Built of solid concrete block construction, this unique 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers more than 1,600 square feet of living space and a layout that is anything but ordinary.

The kitchen is simple and functional, a classic waterfront camp where the focus is less on cooking indoors and more on enjoying life outside. And that's where this property truly shines.

One of the property's most charming features is its proximity to a popular local waterfront restaurant, Jerry's Dockside Bar & Grill, just a few doors away. Hop on your golf cart, head down the street, and enjoy dinner, drinks, and riverfront views without ever getting in your car.
