There's a reason homes like this tend to linger in memory. Featured in NICHE's signature series, From The Porch, in 2021, this canal front residence captures the quiet cadence of life along Eastern Lake, where mornings begin on the dock, afternoons drift between the pool and shaded gazebo and evenings stretch easily toward the nearby beach.

Set within a friendly neighborhood just a short stroll or bike ride from two public beach access points, the home offers a rare pairing of lakefront living and coastal convenience. A private newly built dock invites paddleboards, kayaks and early casts, while the heated pool and spillover spa create a backyard designed for long, unhurried days. The curtained gazebo, outdoor shower and generous entertaining areas complete a setting that feels both relaxed and considered.

Inside, the layout is designed for gathering without sacrificing space or privacy. The owners elevator access connects the two levels, where expansive living areas unfold on each floor. The first level includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a bunk room that accommodates five, and a secondary living area with a kitchenette, all opening directly onto the covered porch and pool deck. Thoughtful storage throughout, including two single garages built to house watercraft, beach gear and a golf cart, or a car if you wish, adds a practical layer to the home's design.

Upstairs, hardwood floors carry through a bright, open-concept living and dining space anchored by a generously scaled kitchen. Outfitted with a GE Monogram range complete with grill and griddle, a commercial-grade ice maker and extensive cabinetry topped with Quartz, the kitchen is built for both everyday use and larger gatherings. Three additional bedrooms are positioned on this level, while the balcony frames tranquil views across the pool and palms toward Eastern Lake.

Professionally decorated and meticulously maintained, the home is offered fully furnished with appliances and televisions included. Recent updates, such as two new A/C units and Rinnai tankless water heaters, enhance comfort and efficiency. Whether envisioned as a second home or a high-performing vacation rental, this property delivers a compelling combination of lifestyle and versatility, all within easy reach of local favorites, nearby dining and the ever-changing beauty of the lake and gulf just beyond.
