About This Property

If you've been searching for a well-maintained, relaxing waterfront property, look no further, this one's a true gem! From the moment you drive up the spacious paver driveway and step onto the charming walkway leading to the backyard, you'll know you've found something special. The covered, screened carport can easily accommodate two vehicles, or you can use this space as a tranquil outdoor haven, ideal for avoiding those pesky mosquitoes.

Step inside, and you'll immediately notice the care and attention to detail throughout. The kitchen showcases beautiful 42'' cabinets and stainless steel appliances, while the home itself underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2020, including new 5/8'' drywall, enhanced insulation, and stylish 5'' baseboards. Designed with accessibility in mind, the doorways have been widened, and convenient pocket doors were installed throughout. The master bedroom boasts a private slider leading directly to the screened-in back porch, where you can relax and unwind.

The master bath features a step-in tiled shower for easy access, and there's a convenient half-bath next to the guest room. For those times when you're coming back from a day of fishing or working in the yard, the den comes equipped with a handy surprise half-bath. You'll have your choice of cozying up in the formal living room or retreating to the den for some quiet time.

Step outside and explore additional spaces perfect for enjoying the beautiful Florida weather: a covered gazebo and a storage shed for your lawn equipment. For boating enthusiasts, there's a lift with an estimated 6,000 lb capacity (buyer to verify), offering easy access to the water.

This property is ideally located on a navigable canal, just minutes from Lake Okeechobee, the Lake Okeechobee Waterway Locks, and Roland Martin Marina. Whether you prefer heading east or west, you'll have endless opportunities for boating adventures.

Your landscaping will remain lush and vibrant thanks to the automatic sprinkler system. The home's metal roof offers added peace of mind during Florida's hurricane season, while the complete impact windows and doors provide an extra layer of protection. Additionally, the electrical system is wired for easy connection to a portable generator, ensuring you're prepared for any situation.

This property is truly a hidden treasure, offering both comfort and practicality. With so much to offer, you'll need to see it in person to appreciate all it has to offer. Call today to schedule your showing!
