The heart of the home, this space is framed by large windows and offers breathtaking views of the sparkling canal. Triple sliding doors lead you to the upper lanai, a perfect spot to enjoy those warm Florida evenings while watching the sunset.
Down the hallway, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, one with its own private en-suite bathroom, making it ideal as a secondary master or guest suite. The master bedroom, located on the third floor, offers a luxurious retreat with stunning panoramic views of Manatee Bay. Wake up to water views and step onto your private balcony to sip your morning coffee. The master bath is equally impressive, with a large walk-in shower, a relaxing garden tub, and ample space to unwind after a long day.
This home is not just about indoor living--it's about embracing the outdoors too. Step outside to discover a fantastic outdoor living area featuring a beautiful pool that overlooks the canal.
