About this home
Tucked away on a quiet, picturesque street in the heart of Holmes Beach, this ELEVATED WATERFRONT retreat offers a rare private coastal sanctuary. Perfectly positioned on a sprawling 225-foot waterfront SAILBOAT-DEPTH CANAL with NO FIXED BRIDGES and DIRECT ACCESS to Bimini Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the shimmering GULF OF MEXICO. Wrapped in lush, tropical landscaping and framed by a natural mangrove shoreline, a 40+ ft TimberTech COMPOSITE DOCK stretches gracefully into the water; ready to welcome your large boat or sailboat. What sets this home apart is not just its breathtaking setting, but the peace of mind it offers. ELEVATED and STORM-TESTED, this home proudly boasts ZERO HURRICANE DAMAGE - a true rarity on the island. Built with an impressive LIST OF UPGRADES for ultimate resilience: breakaway garage walls REINFORCED with CONCRETE SUPPORTS, a 2023 standing seam ALUMINUM ROOF with underlayment that is MIAMI-DADE STANDARDS, HURRICANE-IMPACT windows and doors with UV protection, and hidden vent soffits and fascia. Step inside and feel the relaxed elegance of this coastal gem. SUNLIGHT floods through every room, dancing off the stunning plank-style porcelain tile floors and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. The OPEN CONCEPT great room flows seamlessly into a beautifully updated kitchen where your inner chef can run wild. Outfitted with rich maple cabinetry, sparkling Quartz countertops, and top-tier stainless steel appliances. The oversized walk-in pantry is perfect for keeping all your culinary essentials tucked away. The home's bathrooms echo the same attention to detail, featuring gorgeous tilework, granite countertops, upgraded Toto commodes, and brand-new copper piping and plumbing (2025). Every corner has been meticulously cared but it’s the outdoor living that truly sets this property apart. Your private backyard oasis was designed for both relaxation and unforgettable entertaining. Expansive WRAP-AROUND DECKING, crafted from premium materials and beautifully maintained, offers plenty of space to gather with family and friends. The FENCED IN DECKING also is perfect for pets to roam safely, while the CUSTOM KAYAK LAUNCH invites spontaneous paddles through the tranquil canal waters. Dreaming of a pool? APPROVED PLANS are ready and waiting to transform this outdoor space into your personal tropical paradise. Down at the dock, life slows down. Watch dolphins play, drop a line, or simply sip a cool drink as the sun melts into the Gulf horizon. The wide canal offers ample space for larger vessels - a true rarity on the island. Additional features include a spacious 3-CAR GARAGE with TWO LARGE STORAGE areas perfect for paddleboards, fishing gear, or even a golf cart. Conveniently, a 50-amp outlet has been installed for a RV, boat lift or even a hot tub. Ample guest parking is a major plus when it comes to this property and could even accommodate a RV, boat with trailer or whatever your heart desires! Plus a proactive termite protection system. Best of all?
