Property Description

Old Florida Charm Meets Modern Waterfront Luxury! Nestled along the tranquil waters of Shell Creek, with direct access to the Peace River and the Gulf; this spectacular waterfront retreat offers approximately 200 feet of waterfrontage, breathtaking views, and an extraordinary indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Completely remodeled from top to bottom, this home effortlessly blends coastal charm with sophisticated modern upgrades. From the moment you approach the inviting front pergola, you'll appreciate the attention to detail and quality craftsmanship throughout. Step inside to discover a stunning designer kitchen featuring exquisite Palisander Blue quartz countertops, custom cabinetry with soft-close doors and beautiful finishes completed in 2024. Additional improvements include a new Rheem A/C system and water heater in 2024, a durable metal roof, and a 2023 reroof of the rear flat-roof section, including the lanai. Designed to maximize comfort and waterfront views, the light-filled primary suite offers picturesque views of the water, an Luxurious Custom walk-in closet, and a completely reimagined ensuite bathroom featuring a gorgeous custom-tiled walk-in shower. The desirable split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy for guests, with two additional bedrooms and a beautifully remodeled guest bathroom. Just beyond the kitchen, an enchanting enclosed den showcases three walls of windows overlooking the water complemented by a charming tongue-and-groove ceiling. It's the perfect setting for morning coffee, peaceful afternoons, or simply soaking in the natural beauty of your waterfront surroundings. Updated interior doors with fresh interior paint add to the home's move-in-ready appeal. But the true showstopper awaits outdoors! Experience the magic of waterfront living with an expansive seawall and an incredible outdoor entertaining oasis. The sellers invested nearly $50,000 creating a spectacular waterfront retreat featuring a new pressure-treated wood deck, a charming thatched tiki-style roof, a custom floating bench with fire pit, with approximately $5,000 in custom handrails. A private dock offers exciting possibilities for boating enthusiasts, with the potential to add a boat lift. Whether you're entertaining beneath the tiki roof, enjoying a sunset by the fire, or setting out to explore Shell Creek and the Peace River, every day feels like a vacation! Additional features include a 2 garage, and a spacious 15' x 20' bonus room offering incredible flexibility for a future fitness studio, game room, hobby space, or additional retreat with the installation of a mini-split A/C system. Your waterfront paradise awaits!
