Property Description
'CURRENTLY UNDER CONTRACT, SELLER WILL CONSIDER BACKUP OFFERS' Turnkey and ready. Welcome to Dolphin Den -- a fully furnished 3BR/3BA coastal showpiece in the heart of Biltmore Beach, three blocks to sugar-white sand and 226 feet to the Dolphin Drive boat ramp. From the moment you arrive, the home's crisp white board-and-batten exterior, classic gabled roofline, and elevated wraparound deck capture the timeless Florida beach-cottage charm buyers dream about. Peek between the swaying palms and you'll catch glimpses of the bay just beyond -- your daily view from sunrise coffee to sunset cocktails. The expansive elevated deck is the heart of outdoor living here: an alfresco dining set for four, a separate lounge area with cushioned seating, a grill ready for fresh catch, and room to entertain a crowd under the Gulf Coast sky. Inside: a main-floor king primary suite with double vanities and walk-in shower, an upstairs queen retreat, and a bunk room built for the kids. Open-concept living flows out to those bay views through every window. Stainless kitchen, smart TVs in every bedroom, 58'' living room screen, and a game room with two stand-up arcades. Outside, mature palms and tropical landscaping frame a fully fenced corner lot with parking for four plus your boat, jet ski, or golf cart. Elevated construction means no flood insurance required -- along with no HOA, a 2020 roof, HVAC, and water heater, and a termite bond in place. The lower level beneath the home is plumbed and wired, ready to expand your square footage and your vision. Whether you're after a primary residence, a second home, or a proven short-term rental in one of PCB's most walkable beach neighborhoods -- Dolphin Den is the rare property that checks every box. Don't just buy a home. Buy the lifestyle.
