NEW ROOF IN AUGUST 2024 AND A/C IN 2021 LIVE THE FLORIDA COASTAL DREAM IN THIS ARTISTIC KEY WEST INSPIRED WATERFRONT RETREAT Welcome to one of the most unique villas within the sought after 55+ maintenance free community of Heather Sound inside The Heather Golf and Country Club. This beautifully updated 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom waterfront home with an enclosed loft and just shy of 1,200 square feet feels less like a villa and more like a private Key West bungalow tucked away in paradise. Residents enjoy maintenance free living with exterior maintenance, lawn care, irrigation and access to the community pool. Owned and curated by an incredible artist, every inch of this home was intentionally designed to create a feeling. Tropical colors, playful coastal touches, natural light and waterfront views come together to create a home that feels vibrant, peaceful and completely unforgettable. The moment you step inside, you are greeted by airy living spaces, gorgeous vinyl plank flooring, dramatic ceilings and a relaxed coastal energy that instantly feels like vacation. Arched windows frame the water and fill the home with beautiful natural light throughout the day. The updated kitchen features modern cabinetry, granite countertops with a removable protective vinyl finish, stainless steel appliances. Just beyond the kitchen is one of the home’s most unexpected gems… an amazing custom BUTLER'S PANTRY. Equal parts functional and artistic, this hidden space adds incredible storage while perfectly tying into the home’s tropical bungalow aesthetic. Upstairs, the enclosed loft offers incredible flexibility and functionality. Whether used as a guest room, home office, creative studio, reading retreat or simply additional storage space, it adds versatility rarely found in homes of this size. The primary suite is pure serenity. Wake up to soft sunrise colors reflecting off the lake as morning fog gently rises from the water and unwind at night with AMAZING indirect sunset views visible right from bed. The enclosed waterfront patio extends the living space beautifully, creating the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee while birds glide across the lake or evenings surrounded by peaceful watercolor skies. Then we have the tiki bar. Straight out of the Keys, this custom tropical inspired feature transforms the patio into an experience all its own. With lake views, artistic textures and a laid back island vibe, the entire space feels like a hidden boutique retreat. The guest bedroom continues the artistic coastal theme with bold color, tropical accents and cheerful natural light, making every room feel personally curated and full of personality. Residents also enjoy convenient access to the public 9-hole golf course, practice facilities, golf lessons, a pro shop, snack shop and banquet/event space. Beyond the community, the location delivers the true Florida lifestyle folks dream about. Just minutes away, enjoy the world famous mermaids and crystal clear spring waters of Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, where manatees gather and kayaking the River becomes part of everyday life. Take a short drive to Pine Island Beach Park for Gulf sunsets and salty breezes or spend your weekends exploring nearby inshore and offshore fishing, boating, waterfront dining, nature trails and Florida’s incredible wildlife. This is not just a home. It is a mood. A lifestyle. A waterfront escape filled with color, creativity, sunshine, birdsong and coastal charm.
