**MAJOR PRICE IMPROVEMENT**PLEASE ENJOY THE 3D INTERACTIVE VIRTUAL TOUR ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LISTING – SPECTACULAR Wide River View! Situated on approximately ~.42 acres, with ~167 feet of concrete seawall along the pristine Peace River, is the location of this ~3,238 square foot saltwater pool home. Built strong in 1998 and completely reimagined in a contemporary coastal look, this one-of-a-kind residence is feature-rich and offers a myriad of quality updates. The wide water views are enjoyed from almost every room, but none more so than the enormous great room and open custom kitchen. These rooms, through their vast custom floor-to-ceiling sliding glass walls, have a distracting view of the waterway. Awash with natural light, the great room has cathedral ceilings and a skylight. The open gourmet kitchen has more than ample hardwood, soft-close cabinetry, and granite counters with a tastefully coordinated backsplash. This chef's dream is equipped with high-end appliances, including a GE Advantium wall oven and a Wolf gas cooktop! Measuring approximately 840 square feet in size, the primary ensuite bedroom, conveniently located away from the main living area for added privacy, is an oasis unto itself. It includes a generously sized office/retreat area with direct access to the screened pool enclosure, two sizable and fully equipped walk-in closets, and a truly alluring bath, which features twin floating vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. Perfectly situated to enjoy the remarkable sunsets over the Peace River from this location is the fabulous ~1200 square foot screened pool enclosure, 390 square feet of which is under-roof. Features include a saltwater pool, paver-stone decking, and shower. This space is accessible from the great room, pool bath, one of the two guest rooms, and the primary suite. In addition to the recent major renovation of the kitchen, primary bath, and laundry room, a few of the numerous features include, but are not limited to, a new dockage system with water and electrical services, a mix of ceramic and porcelain flooring throughout, freshly painted inside and out, many smart-home features (including lighting) and great room automated rolldown blinds system. The home enjoys impact windows and doors throughout, a $75,000 landscape investment, and a recently re-certified metal roof. A full list of recent improvements and updates is available.
