Welcome to exceptional waterfront living in the desirable South Gulf Cove community, positioned on a tip lot with an impressive 160 feet of intersecting canal frontage. This Mediterranean-style residence offers 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and a 3-car garage behind a remote-controlled iron gate, where a granite-floored portico and a striking 12-foot Brazilian wood arched entry door create a memorable first impression. Inside, a grand foyer showcases granite and marble flooring, crown molding, plantation shutters, and multi-level coffered ceilings accented by dramatic chandeliers. A sweeping Travertine marble circular staircase leads to an upstairs ensuite guest room with private balcony, a guest bath, and two additional guest rooms, one also featuring its own balcony. Located on the main level, the primary suite serves as a private retreat with a wet bar and beverage refrigerator, dual walk-in closets, and an ensuite bath with dual sinks, a tiled shower, and a Jacuzzi spa, while French doors open to the lanai, filling the space with natural light and water views. Canal views take center stage in the formal living room, with a French door to the lanai and a fireplace crafted from Macedonian stone. Mahogany doors open to an additional room with lanai access, ideal for guests or a home office. Designed as a true centerpiece for entertaining, the chef’s kitchen includes granite countertops, a large breakfast bar, a center island with storage, Viking appliances including a gas stove, double oven, warming drawer, full size wine refrigerator, ice maker, trash compactor, and a walk-in butler’s pantry with additional storage and a full-size refrigerator, complemented by both a casual dining nook and a formal dining room. Creating a natural connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, the family room opens directly to the lanai and pool area, where an expansive paver brick lanai invites relaxed afternoons and elegant evenings, offering multiple seating and lounging areas, a heated salt water pool and spa resurfaced in 2025, a pool bath, and sweeping panoramic views of intersecting canals. Overlooking the water, a Trex dock is equipped with both 16,000 and 10,000-pound boat lifts. From the private dock, spend leisurely afternoons cruising the winding canals or set out for full days on the water with direct access to the Gulf. Impact windows, a new roof installed in 2023, exterior paint completed the same year, two updated HVAC systems replaced in 2020 and 2025, a new washer and dryer installed in 2024, and a pool pump and heater replaced in 2025, provide added peace of mind. Conveniently located near dining, shopping, and entertainment, with easy access to Englewood Beach as well as Sarasota and Fort Myers, this exceptional waterfront estate offers a rare combination of architectural presence, expansive waterfrontage, and a private boating lifestyle designed for those who value both craftsmanship and setting.
