Supplements: This luxury home is located in the premier waterfront neighborhood of Venetian Shores on Plantation Key in the Upper Florida Keys, about 1 hour south of Miami Airport. Venetian Shores offers the best big boat dockage and boating access in the Keys. This spacious luxury home was updated and expanded in 2008 to include an elevator which rises from the ground floor foyer up to the main living room and then up again to the private master suite on the top floor. There is also a new HVAC three-zone system (2013), new paver drive, a 10,000 lb. boat lift, and a gourmet kitchen with gas range. The unique custom pool overlooks the canal with a spa hidden in a curved rock wall behind a waterfall on one end and a trickling stream on the other. The pool equipment includes a newer pool heater with staged motors, a multi-color LED lighting system and Zodiac programming for the Jandy pool system which can be controlled via iPhone. Next to the pool is a poolside room with a full bath and steam shower to wash up after boating, fishing or swimming. The room is also great for relaxing poolside in the shade or storing pool toys and boating gear. This spacious home offers more than 5,000 square feet when you include the breezy wrap-around porches, screen porch, downstairs guest quarters and attached garage. The ground floor space is permitted, above flood level with the FEMA letter and certificate on file. All permits are closed and the sewer is connected. There are also security cameras for remote monitoring of your island home while you are away. Call today!
