The upper level features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with an open-concept layout and water views from both the living area and bedrooms, while the lower level offers a separate 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom for added flexibility. Built for peace of mind with concrete construction, a concrete roof, and impact windows and doors, the property includes a 12,000-lb boat lift and floating dock, making time on the water seamless. Located in Boatman's Colony, a primarily waterfront neighborhood off the Old Highway, the setting blends privacy with convenience--easy walking or biking to schools, local markets, and dining. Waterfront dining favorites like Lido's and Mar Bar are just beyond the dock. Set on an almost 10,000 sq ft lot, the property offers room to create an outdoor oasis, including space for a pool, in one of the Upper Keys' most desirable boating locations. A rare opportunity combining solid construction, exceptional access, and lifestyle. Buyer to verify all facts.
