Nestled on the gorgeous Vina Del Mar Island, also known as "Wine of the Sea," this property is just a short bridge away from historic Pass-A-Grille Beach. Perfectly positioned at the peninsula point to maximize both privacy and breathtaking water views, it features a brand new 2024 composite dock and 15,000-pound boat lift, making it a dream for water lovers. One of the unique features of this island is that there is no overhead wiring, enhancing the unobstructed views and peaceful atmosphere. A travertine paved driveway with space for multiple cars and lush tropical landscaping welcomes you home. Inside, this 2,354-square-foot residence features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two-car garage. Step into the foyer, where you'll find a large dining room off the kitchen, easily adaptable as a second living space. Take note of the Mediterranean-style arched doorways, Spanish red terracotta tile flooring, and LED up-lit crown molding. This home exudes charm and personality, with many notable upgrades, including a 2019 tankless water heater, a 2022 whole-house water filtration system, water softener, and instant hot water in the kitchen. The show stopping kitchen was designed for entertaining, featuring a large wraparound bar with barstool seating, granite countertops, solid cherry wood cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and a convenient island prep center with a gas range. High end appliances include double wall ovens and a warming drawer, all complemented by beautiful water views. Adjacent to the kitchen, near the sliding glass doors, is a well appointed wet bar with a sink, space for a wine or mini fridge, and additional cabinetry to store your refreshment essentials. This home features a split floor plan, with three bedrooms, one currently set up as an office with built-in shelving, and a full bathroom on one end, while the owner's suite is situated on the other for added privacy. A solid wood double-door entry welcomes you into the generously sized owner's suite, featuring a spacious bedroom, two sizable walk-in closets, and sliding glass doors to the backyard. The owner's bathroom is equally impressive, boasting dual vanities, a spa soaking tub, a separate half bath, and an oversized walk-in shower with a rain shower head over a built-in bench, updated in 2022. Step out back onto the travertine patio, covered by a large, grandfathered-in tiki hut. This hut has withstood two hurricanes and remains perfectly intact. Built to last, it features posts concreted 4 feet into the ground and faux palms made from recycled materials, designed to repel insects and ensure long-lasting durability. Located a short walk from Vina Del Mar Park, offering tennis and pickleball courts, a playground, fitness park, and a covered pavilion with restrooms. This home is also a bike or golf cart ride away from the iconic Pass-A-Grille Beach. The island is very golf cart-friendly, making it easy to explore the community, visit neighbors, or cruise to the beach in style. You'll find many great restaurants and shopping spots, most on 8th Avenue, recognized as one of the shortest main streets in America. This property is the epitome of beachside living on the water!
