Pull up the circular drive under century live oaks and you already know this home is different - grey stucco, black shutters, palms flanking the entry, three-car garage tucked to the side. Step through the door and soft music is already playing, calm and inviting, the kind that relaxes you instantly. The great room opens two stories overhead with skylights pouring natural light. Wide-plank floors run through to a chef’s kitchen - vaulted ceilings, dual skylights, a waterfall-edge island, and enough counter space for a real dinner party. Upstairs, the primary suite is its own retreat: a four-poster bed under vaulted ceilings, a spa bath with vaulted shiplap ceiling, a shell-tile accent wall, and a deep freestanding soaking tub. Custom craftsmanship carries through the house and a private cedar-and-glass sauna turns any night into a spa night. Out back, it’s resort living, indoors and out: a covered lounge and cabana seating tucked under the elevated screened deck, then down to the pool deck, and beyond it your own dock and boat lift on the waterway - the Inlet and moving water as the backdrop instead of a fence line. This is a house for people who want the boat, the pool, the sauna, and the two-story great room. Measurements are not guaranteed. Buyer is responsible for verifying.
