Inside, the light and airy floor plan was designed to embrace coastal living with soaring ceilings, walls of windows, architectural details throughout, and seamless indoor-outdoor spaces. The stunning kitchen is perfect for gathering and entertaining, featuring a massive island with prep sink and seating, granite countertops, solid wood cabinetry, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, wine fridge, and a large walk-in pantry. The open living and dining areas center around a cozy wood-burning fireplace and flow effortlessly to the screened waterfront lanai.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
