equipped with electric and water, a boat lift, and an existing second dock that is eligible for repair with county approval, making it ideal for jet skis or an additional boat lift. A dedicated fish cleaning station with storage cabinet adds even more convenience. Additional outdoor storage includes a shed for lawn equipment, landscaping tools, and boating supplies. This one-of-a-kind waterfront property combines luxury, functionality, and an unbeatable location.
