Cool, calm, coastal ~ This beautiful and spacious island-inspired home is located in the prestigious beach community of Gulf Ridge East. Enjoy a day at the beach and later relax by your pool in a very private tropical setting. This home has a wonderful floor plan with over 3000 living sf, a split bedroom plan with a large living and dining area looking out to the elevated, screened pool. In addition, the great room features a gorgeous coral stone fireplace and wet bar off the kitchen along with a more casual dining area where family and friends will gather. There is a 4th bedroom with a closet, murphy bed and desk that can function beautifully as a dressing room or den. The covered lanai area surrounding the pool provides exceptional entertaining and lounging area – you will live out here. Plenty of storage room below for bikes, beach toys and crafts and a 2 car plus tandem bay garage. Ian entered the unfinished lower level and did minor damage to the living quarters. A new metal roof and a long list of improvements in the past few years include a new kitchen and master bath, guest bath renovations, impact windows on the front of the home, fresh paint, new front doors and an elevator lift at the entry. The landscape and irrigation have been re-done. The Gulf Ridge Community is beautifully landscaped throughout and has community pools and tennis along with multiple deeded beach access points and kayak launch. Walking paths to the enormouus natural beach at each end and golf cart and walking path in the middle.
