This beautifully designed 5-bedroom, 3-bath canal-front home offers the perfect blend of functionality, character, and coastal living. Situated on a canal with a boat lift–without the need to pass under the PKS bridge–it’s ideal for effortless boating access. Inside, the home features exposed solid wood beams throughout, including a stunning two-story focal point in the main living area, complemented by high ceilings and an open, airy layout. Thick, solid construction ensures both quiet comfort and energy efficiency, while deep-set windows enhance the home’s architectural charm. Warm, cohesive wood elements flow throughout, creating a unique, non-cookie-cutter feel, with custom butcher block countertops in the bathrooms and downstairs areas, tongue-and-groove wood ceilings in the laundry room and primary bath, and shiplap accents in multiple bedrooms. The spacious primary suite includes a large walk-in closet with a window and an additional lockable closet for secure storage, while several bedrooms feature oversized closets–one even offering two. For added comfort and peace of mind this home offers a whole house generator. A large walk-out flex space on the first floor is perfect for entertaining, and outside, a generous deck thoughtfully incorporates a preserved oak tree into its design. The expansive backyard offers endless potential for outdoor living. Residents also enjoy access to nearby ocean- and sound-front parks, a convenient boat ramp, beautiful beaches, and picnic areas, making this home a rare and inviting waterfront retreat with exceptional coastal amenities.
