For added peace of mind, the property includes flood barrier protection designed to help prevent rising water intrusion during storms, along with transferable flood insurance. The circular brick paver driveway and lush landscaping enhance curb appeal, while the private boat dock with Gulf access makes this home a boater’s dream.
