Florida waterfront lifestyle from one of the most desirable canal locations in Diana Shores. Perfectly positioned on one of the widest sections of the canal, this custom-built 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers easier navigation for larger boats, a private dock with boat lift, and quick access to Sykes Creek, the Banana River, Port Canaveral, and the Atlantic Ocean. Major improvements include a 2023 metal roof, 2023 HVAC, hurricane-impact windows, impact-rated garage door, tankless gas water heater, updated electrical, whole-house water filtration system, beautifully remodeled bathrooms, and luxury vinyl flooring throughout. Inside, more than 2,300 square feet showcase an expansive open floor plan centered around spectacular waterfront views, a wood-burning fireplace, tray ceilings, walls of windows, and multiple sliding glass doors that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living. The chef's kitchen is equally impressive with extensive custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a massive island, gas cooktop, stainless vent hood, built-in wall oven and microwave, pantry, beverage station, and abundant storage, all overlooking the great room and water. The oversized primary suite enjoys peaceful canal views, private patio access, a spacious walk-in closet, and a completely renovated ensuite featuring dual vanities with quartz countertops and an oversized walk-in tiled shower. The guest bathroom has also been tastefully updated with modern finishes, making this home truly move-in ready. Step outside and experience what waterfront living is all about. The expansive covered lanai and oversized paver patio overlook one of the widest portions of the canal, providing exceptional views and plenty of room to entertain. The wide canal is more than just beautiful--it offers easier maneuverability for larger boats while giving you immediate access to some of Florida's best boating, fishing, paddleboarding, kayaking, waterfront dining, and weekend cruising. Whether you're heading offshore for world-class fishing, spending the day on the Banana River, or enjoying an evening sunset cruise, your private dock and boat lift make every outing effortless. Additional highlights include an oversized laundry room with additional refrigerator, an oversized garage with exceptional storage for vehicles, golf carts, paddleboards and boating equipment, recessed lighting, generous room sizes, and an outstanding split-bedroom floor plan designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Located just minutes from Cocoa Beach, Port Canaveral, Kennedy Space Center, waterfront restaurants, shopping, and SR-528 with convenient access to Orlando International Airport, this property offers far more than a beautiful home--it offers the waterfront lifestyle that people move to Florida to enjoy.
