Life feels a little easier when the water is always calling - and here, it's calling from your own backyard. This home sits on a Gulf-access canal where a quick ride brings you straight into open waters, making every day an invitation to explore. Head out at sunrise for a quiet fishing run, cruise to lunch by boat, chase dolphins along the way, or anchor at your favorite sandbar just because the day feels right. Then return home as the sky turns golden and experience our amazing sunsets. Inside, the open concept great room rises with vaulted ceilings and glass sliders stretching across the waterfront side of the home, blurring the line between indoors and out. Morning light floods the spacious kitchen, where a granite island and counter bar invite lingering conversations over coffee or cocktails, and new appliances make cooking feel effortless. There's a quiet luxury in how the spaces are arranged - the courtyard pool becomes the heart of the home, offering privacy and retreat. A separate en-suite overlooks the pool, creating the perfect haven for guests, older children, in-laws, or a dedicated office that feels tucked away yet connected. In the primary suite, two sets of sliders open to both the canal and the shimmering pool. The spa-like bath offers dual sinks, a walk-in shower, a generous soaking tub, and a private water closet. Out back, life unfolds at water's edge. An oversized lot, with concrete and wood dockage on a wide canal, provides plenty of room for outdoor living. A 10,000 lb. boat lift sits ready for your next adventure, whether it's a quiet cruise through mangroves or a day on the Gulf in open blue water. And yet, comfort lives here too - a home that's beautifully cared for with thoughtful updates: Roof (2022), New Complete AC System (2025), New Dishwasher & Disposal (2025), New Interior & Exterior Paint (2025), New Refrigerator & Range (2024), Washer & Dryer (2020). City utilities are already in place with some assessments paid. Minutes away, the future Seven Islands waterfront development, Coral Oaks Golf Course, and a wide array of shopping and dining promise a lifestyle where convenience meets coastal adventure. This is Southwest Florida living at its best - not just a home, but an invitation to slow down, spread out, entertain freely, and soak up every golden-skied day on the water.
