A TRUE, TROPICAL PARADISE - no expense has been spared in creating this unique, Caribbean Island vibe in the Lower Keys. The 15,000 sq. ft. property offers 150 ft. of canal frontage; over 7,000 sq. ft. is fully fenced and landscaped for maximum privacy in the pool area. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath CBS home is built like a fortress with poured concrete floors, impact-resistant windows and doors, and a new, 24-gauge standing seam metal roof. Storage is a premium in the Keys, so it's easy to appreciate the fully enclosed lower level that offers a generous 1898 sq. ft. of storage and garage space. More than 50 mature, established tropical plants surround the in-ground, heated, saltwater pool and 1100 sq. ft. concrete deck. Underwater LED lights create a magical effect in the evening if desired, and the custom-designed sail structures provide shade from our Keys sun. A 400 sq. ft. tiki is the ultimate entertaining area for family and friends. 75 ft. of concrete dockage is equipped with aluminum/rubber boat bumpers, davits, and a step-down dock area where it's easy to access a kayak or paddle board. Entering the interior you'll find a split bedroom floor plan, cypress cathedral ceiling, 40'' stainless steel hood over the propane stove, and so much more. The 5-ton central air system plus 4 strategically placed mini-split A/C units make it easy to control cooling and heating for each person's comfort. This is truly an exceptional property in the Lower Keys where the key deer roam and life takes on a slower pace.
