Situated on a sprawling double lot in the desirable waterfront community of South Gulf Cove, this custom-built DM Dean home is a true Florida gem. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal is undeniable—stone landscaping, mature palms, concrete curbing, and an extra-wide paver driveway set the tone. The entire property is fully fenced, offering both beauty and privacy, and the extended paver pathway guides you to the elegant double-door entry. Step inside, and you're immediately welcomed by a stunning view—thanks to a full wall of zero-degree pocketing sliding glass doors that open up to the outdoor living space, blurring the line between indoors and out. The expansive living room features a tray ceiling and is filled with natural light, highlighting the tasteful tile flooring that runs throughout the entire home. Just off the main living space, French doors lead you to a private den complete with a built-in Murphy bed—perfect for a guest room, office, or flex space. The heart of the home is the chef’s kitchen, where form meets function. A massive granite island offers ample prep and seating space, surrounded by upgraded soft-close cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a custom built-in wine rack, and a stylish tile backsplash. The adjacent dining room is framed by more sliding glass doors, offering a seamless transition to the pool area and bringing the outdoors in. This thoughtfully designed split floor plan ensures privacy for everyone. The luxurious primary suite is tucked away on its own side of the home and features tray ceilings, direct access to the pool, and two spacious, custom walk-in closets. The en-suite bath is a serene retreat with dual sinks, a dedicated makeup vanity, a large walk-in tiled shower, and a garden tub bathed in natural light from the surrounding windows. On the opposite side of the home, the second bedroom functions as a secondary suite, complete with its own custom walk-in closet and sliders to the lanai. The third bedroom is generously sized and shares access to the third full bathroom, which conveniently serves as a pool bath as well. Additional interior upgrades include impact-resistant windows and doors, plantation shutters, retractable sunshades, granite countertops and soft-close cabinetry throughout the home—every detail designed for both beauty and functionality. Step out back and discover your personal slice of paradise. The oversized lanai features a full summer kitchen, an inviting heated pool with a charming turtle mosaic, and a spacious covered area perfect for entertaining. Whether you prefer lounging in the sun or relaxing in the shade, there's space for both—and with retractable awnings, you can adjust the comfort to your liking. An outdoor shower adds convenience after a day by the pool. The oversized three-car garage is a dream in itself, complete with a mini-split A/C system—ideal for projects, storage, or hobby space. And don't forget the additional lot. Behind the fence, you’ll find a large, 11x22 ft, powered shed and all the space you need for boats, RVs, or even the future addition of a detached garage or workshop. While this home is not directly on the water, it still enjoys all the perks of South Gulf Cove living—including access to a community boat ramp, pavilions, learning gardens, and playgrounds. Plus, you're just under 10 miles from the pristine Gulf beaches, championship golf, shopping, and dining.
