Overlooking Rock Harbor Creek, this home offers a front row seat to the continuous, ever-changing show of nature within a marsh. Osprey, blue heron and snowy egrets are among the many stars that grace this tidal scene--viewed from the wrap around deck, family room, dining room and primary suite. Set above the reaches of high tide, this 2 bedroom home lives larger with finished spaces in the walk-out lower level. Outdoor living areas include a Koi pond and hot tub. Any cosmetic improvements are sure to enhance the value of this property--this home is all about the location.
