Intracoastal Waterway Living at Its Finest. Located in the sought-after gated community of The Battery on the Waterway, this custom 5-bedroom, 4-bath home delivers big on space, design, and waterfront lifestyle. With three full levels and an elevator, there's plenty of room to spread out, entertain, and take in the views. Every level has a covered rear porch overlooking the Waterway, perfect for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or just watching the boats drift by. Step inside to find real hardwood floors, crown molding, and natural light flooding the main living spaces. The second level serves as the main floor and features an open concept kitchen, dining, and living area. The kitchen is well-equipped with stainless steel appliances including a gas range, walk-in pantry, granite counters, custom cabinetry, and a butcher block island with prep sink. Two sets of French doors off the living room open up to the large rear porch. This level also offers a guest bedroom (currently set up as an office) and a full bathroom. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious guest rooms with a shared jack-and-jill bath, along with the impressive primary suite. The owner's bedroom includes a private porch, a tray ceiling, and a huge walk-in closet with custom built-ins. The ensuite bath has a whirlpool tub, dual vanities with granite, a water closet, and a tiled walk-in shower with dual shower heads. On the ground level, there's another bedroom with a full bath, a large rec/media room with a wet bar and fridge, and a two-car garage. Step out back and the real show begins. The fenced backyard is built for entertaining with a custom pool and integrated hot tub, a full outdoor kitchen with built-in grill, fridge, sink, granite counters, and bar seating for six or more. There's also recessed lighting, wiring for dual TVs, and an upper-level sundeck. A paver path leads to your private dock and boat lift, giving you direct access to the Intracoastal. The Battery on the Waterway also offers residents a private boat ramp, community dock, basketball court, and gazebo. Tucked in Carolina Forest with quick access to International Drive, Hwy 31, and just minutes from shopping, dining, and the beach, this is the ultimate coastal retreat.
