Property Description
Inside, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and thoughtfully curated finishes create an atmosphere that is both refined and inviting. Expansive windows frame tranquil canal views, while app-controlled motorized blinds provide effortless comfort and privacy at the touch of a button.
At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is beautifully appointed with premium Monogram appliances, an induction cooktop, custom cabinetry, and an oversized island that naturally brings everyone together. The adjoining custom bar elevates every occasion, featuring rich cabinetry, a wet bar, wine cooler, ice maker, beverage refrigerator, and generous storage, all perfectly positioned to serve both the main living spaces and outdoor entertaining areas.
Whether you're working from home or simply seeking a quiet retreat, the executive office is a standout space with its coffered wood ceiling, custom built-in cabinetry, and timeless architectural detail.
Privately situated along the waterfront, the primary suite offers tranquil canal views and a concealed, remote-controlled ceiling-mounted television that lowers effortlessly. Retreat to the primary bath to experience a spa-like walk-in shower, dual vanities, a private loo, and a skylight with motorized blackout shade. A spacious walk-in closet with custom shelving completes the primary suite.
Step outside and embrace Florida's outdoor lifestyle, where the backyard becomes an extension of the home itself. Expansive travertine terraces surround the heated saltwater pool and spa, while natural gas tiki torches, covered gathering spaces, and lush tropical landscaping create an unforgettable setting for entertaining. Along the waterfront, two underwater fish lights and two fish hotels add another dimension to enjoying the canal and its marine life. The composite dock with 10,000-lb boat lift provides quick access to the Intracoastal, making spontaneous days on the water part of everyday life.
Beyond its beauty, this home was designed to provide confidence and peace of mind. Built to Miami-Dade wind standards with impact-rated windows, doors, and garage doors, it also features a whole-house natural gas generator, a tankless natural gas instant water heater, and a newly installed flood barrier system protecting every exterior door, including the garage. Icynene spray foam insulation beneath the roof helps maintain attic temperatures within approximately 10 degrees of the living space, improving the home's overall energy efficiency. The home experienced no flood damage during the 2024 hurricanes, reflecting the thoughtful planning and quality construction throughout.
Whether you're cruising to the Intracoastal, taking an evening stroll to the beach (just 330 steps away), or gathering with family and friends under the glow of the tiki torches, this is more than a beautiful waterfront home; it's a place designed to be enjoyed, shared, and lived to its fullest.
