Overlooking pristine Sombrero Beach, you'll enjoy the perfect vantage point for the annual Fourth of July fireworks show. Whether relaxing on the water's edge or entertaining guests, this location offers a rare combination of natural beauty, privacy, year-round coastal breezes, and one of the most sought-after views in the Florida Keys. Newer windows and doors as well as accordion shutters offer additional protection. Minimal damage in hurricane Irma. Sellers have a current flood policy that could be assumable. Property consists of two lots that were combined for tax purposes. The lots could be separated for further development.
