A South Gulf Cove Home With Heart — and a Story to Tell • Home Warranty Included Some houses have floor plans. This one has a personality. Tucked into the quiet canals of South Gulf Cove, where the HOA is optional (just $120 a year if you choose), this 2,845-sq-ft residence was designed for people who believe a home should feel lived in, not just looked at. Step through the double front doors and you’ll hear the gentle sound of the courtyard fountain — the kind of welcome that slows your pace. Inside, crown molding, custom lighting, and thoughtful design touches create warmth you can feel. Upstairs are four full bedrooms, a rare find in this neighborhood, offering everyone a little breathing room. The home moves the way life does: from a quiet front living room perfect for morning coffee, to a comfortable family room for game nights, to a dining space that turns holidays into events. Beyond the sliding doors, a screened lanai wraps around a sparkling pool, surrounded by mature tropical landscaping that feels like your own private retreat. And for those who see the garage as more than parking, this property has both — a standard two-car garage and an oversized 2.5-car garage with a full workshop for projects, tinkering, or serious storage. Recent updates — a new roof (Jan 2023) and HVAC (July 2022) — take care of the big stuff, so you can focus on enjoying the small moments: sunrise swims, weekend barbecues, and those breezy drives to nearby beaches, parks, and boat ramps. This isn’t just a place to live. It’s a place to belong.
