Exceptionally charming ground level and *above flood* 3/2 home in one of Islamorada's most beloved Plantation Key neighborhoods - nestled on an oversized lot which was made private, lush and magical by mature tropical landscaping, professionally designed and installed. This coastal cottage is built to last - made of concrete with a 2019 metal roof. It has a classic layout that's easy to love. Enter through the inviting living room with T&G ceilings, wainscoting, a decorative fireplace and built-in reading nook. Through every window, the views are of greenery swaying in the wind. You'll fall in love on the spot. The primary bedroom and adjacent bath sit on the east side of the home, while two guest bedrooms and a full bath are on the opposite side of the house. Pass through the living room to the spacious kitchen with brand new matching stainless appliances. You'll appreciate the abundant storage and a large built in work space. The dining area overlooks a huge screened patio with views out to more of that spectacular garden. Venture outside to vibrant tropical landscaping and thoughtfully placed hard scapes. Dreamy outdoor shower with endless hot water. The indoor and outdoor spaces are perfect for entertaining friends and relaxing. RV hookup. Convenient Old Road access is perfect for cycling, walking the dog and running - plus allows homeowners to navigate the area with ease even on holiday weekends. You'll have a nearby place to drop your boat in the water no matter which way the wind is blowing. An ocean-side boat ramp is only a block away, and just across the highway you'll find a bay-side boat ramp at Founders Park's full service marina. Being close enough to walk will make the pool, tennis, dog park and festivals at Founders Park even more fun. Reasonable insurances. Room for a pool.
