Guests will appreciate the oversized dock with boat lift, heated pool, smart open concept floor plan, and multiple waterfront patios that this house boasts. In addition, this waterfront home features multiple oversized bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and an expansive living area perfect for accommodating larger groups of guests. The Space: Dockside Retreat features three bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The three bedrooms are situated across two living levels, with two bedrooms located on the first floor and the primary bedroom encompassing the entire second floor. The primary bedroom also features en-suite access to an expansive patio overlooking the canal with sunrise views. The primary bedroom features a king bed, flat screen TV, and large walk in closet. It features an en-suite bathroom with an oversized jacuzzi tub, walk in shower, and a dual vanity setup. The first guest bedroom features a king bed and its own en-suite bathroom with single vanity and shower/tub combo. The second guest bedroom features a twin over twin bunk bed and enjoys access to a hallway bathroom with single vanity and shower/tub combo. Both bedrooms and bathrooms are located on the first floor, adjacent to the living room. There are two small sets of stairs within the home, one with five steps which leads from the entryway into the living room and the second with approximately ten steps which leads from the living area to the primary bedroom. There is a garage located adjacent to the entryway and just past the garage guests will appreciate the entertainment/bonus room, which features a large quartz countertop bar and flat screen TV, with it's own sliding door leading to the backyard area. This room is perfect for watching sports or simply unwinding with a beer of your choice. Just beyond the backyard area is the dock, which provides guests direct gulf access by boat if they are so inclined. Fishing off the dock is great (Snook and Tarpon commonly frequent the canal) and the idle from the dock to San Carlos Bay is just a matter of minutes.
