Located within a highly desirable gated coastal community, this never-rented residence offers privacy, security, and immediate beach access. Just steps from the sand via private boardwalk, the home is surrounded by nature, bike paths, and a variety of daytime amenities that consistently attract second-home buyers and vacation renters alike. Originally remodeled by Solburg in 2002, the interior features 10-foot ceilings, 8-foot Andersen doors, oak hardwood flooring, custom built-ins, and Gulf views from every room. The layout is functional and well-designed for both personal enjoyment and strong rental performance. The kitchen includes granite countertops, a spacious breakfast bar, Sub-Zero appliances, wine cooler, built-in cabinetry, and a generous utility room - offering the space and flow today's vacation guests seek. The primary suite includes granite flooring, a Jacuzzi tub, steam shower, and glass block shower with built-in bench. An upstairs bedroom provides added privacy, with windows positioned for cross ventilation, along with a full bath and walk-in closet - an ideal configuration for maximizing occupancy and guest comfort. Outdoor living features a sundeck, private boardwalk to the beach, two-car garage, irrigation system, and mature landscaping. Importantly, the property has never been placed in a rental program, leaving significant upside potential. With strong demand for gated, beach-access homes in this community, a buyer has the opportunity to generate substantial short-term rental income while retaining personal use flexibility. For those seeking a coastal retreat with proven market appeal and income-producing capability, this property presents a compelling opportunity.
