This Private Waterfront Retreat is nestled on 2.5 acres with over 200 feet of unobstructed water frontage, all within the heart of the city! Tucked away on a quiet, no-through street in Highland Lakes, this "single story" remarkable property delivers the serenity of a rural sanctuary with the convenience of quick, easy access to Interstate10. Wake up to the kind of views people build their whole lives around! Watch nature's birds glide along the water's edge, tend to your garden, or simply sit and meditate as the world slows down around you. The peaceful, calm atmosphere and wonderful mix of neighbors of all ages make this an incredibly special place to call home. This beautifully renovated residence offers 4 bedrooms plus a study or additional 5th bedroom with 3,242 square feet, a cozy fireplace and no carpet. The mother-in-law's side of the house has a walk-up staircase in the closet that leads to another room of its own! If you need a 6th bedroom, there is an additional 599 square feet of bonus space, including a full bath above the oversized garage and workshop -- perfect for a studio, guest suite, or flex space. The home was taken down to the studs in 2015 and completely reimagined; walls were removed and rooms added to create an open, comfortable floor plan ideal for family living and entertaining. The chef's kitchen features stunning quartzite countertops, a beautiful granite island, and stainless appliances; it flows seamlessly into the den, creating a warm, connected gathering space. The separate dining room has an oversized window that frames the natural scenery like a living work of art. Properties like this simply don't come along often -- so don't miss this opportunity!
