The view runs from the front door straight down the canal.
Start the day where the sun comes up, on the lanai with coffee while the light spreads over the water. The pool is heated saltwater and cleans itself, and the spill-over spa turns out to be the best seat in the house on the Fourth of July when the neighborhood fireworks go up. Wet feet never need to cross the living room. A full pool bath opens to the lanai, and there is an outdoor shower besides.
Brick and rock terraces step down to a concrete dock set on 80 feet of seawall. Bass live in this canal. Kayaks slide in right off the steps, and the freshwater chain runs out to Kennedy Lake for a slow afternoon of paddling. No lawn waits behind the house. The outdoor life here happens on pavers and at the water's edge.
Inside, 2,666 square feet under air makes this the largest waterfront pool home in its immediate market area. Four real bedrooms sit on a split plan, and the owner's suite occupies its own wing with a walk-in closet, dual sinks, a soaking tub, and a walk-around shower. The den is a proper library, shelves to the ceiling with a rolling ladder. Ten-foot ceilings and arched windows keep the rooms bright.
The kitchen has an island and a big pantry, and the breakfast bar faces the living area so the cook never leaves the conversation. The interior was professionally repainted, the owner's suite has updated flooring, and the kitchen gained a farmhouse sink along with a new dishwasher and disposal. The 98-inch television stays with the home.
