5204 dogwood dell street

Welcome to Crane Hammock, one of Marathon's most sought-after neighborhoods, where residents enjoy a private community beach, boat ramp, and first-come dock slips -- launch your boat and keep it in the water just down the street, then rinse off at your own enclosed outdoor shower after a day on the flats. All the perks of waterfront living without the waterfront price tag or insurance premiums. This meticulously maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home was built in 2012 and sits high on 10-foot pilings, above base flood elevation, with impact-resistant windows throughout -- a smart, insurable Keys home in today's market. Spend your afternoons at the heated fiberglass pool in the fully fenced, private backyard, set on an oversized corner lot framed by mature native landscaping: coral trees, pigeon plum, Jamaican caper, paradise tree, banana trees, and thriving orchids. Inside, the updated kitchen features quartz countertops, a brick backsplash, filtered drinking water at the sink, and newer LG appliances, while the custom live-edge cedar bar top makes the living space perfect for entertaining. A split-bedroom floor plan with walk-in closet adds privacy, and the retractable Sunbrella awning extends your covered porch living outdoors. Downstairs is an angler's dream: fillet table, bait freezer, outdoor refrigerator with ice maker, kayak racks, custom fishing rod holders, and two storage sheds -- plus covered parking for 4+ vehicles with room for the boat and RV. Recent updates include a new entry door (2026), new AC (inside unit 2026, outside 2018), new dishwasher (2025), and updated pool filter, heater, and pump (2024-2026). Freshly painted inside and out and professionally serviced monthly, this home proved itself as a successful vacation rental before the owners loved it so much they made it their full-time residence. Pride of ownership shows everywhere; truly turn-key and ready for its next chapter.
