This one-of-a-kind stilt home is surrounded by mature Oak and Palm trees, giving the feeling of seclusion in a tropical paradise. Climb the steps to the private wrap around deck with gorgeous views of the Alafia River. With the essence of traditional Key West homes, the front door opens to the living room with charming built-ins and ample light streaming in from the sliding glass doors. To the rear of the house, another set of sliders located in the dining room offer a spectacular view of the Alafia beyond the rear deck, which is spacious enough for entertaining. The step-saver kitchen offers easy access to the dining room and the closet pantry, situated next to an inside laundry room. The home has a total of three cozy bedrooms with two full bathrooms. At the end of the hall, the master bedroom beckons you with its views of the wooded front lawn, and a large balcony overlooking the circular driveway, making it the perfect place for curling up with your favorite book, or to simply enjoy your morning coffee with a view. Below the house is an oversized carport, suitable for ample parking spaces for those backyard barbecues; because you are sure to invite everyone to enjoy the view. A deck over the water’s edge allows you a closer look, and a shady place to sit and enjoy the serenity of the peaceful river.
