Characterized by a superior standard of quality construction and attention to detail, this casually elegant elevated Key West style home can be found nestled within the heart of South Gulf Cove on a deep water sailboat canal (in highly desired section 93), just minutes from Charlotte Harbor, with the crystalline blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico just beyond. This exquisite home features everything the discerning homeowner desires: abundant privacy for owners and guests, a comfortable, inviting floor plan, and plenty of room to entertain friends and family, both indoors and out. At the heart of this impeccable home is an expansive gourmet kitchen accentuated by a professional grade dual fuel 6-burner Thermador gas range/griddle, a built-in wine cooler, a Bosch dishwasher, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator, all surrounded by solid wood cabinetry and beautifully coordinated granite countertops. The large well-appointed kitchen opens to the great room, a concept that is ideal for the South Gulf Cove lifestyle. Here, guests will appreciate authentic bamboo flooring, a built-in fireplace, and a wall of windows framing the highly coveted Southern rear exposure and the tranquil canal view out back. The nearby Master suite is a peaceful respite after a fun-filled day on the water and is highlighted by a spacious walk-in closet and beautiful custom designed sliding doors leading to the Master bath and its spa-like ambience that is complimented by a Jacuzzi tub and a shower with a tile surround. Adjacent to the great room is a ‘flex’ room that is currently utilized as a study; however, it could easily be used as a secondary Master suite with its built-in Murphy bed, private balcony, and connected full bathroom. Downstairs there is yet another private guest bedroom/studio and another full bath. Storage galore is found on this level. Here there are TWO garages, with one of them designed in tandem with room enough to park additional ‘toys’ if needed. If that’s not enough, there is a work-out area, and mere steps outside the back door, there is a hot tub just waiting for you to enjoy your soothing post-workout soak. A decorative paver path leads to the composite boat dock, boat house (with metal roof, outdoor shower, water, and electric), a 6,000 lb lift, an additional lift for watercraft, and a concrete seawall with room enough to moor your sailboat. No attention to detail has been spared in the construction of this well-built home including: 10” ICF (insulated concrete foam) exterior walls, spray foam insulation, R-19 exterior wall insulation, R-19 garage ceiling insulation, impact windows, a high efficiency AC with heat pump, a 500 gallon propane tank (to supply fireplace, hot water heater, and range), fireplace, a central vac, and a standing seam metal roof with a 50 year warranty. The home is already equipped with an elevator shaft, should an elevator be desired. The boating community of South Gulf Cove is located just a short distance to the pristine Gulf beaches of Manasota Key and Boca Grande, shopping, dining, and multiple championship golf courses.
