A showcase of architecture and radiant light, this 3BR/3.5BA residence commands a beautifully landscaped extended corner lot on one of Bird Key’s premier canal-front properties. The 2023 Murray Homes design boasts crisp lines, expanses of glass and warm wood accents that signal the home’s elevated contemporary character. Step inside and the design intention becomes unmistakable, as skylights, clerestory windows and full-height sliders flood every room with natural light and create a sense of openness that feels both artful and effortless. The kitchen is a striking focal point, styled with low-profile cabinetry, stone surfaces, top-tier stainless-steel appliances and a gas range. A large breakfast bar connects seamlessly to the dining and living areas, while a back-kitchen area keeps the main space sleek and uncluttered. The living room is a bright retreat anchored by a custom accent wall with a gas fireplace and wrapped in soaring windows and glass doors. The primary suite offers a spacious, quiet refuge with pool access, a custom walk-in closet and a stunning modern bath with floating dual vanities, freestanding tub, separate water closet and an open shower. Sliding glass doors lead to the pool terrace, where covered sitting areas with roll-down hurricane-rated screens, a full summer kitchen, expansive paver deck and open pool create an inviting outdoor living environment. The canal-front setting provides exceptional boating water, quick access to the bay and a large dock with 16,000 LB boat lift - 158' seawall. This amenity rich home also features a whole-home generator, irrigation well for landscaping, oversize garage perfect for car lifts, and water purification system.
