Welcome to your slice of paradise in the colorful coastal town of Matlacha, Florida — where the sunsets are stunning, the seafood is fresh, and the vibe is always a little laid back (in the best way). This three-bedroom, three-bath waterfront stilt home has seen some serious upgrades, and it’s ready for you to make it your own. Recent updates include a new metal roof, helical piles, Hardie board siding, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a brand-new HVAC system — all the behind-the-scenes work no one wants to deal with is already done for you. The open-concept living area flows out to a newly added balcony lanai where you can sip your morning coffee while watching the manatees and dolphins cruise down the canal and out to the Pass. Outside, the pool area just got a facelift with fresh pavers, a resurfaced pool, and plenty of space for lounging, grilling, or showing off your best cannonball. And for the water lovers: this home comes with a new 10,000 lb boat lift, 7,000 lb dual jet ski lift, and a kayak lift — because here in Matlacha, having more ways to get on the water is basically a love language. Boca Grande, the world-famous Tarpon capital, is just a quick 30-minute cruise away. Downstairs, the enclosed lower level is functional, insurable, and loaded with potential — think storage, hobby zone, or that tiki bar you’ve been secretly planning. Located in a highly desirable waterfront community with quick Gulf access, you’ll be surrounded by incredible fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, art galleries, and dining. This home is move-in ready and just waiting for your personal touch (and maybe your flamingo float). Come see why life moves a little slower — and smiles come a little faster — in Matlacha.
