Property Description
Embrace the laid-back elegance of island life in this beautifully updated 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath cottage, ideally situated just one row from the beach in Boca Grande's historic village. Sunlight fills the home, highlighting timeless details such as crown molding, plantation shutters, and beautiful hardwood floors that flow through the main living areas. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring KitchenAid appliances, solid wood soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a farmhouse sink. The primary suite serves as a serene retreat with a full ensuite bath offering dual sinks, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and a frameless glass shower. Downstairs, new tile flooring enhances the spacious ground level, which includes a secondary living area, two guest bedrooms, and a beautifully finished full bath with a glass-enclosed shower, perfect for hosting family and friends. Step outside to a screened lanai overlooking the heated pool, surrounded by mature landscaping and a fully fenced yard for privacy. Paver pathways lead to a generous golf cart garage, large enough for both parking and storage. There is also a private outdoor shower, perfect after a day at the beach. Recent updates include a new pool pump, pool heater, washer, and dryer. The home also features durable HardiePlank siding, a standing seam metal roof, and low-maintenance Apex decking for added peace of mind and longevity. Located on historic Whiskey Row with convenient off-street parking, this cottage perfectly blends privacy, convenience, and the quintessential Boca Grande lifestyle - timeless, relaxed, and effortlessly refined.
