PRICED BELOW APPRAISED VALUE Welcome to your own slice of paradise on Cook's Bayou. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom brick home with gulf access, nestled on 5 serene acres adorned with moss draped oaks, lush herb gardens, and a private pond. Originally built in 1976 and thoughtfully renovated over the years, this 1,855 sq ft home offers a perfect blend of vintage character and modern amenities. Step inside to a light and airy interior featuring fresh paint, quartz countertops, new ceiling fans, and closet organizers throughout. The entire master bath has been fully remodeled, and the kitchen is a chef's dream with induction cooktop, double ovens with convection and air fryer modes, and like-new stainless appliances (all less than 3 years old). Rest easy knowing key upgrades have already been completed, including asbestos abatement, popcorn ceiling removal, a 2024 HVAC system, Honeywell programmable thermostat, Pristine Air UV filter, water softener system, and generator outlet for peace of mind. The home also features a 2017 metal roof, hurricane ties for wind mitigation, and a whitewashed brick exterior that adds timeless curb appeal. Outside, the upgrades continue with a solar-powered entrance gate, 12'x32' shed, motorized porch screen to fully enclose the back porch, raised metal garden beds, citrus trees, and room to expand or just enjoy the quiet of your surroundings. Boaters will love the nearly $30,000 in upgrades to the expanded dock, including a 7,000 lb. boat lift, offering seamless access to the Gulf from your backyard. And for those who like to work the land, a John Deere tractor and attachments are included with the purchase. Whether you're looking for a private waterfront homestead, a peaceful retreat, or a place to build your future, this one-of-a-kind property on Cook's Bayou has it all.
