Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to a place where every day feels intentionally slower, where sunsets paint the sky, water glimmers in the distance, and nature wraps around you like a private retreat. Set on over half an acre, this elevated coastal home offers breathtaking sunsets and tranquil water views, creating a peaceful, park-like setting that’s rare to find so close to town. Mature native landscaping, citrus trees, and open green space surround this fenced property, offering privacy, shade, and a true Old Florida feel. The main living level features a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom split floor plan, designed for easy, comfortable living. You will appreciate the generous living spaces all having easy care flooring, so you can spend your time enjoying life and not cleaning. Downstairs, a ground-level bonus room provides endless flexibility, ideal for a home office, gym, storage, or creative space tailored to your lifestyle. The pool area offers a huge screened lanai with a large covered area, the perfect spot for morning coffee, evening wine, or entertaining friends as the sun dips over the water. Adding to the charm is a separate artist studio, once the working studio of renowned local artist James Sears — a truly special feature that adds history, character, and inspiration to the property. Outdoor living shines here with a heated saltwater pool, outdoor shower, chickie hut with ample room for RV or boat parking, making it easy to embrace the coastal lifestyle. Whether you’re hosting gatherings, enjoying quiet evenings, or heading out on the water, this home supports it all. A new roof, elevated construction, and thoughtful design provide peace of mind, while the location puts you just minutes from the shops, dining, and energy of Dearborn Street, and steps from Lemon Bay Park, offering trails, kayaking, and natural beauty right outside your door. This isn’t just a home, it’s a lifestyle rooted in creativity, connection, and coastal living.
