Custom-built by renowned McHugh Porter Builders and thoughtfully designed by historic preservation architect Henry Browne, this exceptional 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath waterfront residence blends timeless coastal architecture with modern comfort in the heart of Boca Grande’s historic district. Perfectly positioned on a no-bridge boating canal, the home offers direct water access and an effortless island lifestyle. Inside, warm yellow pine floors, soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, and abundant natural light create an inviting yet refined atmosphere. The open-concept kitchen flows seamlessly into spacious living and dining areas, while an expansive waterfront porch provides the ideal setting for entertaining or enjoying tranquil canal views. The first floor features a luxurious primary suite and private guest suite for convenient single-level living. In 2011, the home was thoughtfully expanded to include two additional guest bedrooms and a generous loft-style family room with a full bath, offering flexible space for family and visitors alike. Exterior highlights include low-maintenance Xeriscape landscaping, durable Hardiplank siding, and a 2022 metal roof for lasting peace of mind. Completing the property is a private dock with a 10,000-pound boat lift, making this an outstanding opportunity for boating enthusiasts seeking historic charm, quality craftsmanship, and exceptional waterfront living in Boca Grande.
