Positioned on a prime half-acre corner lot at the entrance of the private, gated Intracoastal Waterway community of Harbour Watch, this custom-built, 4-bedroom residence commands an authoritative presence. Framed by mature, towering oak trees and an iconic wrap-around front porch, this home balances classic coastal architecture with modern updates. The main level is designed around a functional, open flow that makes hosting effortless. An expansive living room seamlessly transitions into a formal dining room anchored by a custom propane fireplace. The living spaces open directly to an enclosed lanai under a statement chandelier - creating a private, light-filled sanctuary that overlooks the large backyard that is shaded by mature trees. The highly functional kitchen is curated with solid granite countertops, premium cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a sunlit bay-window breakfast nook. For maximum convenience, the primary bedroom suite is located on the main floor. This private first-floor retreat features oversized crown molding, fresh paint, a soaking tub, a multi-sprayer tile shower, and a custom walk-in closet with an encased Liberty wall safe. A second main-level bedroom and updated full bath offer perfect flexibility for guests or a home office. Upstairs, the home expands beautifully to reveal a massive media great room, a large secondary suite with a modern barn-door entry, and an independent bonus room equipped with its own mini-split heating and cooling system. The defining asset of this property is the complete peace of mind it offers. The current owners have already taken care of the most expensive maintenance items, including a new roof with an ice and water barrier (2023), new custom Carolina shutters (2023), premium flooring updates across both levels, and a brand-new hot water heater (2026). Outside, the park-like backyard features the custom pergola deck and a beautiful, fully enclosed gazebo equipped with windows, a door, and dedicated electricity. This unique structure offers an exceptional opportunity to create your own private getaway - whether utilized as an art studio, a quiet home office, or a future pool house for grounds already verified to accommodate a private pool. Residents of Harbour watch also enjoy exclusive access to the community's private walking path leading straight to the Intracoastal Waterway.
