TURNKEY FURNISHED GULF ACCESS POOL HOME in the highly desirable South Gulf Cove - this is the boater's lifestyle done right. Set on an extra-wide canal with ONLY ONE BRIDGE standing between you and open water, this property delivers quick, effortless access to the lagoon and the Gulf beyond. Bring your boat and your big plans - the 8' x 71' private dock, covered 16,000 lb lift, and solid seawall are already in place, making this a true boater's paradise. Inside, the home opens up to a bright, airy floor plan designed for easy coastal living and entertaining. The kitchen shines with updated stainless steel appliances (2022), Corian countertops, and a stylish tile backsplash, flowing seamlessly into the main living areas. Every detail supports peace of mind and low-maintenance living, including hurricane protection throughout, a newer roof (2022), A/C (2021), and water heater (2018). Fresh interior paint gives the home a crisp, move-in-ready feel. Out back is where Florida living really comes to life - a recently resurfaced heated pool and expansive screened lanai create the perfect setting for relaxing after a day on the water or hosting sunset gatherings. Lush, Florida-friendly landscaping surrounds the home, complete with lime, lemon, and avocado trees, all maintained by a cost-saving irrigation system on a private well. Located in an X500 flood zone (optional flood insurance) within the waterfront community of South Gulf Cove, you'll enjoy access to 55 miles of navigable canals, a public boat ramp, parks, and a clubhouse with year-round activities.
