Description
Experience peaceful, laid-back island living with quick direct Gulf access to open water. This bright and spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers an open living area that flows seamlessly to a large heated pool and screened lanai overlooking the covered boat lift and dock. Southern exposure provides all-day sun on the pool, making outdoor living especially enjoyable. The interior has been freshly painted and extensively updated. Major improvements include a new roof with architectural shingles, new soffits and gutters, a new HVAC system with ductwork, and a whole-house air filtration system (2023). The kitchen features all-new cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers and new Samsung appliances, along with custom wall bar and illuminated display cabinetry. Additional upgrades include a rebuilt ceiling lighting system with puck lights, a custom entertainment/display wall unit, and a custom closet in the primary bedroom. Outdoor enhancements include a re-screened pool cage with No-See-Um screening and modified picture window screening, a sealed and resurfaced pool with new tile décor, a new pool pump, and a front door with impact glass. Low-maintenance landscaping and improved drainage add to both curb appeal and functionality. For added peace of mind, the property includes a 2025 Flood Prevention System designed to keep exterior water out of the home, along with a septic pipe flap to help prevent interior water intrusion.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNot a very good school. The student experience is overwhelmingly boring, and many teachers are awful. There are a few great, caring teachers, but they are entirely overshadowed by the bad ones. The school has almost no electives that aren't art classes, and they are taught by teachers who don't care.Student Review5y ago - Pine Island Elementary School
