Description

This stunning Key Largo retreat sits on an oversized lot with 75 feet of waterfront, offering the perfect blend of space, style, and functionality. With four bedrooms, three baths, and soaring ceilings, this nearly 3,000-square-foot residence is designed for both comfort and entertaining. Step outside to enjoy the sparkling 13'x30' pool featuring a sun shelf and cascading water features—just one of many outdoor entertainment areas. Whether you're launching a kayak or paddleboard from your private dock or utilizing the 15,000-pound boat lift, you're set for endless days on the water. Have a larger boat? No worries—just south of the property, a spacious turning basin makes maneuvering a breeze. Inside, the upper level boasts three bedrooms, two of which serve as primary suites. The open-concept living and kitchen area, flooded with natural light, leads to a large balcony overlooking the pool and canal—perfect for outdoor dining and sunset views. Ocean and bay access couldn't be easier, with Adam's Cut just to the north, ensuring quick passage for all your nautical adventures. This move-in-ready home is packed with valuable upgrades, including a new AC unit, newer roof, modern appliances, updated electrical and plumbing, plus impact windows and doors for peace of mind. Additional perks include washer/dryer sets upstairs and downstairs, solar panels to offset electric costs, a paved driveway, abundant storage, a covered bar area by the pool, and lush, mature landscaping for added privacy. A rare waterfront gem—don't miss the chance to make it yours! *Original home built in the 60's but the Effective Year Built is 2018 when the home was completely remodeled and updated.
