Water-direct Gulf access with NO BRIDGES puts the Ten Thousand Islands minutes from your own backyard. This two-story Port of the Islands home sits on an intersecting canal with a seawall, a PRIVATE BOAT LIFT and an OVERSIZED DOCK, with wide water views from the lanai, the living room and the upstairs balcony. The main level centers on an open kitchen and great room built for gathering, with a BIG ISLAND that seats a crowd, SOLID WOOD CABINETS, granite counters and stainless appliances. Sliding glass doors open to a screened lanai with room to dine outdoors and watch the boats come and go. The first-floor primary suite features a CUSTOM WALK-IN CLOSET and a bath with a jetted tub and separate walk-in shower. Upstairs, a private JUNIOR MASTER/FLEX SUITE with its own bath, a bar area and a balcony overlooking the water works as a guest retreat, game room or second primary. Three bedrooms and three full baths in total. Peace of mind is built in, with ALL IMPACT WINDOWS AND DOORS plus IMPACT KEVLAR MESH SHUTTERS on the lanai, plus a GENERATOR and BURIED PROPANE TANK. MOTORIZED BLINDS cover most of the home, closets are customized throughout, and a FULL-SIZED LAUNDRY ROOM adds everyday convenience. The attached two-car garage includes a UTILITY SINK. A mature Clusia hedge gives the yard real privacy, and there is NO HOA. Port of the Islands delivers a true boating lifestyle, with quick access to open water, fishing and the backcountry, and an easy drive to Naples and Marco Island.
