This beautiful waterfront pool home in Hernando Beach, Florida is located just a minutes boat ride to the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico.  There is a great view of the gulf from the backyard, sit on the dock and watch the sunsets for which the west coast of Florida is famous.  Dock a boat at the floating dock in your backyard and be out on the gulf in less than two minutes on your boat.  This ground level two-story home, with almost 4000 total sq. f t. and almost 2900 living sq. ft., is unique to Hernando Beach.  The ground floor master suite will appeal to many buyers, as will the upstairs with the separation of the guest or children's suites from the main living space in the home. 

This home offers three bedrooms, three baths, a bonus room (which could be fourth bedroom), family room, great room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast room, inside laundry room, loft, mud room, two car garage, walk-in attic, waterfront lot with seawall and floating dock and screened lanai with pool.  Additionally there is an intercom, central vacuum system, whole-house water conditioning and filtration system, under-counter water filtration system for drinking & cooking water in the kitchen, pull-out drawers and storage systems in kitchen cabinets, built-ins in the family room and loft, fireplace in great room, large stain-glass chandelier in dining room, sunken great room, vaulted ceilings in great room, dining room and bonus room, decorator ceiling fans throughout the house including in screened lanai, sprinkler system and french doors from great room to pool area, ceramic tile in downstairs rooms.  Appliances are white and  include washer & dryer, side by side refrigerator, smooth top built-in electric stove/oven, trash compactor, microwave, dishwasher and disposal.

As you enter the home through the foyer, you will be amazed at the huge beautiful stain-glass chandelier hanging from the vaulted ceiling over the dining room table.  This chandelier is similar to ones you may have seen before in hotel lobbies. The window in the dining room over looks the screen enclosed pool and lanai. Easy care ceramic tile covers the floors of the foyer and the dining room.

As you step down into the great room from the dining room you will find French doors leading to the screened lanai and pool.  The large fireplace will be welcome on the cooler winter days and in addition give the great room, a grand look, year round.  Looking up in the great room, you will find vaulted ceilings with a decorator ceiling fan and a loft area that runs the length of the dining room and great room and can be access by the stairway in the foyer.  Off the foyer you will find a powder room and closet next to the staircase and the entry hall to the master suite.  The ceramic tile flooring continues into the powder room and throughout the master suite including the master bath.

The master suite is large and has a walk-in closet.  The adjoining bath has a separate shower, his and her vanities, and linen closet.   This room could also be used as a guest suite, if you converted the huge bonus room upstairs into a second master suite.

The family room is also located on the first floor of this home and has two walls of built-ins, including a cabinet for your big screen TV.  The flooring is ceramic tile and continues to the breakfast room and kitchen, which are open to the family room.  From the family room you can access the laundry room and mud room, which leads to the two-car garage with plenty of storage for your automobiles and lawn equipment.  There is also shelving and cabinets in the garage for additional storage.

Take the stairs with a landing in the middle to the second floor and you will find the huge bonus room (which could be second master suite, game room or children's playroom), two additional bedrooms for guests or children and the wonderful loft.  The loft has lots of built-ins and over looks the great room, dining room and the screened lanai.  It is currently being used as a library/study but could also be used for a guest room for extra company, if needed.  Off the loft is a walk-in attic running the complete length of the loft, giving the home even more storage.

This home sits on a waterfront lot with water on two sides.  There is a seawall to protect the property and allow easy access to the floating dock.  Plenty of room on the seawall to sit and watch to boats go by on their way to a day of fun on the gulf.  The canal is saltwater and is wide and deep and can accommodate a large boat.  The view of the gulf is spectacular from almost anywhere in this home.  Imagine watching those beautiful sunsets from you own backyard.  You may even see bottlenose dolphin swimming in the canal once in a while.  Think of it as your backyard aquarium.
