Waterfront views, a private saltwater pool, and a backyard made for lingering a little longer set the stage for this inviting home in Waters Edge Estates. Framed by palm trees and lush landscaping, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits along the Cocoplum Waterway, offering a beautiful setting that can be enjoyed from both inside and out. Inside, high ceilings and abundant natural light create an airy feel, while the split-bedroom design provides comfortable separation between the primary suite and guest rooms. The kitchen sits at the heart of the home with rich wood cabinetry, stone countertops, a breakfast bar, pantry, and generous workspace, opening to the surrounding dining and living areas. Large windows and sliding glass doors keep the pool and backyard views close at hand and make the transition to the outdoor spaces feel natural. The primary suite is a retreat of its own, with an exceptionally generous bedroom, walk-in closet, and private bath featuring dual sinks, split vanities, a garden tub, and a separate shower with multiple shower heads. Two additional bedrooms provide welcoming spaces for family and guests, with plenty of flexibility for a home office or hobby room. The outdoor spaces are where this property becomes truly memorable. An expansive covered and screened lanai provides room for dining, entertaining, or relaxing in the shade, while the private saltwater pool is ready for sunny afternoons and evening swims. Beyond the screen enclosure, the yard continues through tropical landscaping and garden spaces to 80 feet of freshwater frontage on the Cocoplum Waterway. A waterside deck tucked along the canal creates a peaceful place for morning coffee, watching wildlife, or winding down at the end of the day. The North Port location adds even more to explore, with Warm Mineral Springs Park nearby, along with Wellen Park, CoolToday Park, shopping, dining, parks, and outdoor recreation. Gulf Coast beaches are also within driving distance, giving you plenty of options when you're ready to venture beyond your own backyard. Adding both convenience and peace of mind, the home features a 3-car garage and hurricane protection throughout, with protected windows, accordion-style protection for the sliding glass doors, and additional hurricane shutters. An irrigation system, fenced yard, and storage shed round out a home with thoughtful features both inside and out.
