Attention architecture enthusiasts: This midcentury modern waterfront home seamlessly blends timeless design with modern convenience. Resilient through three major storms, it sustained no damage beyond minor landscaping impacts and minimal water in the garage. Set on a lush 0.61 acre lot in the coveted Hidden Harbor neighborhood, this jungle oasis offers an unparalleled living experience. The property boasts tropical landscaping, a tranquil koi pond, and a canal front boat dock. A circular paver driveway leads to a two car attached garage, while the backyard oasis features a screened patio, multiple paver seating areas, and two upper level balconies with breathtaking long canal views. Built for durability, the home includes a buried propane tank connected to a whole house generator and an irrigation system fed by a dedicated well. Inside, the living room captivates with vaulted cypress ceilings, exposed beams, a wood burning fireplace, hardwood flooring, and double French doors that open to the patio overlooking the canal. The dining room, adjacent to the kitchen, offers hardwood flooring, sliding glass doors, and a charming chandelier. The kitchen combines functionality and elegance, featuring granite countertops, under cabinet lighting, and a reverse osmosis water filtration system. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, a spacious walk in cedar closet, and sliding glass doors opening to a balcony with sweeping canal views. The en suite bathroom features dual sinks, a soaking tub, a walk in shower, and vintage tile accents. An adjacent office/den offers built in shelving, transom windows, and access to two balconies one overlooking the canal and the other the front yard. On the main floor, the guest suite includes an 11 foot vaulted ceiling, private deck access, and an en suite bathroom. Additional spaces include a cozy family room with dual sliding glass doors to the patio and an interior atrium filled with lush plants.
