Presenting an incredible ocean view home with ample outdoor space in Mandalay Shores.  Located only 14 lots from the ocean front, the home has the ideal vantage point to enjoy beach, ocean, island and sunset views.  A private gated courtyard has lush landscaping, Saltillo tile and a beautiful fountain.  Enter the house to find two story high wood beam ceilings with many windows that allow for natural light throughout the day.  The main level has an expansive great room with a bright open kitchen, dining area and living room. Upstairs, a large family room has ocean views with a wrap-around balcony.  Above the family room is a good size bonus loft that makes a great place to work, read or enjoy the ocean and island views.   Having a living room downstairs plus a large family room upstairs provides many options for utilizing the overall living space. There are two bedrooms, with the master including an en suite bath and pretty views from French doors leading to the back garden.  A recent remodel converted the original third bedroom into a large dressing room, which could also be used as an office.  The upstairs view family room, loft and balcony were added in the early 1980s. The two bathrooms are located on the main level.  The large guest bath boasts marble floors and a skylight.  In addition to the front courtyard, the sunny backyard is hardscaped throughout and provides access to a walkway to the beach!  An extensive remodel in 2015 included new windows throughout and a smooth stucco exterior.  Other features include a tankless water heater, ample storage, tile flooring on the main level, and an attached two-car garage, with room for your beach toys!   Enjoy ocean breezes and gorgeous sunsets that make this Mandalay Shores home perfect for full-time living, weekend getaways and a lifestyle that allows for surfing at sunrise and beach walks at sunset!
