Sacrificing this corner/bay front, 3 bedroom, 3-1/2 bath home on 8th ave, saint james city with quick access to the intercoastal. Home was completely remodeled in 2024 to include: new electric/fixtures, plumbing/fixtures, dual daikin hvac system, ducts and wi-fi remote thermostats, halo5 whole house water treatment, hot water heater, underground electric, 4’ white 3-rail aluminum fence/gates, security cameras, closed cell roof insulation, high impact doors and windows, new porcelain tile flooring, tiled showers, electric fireplace with stone surround/granite top, laundry room cabinets/granite top, ironaway built in ironing system and new stucco/painted soffits. This corner lot home has breathtaking water views from three sides, surrounded by water on two. The outdoor space is spectacular! If you are not out fishing or island hopping, you will want to enjoy this space. Outside additions from 2020-2021 include: new shingle roof, 2-lift dock with hydraulic platform for jet skis & kayaks, oversize pool with spa, bubbler, waterfall and lighted glass waterfall bowls, pool enclosure (with motorized privacy screen & dog door), paved driveway and walkways, fire pit, seawall, concrete planters at seawall, new roadside underground culvert pipe and much more. As a bonus, this property is complete with a natural artesian well to use as irrigation for lawn and landscaping. Just as this incredible home was completed, an unusual 2024 hurricane season arrived. The house received 6-12” of water. A licensed & insured company quickly removed two feet of drywall, insulation, cleaned, sanitized and evaluated for damaged items. Unfortunately, even 6-12” of water can compromise base cabinets, doors, molding, trim and appliances. Some cabinet drawers/doors/hardware were salvaged, base cabinet boxes could not be saved. As a local cabinet company made all the bases, specs are available and can be remade. Most upper kitchen & laundry cabinets and backsplash are intact. Kitchenaid 42” island hood and ge café 36” glass cooktop are intact, all other new appliances (lg washer/dryer tower, kitchenaid combo wall oven/microwave, ge café side by side refrigerator, kitchenaid dishwasher and xo wine cooler) are onsite and possibly can be repaired at a lesser cost than replaced. With care, the contractor was able to save the counters, island and vanity tops, along with sinks, plumbing fixtures, some base cabinet drawers, doors and hardware. Closet organizers are onsite, installation incomplete. The large 2-car garage is more than adequate for parking, storage and work area. You will enjoy meal preparation from the large kitchen island facing the water, all while entertaining, scanning for dolphins, manatees, fish and fowl. The kitchen, dining and living space are completely open with views of the water. The location speaks for itself, please look at the nearly completed photos before you look at the current ones so you can visualize the beauty of this home with just a little more love
