Charming beach bungalow, designed in a tropical Key West motif. This home is the 3rd door back from Blind Pass waterway seawall. Extensive landscaping in front and luxuriant tropical foliage around the large patio and deck in the backyard provides the perfect setting for maximum enjoyment of the kidney shaped pool. There is plenty of parking with long circular and side driveways to park cars and your boat. As you enter the front door you will be struck by the amount of light that fills this home. This is a split bedroom home with master suite and en-suite bath including a jetted tub with hand held shower, a walk-in closet, and a pool view and direct pool access through a wall of high impact windows and door. This owner prefers to use the Master as a Guest Suite. When not set up for guests enjoyment the master is used as a third living area. The other two bedrooms share a bathroom with a walk in shower and custom sink and cabinets. The living room and dining room share access to the pool area. The kitchen features wood cabinets with reconfigurable shelves to maximize storage space according to any changing needs. The unique and colorful kitchen countertop is Vetrazzo, which is recycled glass in concrete. Kitchen appliances consist of white double oven stove, large refrigerator and dishwasher to complement the Key West vibe. There is a large great room with a full beach mural, vaulted beamed ceiling and tongue and groove panels. The laundry room and garage (which has been converted into a work room, storage area and pet condo) top off the heated square feet. A screened in porch is accessible from the laundry room.
