This home features a breathtaking view with direct access to the water - surrounded by marsh on two sides, you will never lose your view or privacy.  Spend your afternoons watching the river otter and birds catch fish or join in and catch your own blue crab and redfish.  With over half an acre of property plus surrounding nature preserve, you can hardly believe this piece of paradise is a quick 5 minute drive to Vilano Beach and the heart of downtown.  Boasting over 3,000 square feet of bright, airy interior plus a two car garage, you will have no trouble with storage. Inside, the owners wanted a grand presence and elected for almost every upgrade including beautiful large custom entryway listello, extra tall estate doors, higher ceilings both upstairs and down, large diagonal-laid tile throughout the downstairs, a chef's kitchen with extra tall cabinetry featuring double-crown moulding, glass doors, plus interior and under-cabinet lighting!  There is a lot of flexible space with both a family and formal living rooms, dining room, and spacious loft.  Upstairs two of the bedrooms are adjoined with Jack and Jill style bathroom plus an additional guest bedroom with ensuite bathroom.   As nice as it is inside, this property is all about enjoying the outdoors with an double-sized lanai, hidden brick patio complete with a fire-pit, and a short manicured path to the kayak launch and fishing spot.  No other house in the city-limits has this kind of view, amenities, or land at this price.  Photos and words don't do it justice, this is a place you need to experience!
