Welcome to 14523 Barlow Ln in Hudson, a beautifully updated 3-bedroom + additional room, 3-bath elevated waterfront home on a spacious 0.40-acre lot along a wide canal with direct Gulf access. Panoramic water views, a resort-style pool and spa, private dock, expansive outdoor living, and a multi-level layout create an inviting Florida lifestyle. From the moment you step inside, the water draws your attention through the home. Warm wood-tone luxury vinyl flooring flows throughout the main living areas, while the updated kitchen features extended quartz countertops, white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a built-in wine rack, breakfast bar, and pantry. The kitchen opens naturally to the dining and living spaces, where full-height sliding glass doors frame views of the pool, dock, and canal and lead to the elevated wraparound deck. The spacious living area centers around a stone-faced fireplace with built-in shelving, creating a warm gathering space. Also on the main level, a versatile additional room with Murphy bed can serve as a home office, hobby room, or guest space, while an updated full bathroom and dedicated laundry area add convenience. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a waterfront retreat, with floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing views of the pool and water, double glass doors opening to a new private upper-level deck, a large walk-in closet, and a remodeled ensuite with glass-enclosed walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms and an updated full bathroom complete the upper level. Outside, the new resort-style pool and attached spa are surrounded by approximately 3,000 square feet of travertine decking, creating an expansive setting for entertaining and relaxing. Fountains, water features, built-in lighting, in-pool tables, and a sun shelf add even more ways to enjoy the pool. Beyond the travertine, a large maintained lawn provides additional outdoor space. Beneath the elevated home, a generous covered area offers shaded space beside the pool, with flexible areas for storage, a workshop, hobbies, or recreation. A 12x20 storage shed provides additional room for outdoor equipment. Follow the travertine toward the water to the private dock with new decking, where the wide canal offers open views and direct Gulf access. Water and electrical piping are already in place for a future boat lift and water connection. Aluminum fencing surrounds the property with an electric gate and oversized sliding gate for larger equipment and trailers. Additional improvements include a new roof, new stairs, updated flooring, remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, tankless water heater, water softener, new electrical subpanel, spray-foam insulation, mosquito spray system, security system, Ring doorbell, and cameras. With no HOA and Hudson Beach nearby, enjoy easy access to marinas, waterfront dining, nightlife, and local coastal amenities. At 14523 Barlow Ln, waterfront living extends well beyond the view.
