A pergola with integrated lighting creates an inviting space for evening dining or lounging, while a private 7-hole mini-golf course adds a distinctive and rarely found amenity that enhances both lifestyle enjoyment and guest appeal. Interior spaces are comfortable, stylish, and fully updated, featuring a split-bedroom floor plan, abundant natural light, and seamless indoor-outdoor connectivity. The entire interior has been completely renovated with modern finishes and improved functionality throughout. The single-level design enhances accessibility and everyday livability. The main residence includes three bedrooms plus a den and two full baths. A separately metered guest apartment with private entrance and dedicated parking offers one bedroom, one bath, kitchen, living area, laundry, and screened porch—allowing for independent use or rental flexibility. Recent improvements include a new roof, impact-resistant windows and sliders throughout, and storm surge protection, providing added peace of mind and long-term durability. With multiple living spaces, two boat lifts, and direct Gulf access, this canal-front property offers a level of flexibility rarely found in the Connors area and supports a wide range of ownership strategies.
