Welcome to your dream home in the tranquil waterfront community of St. James City. Perfectly situated along a wide canal with direct Gulf access in under five minutes, this two-story coastal retreat offers the ultimate Southwest Florida lifestyle. Whether you're boating to the Gulf, kayaking through mangroves, or cruising to the vibrant eateries on nearby Matlacha Island, this location is a true boater’s paradise.
This beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home also includes a large upstairs den/office that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom or family room. Inside, the home is warm and inviting with soaring vaulted ceilings accented by wood beams, creating a spacious and open feel. The kitchen is a chef’s delight, offering granite countertops, a breakfast bar, modern appliances, and abundant cabinet space. The adjacent living and dining area makes entertaining seamless, whether you're hosting guests or enjoying quiet nights at home.
One of the standout features is the expansive wall of sliding glass doors that fully open to a large screened-in porch—an ideal place to sip your morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day while overlooking the peaceful water. Just beyond is an entertainer’s dream backyard, featuring a composite deck, concrete patio, private dock with seawall, and your very own boat lift. Dolphins and manatees are known to frequent this canal, and you can cast a line and catch dinner without ever leaving your backyard.
The spacious primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a spa-like bath with double vessel sinks, a luxurious shower tower, and a walk-in closet with custom built-in shelving. The guest bedrooms are generous in size and provide privacy and comfort for family or visitors. Upstairs, the oversized den/office is filled with natural light and endless possibilities—it could be a second living area, a media room, a playroom, or an additional bedroom. On the main level, you'll find a unique and versatile additional bonus space currently used as a wine room and laundry area, with direct access to the rear patio—perfect for entertaining or relaxing, and offering additional flexibility as a hobby room or even a tucked-away workspace.
The home also includes impact-resistant windows and a new metal roof, offering peace of mind and long-term durability. The oversized two-car garage provides ample space for storage or workshop needs. Best of all, the low-maintenance shell rock yard means no grass to mow, giving you more time to enjoy the lifestyle this home offers.
With its unbeatable location, flexible layout, and beautifully designed outdoor living areas, this home is a rare gem that perfectly blends luxury, comfort, and waterfront living. There are some "smart" features in this home: garage door, fridge, thermostat, washer and dryer.
