Florida Living, Beautifully Reimagined

Under contract-accepting backup offers. A $5,000 SELLER CONTRIBUTION TOWARD BUYER'S CLOSING COSTS MAKES THIS CHARMING FLORIDA COTTAGE EVEN MORE APPEALING! Whimsical, beautifully updated, and brimming with charm, this solid block, sweet cottage home is tucked quietly between US-1 and the peaceful waters of Intracoastal Waterway. Here, life seems to slow down just enough to enjoy the river breezes, take an evening swim, or stroll to nearby parks and the waterfront. Less than a half-mile stroll to Menard-May Park, this home places kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, and personal watercraft launches practically at your doorstep. Continue a little farther along Riverside Dr, to George Kennedy Park, offering larger boat-launch access. Enter through the enclosed, screened Florida room, a wonderful year-round gathering space where you can curl up with a book, watch your favorite show, or relax in the gentle river breezes. Inside, the open living area flows into a beautifully renovated kitchen featuring warm butcher-block countertops, newer appliances, a charming butler's pantry, shiplap accents, and an electric fireplace that adds a cozy touch. The home offers two comfortable bedrooms and one-and-a-half beautifully renovated bathrooms, complemented by durable, waterproof Hydropel hardwood flooring throughout. And then there's the backyard — your own private oasis. Take a dip in the heated saltwater pool, complete with three cascading waterfalls, turbo massage jets, and a sun-shelf seat made for lingering in the Florida sunshine. A private outdoor shower and mowing-free landscaping and manicured artificial lawn keep the backyard looking beautiful without the upkeep. Enjoy the double bench swing, stay active with the outdoor pull-up station, or nurture your green thumb in the raised garden bed. A 10' x 12' air-conditioned workshop/she-shed/art studio/man cave provides the perfect flexible space for hobbies, creativity, projects, or simply escaping for a little quiet time. A vinyl privacy fence completes the secluded outdoor setting. Perfectly positioned for both adventure and everyday convenience, you're minutes to shopping, 1 block to the river, approx. 10 minutes to New Smyrna Beach's South Causeway, 15 minutes to the beach, 25 minutes to Daytona Beach International Speedway, and about an hour to either Cape Canaveral or Orlando. Charming, carefree, and wonderfully close to the river—this is more than a cottage; it's a lifestyle. A place to slow down, breathe deeply, make memories, and fall a little more in love with Florida every day.
