Overview

Description

Perched at the head of a Sykes Creek inlet, this canal front property is a fanciful fusion of natural elements, sun-lit spaces & outdoor beauty! A wood-plank cathedral ceiling soars over a bright great rm w/large sliders & picture windows overlooking the pool, wide canal & boat dock. The stone floor-to-ceiling fireplace brings warmth to voluminous, open areas. A generous b-fast bar kitchen features scads of cabinets & flows into substantial dining. Epic in size, the 1st-floor owner's suite has plenty of rm for reading/exercise/media. Upstairs exhibits 2 giant bdrms, a full bath, loft w/a 'bird's eye view' of the great rm & a balcony w/vibrant vistas of the outside oasis. While interior cosmetic updates may be desired, this home boasts a NEWER roof, A/C & water heater!
