Situated in the sought-after FloraMar subdivision within the Gulf Harbors community, this 1,912 sq ft, block-constructed home, built in 1982, boasts a pool and spa separately heated with WiFi automation, 3-bedroom split floor plan plus a den, 2 baths, and a 2-car garage. The seller’s pride of ownership and attention to detail are evident from the moment you arrive. From the landscaping, textured circular drive, and freshly painted exterior (2024) to the oversized dock (new decking in 2024), a second Trex floating dock (2020), and a recently rescreened patio and pool area perfect for peaceful sunrises and sunset cookouts and entertaining.

The heart of the home—the kitchen—features brand new stainless appliances (2024), recessed lighting, an oversized counter-height bar island with ample cabinet storage, granite countertops, and sophisticated solid cherry wood cabinets. The charming breakfast nook provides a serene view of the home’s pool and wide-open canal. The spacious living room includes a concealed fireplace, a dining area that offers extensive natural light from the wall of sliding glass doors, and a second seating area. On a cool autumn evening, the excellent cross ventilation of the gulf breeze via the screen enclosed front door and open sliders brings the living area and pool deck together as one space. The split floor plan’s primary bedroom plus a den boasts wood-grain tile flooring, multiple windows, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath with a glass-enclosed shower and dual sink vanity.
