Description
150 Feet of OPEN Waterfront! Panoramic Views Throughout The Home! Backs to a Protected Preserve! Original Owner!
In real estate, view, and location are the two things you can never change—and this home delivers both in RARE fashion. With deep water access to both river and ocean, this one-owner residence boasts 150 feet on Sykes Creek, offering beautiful water views and daily sightings of dolphins and manatees.
Built in 2002, it stands among the youngest in the community. With over 3,000 sq ft. of living space, a 758 sq ft. 3-car garage, and a 284 sq ft. attic, there's ample space to accommodate all of your needs. Enjoy sweeping water views overlooking a preserve from your backyard, dock or second-floor balcony. The 2022 tile roof ensures durability, while expansive windows bathe the home in natural light. Thoughtfully designed by its original owner, this property has only recently become available —a truly unique opportunity to own a home PERFECTLY positioned in Sykes Cove.
