Welcome to Paradise! If you have been searching for a perfectly maintained waterfront home which is updated and has a private pool, you can relax and move right in. Boasting water views from almost every room in the house, this adorable cottage will check all your boxes. Some of the newer upgrades include the following: New Bronze Fortified Roof, HVAC replaced within the last 5 years, new kitchen cabinets with soft close doors and new granite tops, new stainless appliances, new ceramic tile in main living areas, new carpet in bedrooms, fresh paint, new pool liner within the last 2 years and replaced decks and stairs on the exterior. The high-end replacement windows are vinyl double hung, and rated to withstand 155 mile per hour winds. Both the top and bottom sashes can be tilted into the home for cleaning both sides. The open and airy floor plan has plenty of windows so it is bright and light inside. You can get cozy by the stacked stone gas fireplace on cool evenings. By day you can relax, nap and birdwatch on the private master screened in porch or sunbathe on the front sun-deck. The downstairs has a lovely seating area with ample parking and storage space. A pier in the back yard overlooking the lagoon is shared by three neighbors. For energy efficiency, the floor has been insulated and a plywood ceiling installed in the downstairs. The stairs going up are surprisingly easy, due to the fact that the risers are shorter than normal. The home is two blocks away from the gulf beach access. This is in an area zoned for short term rentals. Whether you are looking for a home or investment, this property is a must see opportunity!
