Under contract-accepting backup offers. Waterfront living—thoughtfully designed and ideally positioned. Located in the northern section of South Gulf Cove, this beautifully maintained three-bedroom, two-bath waterfront home offers no fixed bridges, quick access to the lock, and approximately ten minutes to Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf. With approximately seventy-five feet of concrete seawall, a 30-foot composite dock equipped with 50amp shore power + a regular 110 service and water capable of accommodating a 45ft yacht plus a 6,500-lb covered boat lift, this setup is designed for real-world boating. Inside, the home features a warm Southwest and Mediterranean-inspired aesthetic paired with a functional, open layout. Double entry doors lead into a vaulted great room where full-length sliders bring in natural light and create a seamless connection to the outdoors. A wood-burning fireplace adds character and comfort, while a flexible adjacent space works well as a home office or formal dining area. The kitchen is both practical and inviting, offering water views, a breakfast bar, and a bright dining area that opens directly to the lanai—ideal for everyday living or entertaining. The primary suite is spacious and well-appointed, featuring a tray ceiling, lanai access, a large walk-in closet, and an en suite bath with soaking tub and walk-in Roman shower. Outdoor living is where this home truly shines. The covered lanai with exposed beams provides an ideal space to relax or entertain, while the stand-alone hot tub offers a private place to unwind. The home was intentionally designed without a pool to keep maintenance low; however, a reinforced stem wall is already in place should a future owner choose to add one. Additional highlights include a new hot water heater (2024), 4-ton 17-SEER A/C system (2023), a recently cleaned tile roof, generous garage storage, attic space, and low-maintenance landscaping with no lawn to mow.
