Description
This tastefully renovated 3-4 bedroom home offers a rare combination of charm, functionality, and lifestyle. Located in the highly sought-after waterfront community of Old Chimney, the property includes an assigned 38′ boat slip–perfect for boating enthusiasts. The home features an additional 900 sq ft of heated and cooled living space on the ground level (not included in the listed square footage), currently used as a fitness area, workshop, and full bath/laundry room–ideal for flexible use. (See floor plan for details.) Set on nearly an acre, the property is graced with mature oaks, tall pines, and palm trees, all providing serene views of the Intracoastal Waterway. Inside, the open-concept living spaces are enhanced by soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, and the inviting screened porch offers seamless indoor/outdoor living and stunning nature views.
