1605 Center Road, Terra Ceia, FL

Built elevated and storm-tested, this home has never flooded during Helene, Milton, or any prior storm. Set on over an acre of land backing directly onto a protected preserve, 1605 Center Road offers something increasingly rare on Florida's Gulf Coast: genuine privacy, permanent open space behind you, and the peace of mind that comes with a home built to last.This home delivers a roof  built to post-2015 requirements, hurricane impact windows and doors throughout, and elevated 2021 construction, all of which provide peace of mind.The preserve backing ensures no rear neighbors and ultimate privacy. Protected land cannot be developed, giving you a permanent green buffer and unobstructed natural views from the covered back porch, which has been roughed-in for an outdoor kitchen and designed to extend your living space outdoors, with french doors that open fully to seamlessly connect the interior to the backyard. A built-in mosquito misting system makes outdoor entertaining comfortable year-round. The acre-plus lot also offers genuine flexibility with ample space to add a swimming pool, an accessory dwelling unit, or simply room to breathe, something that is almost impossible to find at this price point.Inside, the heart of the home is a grand open-plan living space with a chef's kitchen designed for serious cooking: premium induction cooktop, double built-in ovens with convection and air-fry capability, a large walk-in pantry, and a dedicated beverage refrigerator. The layout is both elegant and practical, the generous dining space flows naturally from the kitchen, and the entire living area opens toward the preserve views beyond.The spa-inspired primary suite offers backyard preserve views, remote-controlled window coverings, double vanities, a walk-in shower, private water closet, and a spacious custom closet build-out. A split floor plan places two additional bedrooms, each featuring custom closets, on the opposite side of the home, sharing a jack-and-jill bath. A d
