This retreat is the full package - and the big-ticket updates are already done. New roof, windows, ductwork, hot water heater, and septic system, plus hurricane shutters for true Florida peace of mind. A newer pole barn delivers covered RV and boat storage, workshop space, and endless potential. A non-navigable canal wraps the property, creating your own private nature sanctuary perfect for fishing and unwinding.Step inside and discover a floor plan that has grown with intention. The original character of the home remains beautifully intact, while thoughtful additions have created spaces that match the way people actually live - a massive great room perfect for gathering, a large laundry room that keeps life organized, and a flexible bonus space ready to become a 4th bedroom, a home office, or whatever your life calls for. Wander to the back and let the screened porch pull you in. Imagine evenings gathered around the large outdoor fireplace -- slow, amber-lit nights where conversations stretch long and the stars do the rest. Close enough to everything. Far enough from everyone else. This is North Merritt Island living at its most authentic.
