Open water views, a private boat lift and an expansive upper balcony highlight this extensively renovated coastal residence at 3198 Indian Gulf Lane in Aripeka, within the greater Hernando Beach market area. Adjoining Lot 13 is included in the offering and forms an integral part of the homesite. The property combines comfortable coastal living with open water views, a poured-concrete seawall, private boat lift, expansive upper balcony, large covered ground-level entertaining area and one-car garage. The main living level features an open and inviting floor plan designed to take advantage of the surrounding waterfront setting. The living room, dining area and remodeled kitchen flow together, with generous windows and sliding glass doors providing abundant natural light and views toward the water. The kitchen features white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, extensive counter space and a large island/breakfast bar providing additional seating and workspace. Wood-look flooring, plantation shutters, ceiling fans and coordinated coastal finishes contribute to the home's updated presentation. The adjoining upper balcony substantially extends the living and dining areas outdoors and provides an inviting setting for relaxing, dining or enjoying the natural waterfront surroundings. The upper level includes the primary bedroom with private bath, a second bedroom, an additional full bath and laundry area. A finished first-floor room provides valuable additional flexibility. Although this room does not have a closet, it is finished consistently with the home, has a window and conventional access, and includes a full private bathroom. The space is well suited for use as a guest bedroom, den, home office or other flex space. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A substantial covered paver area beneath the home creates a shaded entertaining space complete with a dedicated bar area, while the upper balcony provides elevated views across the water. The poured-concrete seawall and private boat lift make the property particularly appealing for boating, fishing, kayaking and exploring the surrounding waterways leading to the Gulf of America. The home also features a metal roof, paver driveway and extensive updating throughout.
