WATERFRONT LUXURY W/90 FT SEAWALL, QUICK SAIL ACCESS & WIDE CANAL VIEW - This custom home by West Coast Builders features 3 beds/3 baths + media room/den & delivers a timeless design, high-end finishes, plus an enviable boating location. Positioned on a wide canal with 90 feet of seawall, the property offers direct sailboat access to Charlotte Harbor via Ponce Inlet or Tarpon Inlet Canal allowing you to reach open water in mere minutes either way.

A sun-inspired coffered ceiling, gas fireplace flanked by custom built-ins, and a wall of disappearing sliders frame the canal view and extend the living space to the lanai. A wet bar with dual wine/beverage refrigerators makes entertaining effortless.
