Description
Nestled in the serene neighborhood of Sykes Cove on Merritt Island, this canal-front pool home offers an idyllic blend of comfort and adventure. The backyard opens to a private dock, where a pontoon boat awaits, ready to take you out to the Indian River, Banana River, or even the Atlantic Ocean. The sparkling heated pool and spa are accented with a pavered deck surrounded by tropical landscaping, creating a personal paradise. Inside, panoramic windows let in natural light, offering views of the canal from the spacious living areas. This 3051 SQFT home is designed with an open-concept layout, perfect for entertaining or relaxing after a day on the water. One bedroom has its own bathroom within and can be a guest suite. This home is equipped with a Generac propane generator, storm shutters, and custom electric shutters for the rear of the home for storm protection. Whether you're fishing, boating, or just soaking in a sunset by the pool, this home is a waterfront dream come true!
