Restored Coastal Cottage located directly on Dona Bay with spectacular views of the Bay, Snake Island and Mangrove Island. Dona Bay is a popular spot for kayaking, sailing, manatee and dolphin observing, or fishing off the dock for redfish and snook. Ernest Hemingway would have loved this Key West style home with impressive dockage complete with two 10,000 lb boat lifts and only a short three minute idle and no bridges to the Gulf. Originally built in the 1950s this home is everything but old. Vaulted ceilings in living room with wood burning fireplace, large foyer/den area. Enlarged family room and breakfast area. Features include a second-floor master suite with extra-large bath, walk-in shower and claw tub, walk-in closet and a lovely balcony overlooking the Bay. The kitchen is brand new in 2018 with wonderful cabinetry in cream with quartz countertops, state-of-the-art appliances, including induction cook-top, all with views of the pool area and the Bay. There are a spacious Laundry and craft room with loads of cabinetry adjacent to the kitchen. Tranquil pool area surrounded by pavers, with a large covered lanai perfect for relaxing and dining. Additional lower level air-conditioned storage, perfect for an exercise room. Landscaped in a Florida tropical style with mature palms and birds of paradise. The shell rock drive completes the natural setting.
