Welcome to your private waterfront retreat—this beautifully decorated 3 bedroom, 3 bath home offers the ultimate Florida lifestyle. Enjoy complete privacy with protected mangroves across the canal, so you’ll never look into your neighbors’ backyard.

Fish right from your backyard, where dolphins and manatees are frequently spotted from the 124 ft seawall.

This exceptional property combines comfort, privacy, and waterfront living—move right in and start enjoying the lifestyle immediately.
