Perfect Opportunity to Customize a Well Built Matlacha Home! This home sits on 100ft of deep-water Gulf access and is the second home from Matlacha Pass which provides open water views! Matlacha is a waterman’s paradise surrounded by world class fishing, pristine beaches, abundant native wildlife and offers access to the Great Calusa Blueway Kayak Trail. Everything Matlacha has to offer, including restaurants and shops, is just a short walk or bike ride away. This open floor plan 3-bedroom 2 bath home is ready for you to personalize but is loaded with tons of upgrades to build upon! As soon as you walk into the home you are met with a panoramic water view through the 20ft of impact sliding doors that line the back of the expansive great room area which is the central hub of the home. There are impact windows and doors throughout this home. The large open kitchen is ready for you to customize and also offers views of the canal and Matlacha Pass. The master suite offers a water view and features a walk-in closet and an oversize jacuzzi. Your guests will be spoiled when they visit with the spa like guest bath that features a Koehler steam shower! The steam shower has beautiful tile work, glass doors as well as a natural green beach pebble floor. The interior of this home includes a large laundry area and a finished garage that the owner used for a recording studio. They always say they don’t build them like they used to and that definitely applies to this home! The roof structure is over-built with plank construction instead of plywood which makes it incredibly strong. A new water barrier and tile roof was installed in 2014 offering many years of roof life (Typical tile roof life is 40-50 years). Third nail was installed to help with insurance discounts as well. The roof has weathered multiple storms with no issues. The outside spaces of this home really make it something special! The screened pool area is the perfect place to take in the beauty of Matlacha, including breath taking sunrises and sunsets or dolphins and manatees that cruise by daily. The pool has been renovated with new tiles, a pebbletech surface and is a heated saltwater system. The pool enclosure has also been updated and features a travertine pool deck. The almost 900 sqft dock is a fisherman’s dream featuring a dual cable 10k covered boat lift complete with remote (cover is currently being stored in the shed). The property itself features lush tropical landscaping including your own mango tree, a custom fence for privacy, a Tuff shed for extra storage and black river stone accents throughout. As a HUGE bonus a Generac Generator has been installed with a 600-gallon propane tank. Home features 2 AC systems as well, one for the main home and one for the finished garage (currently detached).
