Introducing “River Breeze at Paradise Point” – the whimsical name of this breathtaking property, affectionately bestowed by the current owners. This stunning waterfront estate, stretching across 0.39 acres, is perched along the Myakka River with quick access to Charlotte Harbor and a 30-minute boat ride to the Gulf. It’s every boater’s dream to the best fishing in Southwest Florida, featuring 185 feet of concrete seawall, a 167-foot captain’s walk, and a 2023 metal-roofed boathouse with a 16,000 lb remote-controlled boat lift. Enjoy dolphin, manatee, and bald eagle sightings, or cast a line for record snook, world-renown tarpon, and redfish—all from your backyard. The home offers 3,825 sq ft of living space and a spacious, well-organized 1,327 sq ft 4+ car garage with 10.5-foot ceilings. Inside, the soaring 20-foot foyer with a sweeping staircase leads into a bright music room with 12-foot bamboo tray ceiling, and an entertainer’s dream kitchen featuring a massive quartz island, updated cabinetry, stainless appliances, and three built-in dishwashers. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and bar areas and out to a 56-foot screened patio and extended lanai—perfect for year-round indoor-outdoor living. Step out to the heated saltwater pool, surrounded by open-air lounge space ideal for relaxing in the Florida sunshine. The primary suite is a private retreat with a sitting area, two walk-in closets, a luxurious 14×14 bathroom with a 5×7 glass shower, and direct access to a private waterfront balcony. The primary guest suite also features a private balcony and river views. Every bedroom is en suite, ensuring comfort and privacy for guests. Throughout the home, enjoy travertine and engineered wood flooring with porcelain tile in 2nd level bathrooms, detailed crown molding, and abundant storage including multiple custom closets. Additional recent upgrades include a new standing seam metal roof (house and boathouse), two new A/C units with whole-home UV filtration, spray foam insulation, PECS plumbing system, impact-resistant windows and doors throughout, and fresh interior/exterior paint. The pool features a new heat pump, chlorine generator, and variable-speed pump, while rebuilt decks and upgraded kitchen and baths further elevate the home’s quality and style. Tucked away in Gulf Cove, a hidden gem community known for its quiet streets, friendly neighbors, and walkable, bike-friendly atmosphere, this exceptional home offers luxury, comfort, and breathtaking water views—delivering unmatched waterfront living in a peaceful coastal setting.
