Canal home with a new covered boathouse and lift (2024), outside the high-risk flood zone. This four-sided brick Tropic Isles home puts the Laguna Madre in your backyard: less than five minutes to open water, with no long idle through no-wake zones. Outside: private dock with a covered 12 x 24 boathouse and 6,000 lb lift, new in 2024, an observation deck with panoramic water and sunset views, a covered patio, and a covered outdoor cooking area with a stone tile top and large storage below. A two-tier bulkhead (vinyl at the waterline) keeps the lot stable and the dock is well above high tide; the canal runs approx. 5-6 ft deep mid-channel. Tropical landscaping provides shade and privacy and produces blueberries, figs, grapes, bananas, and papaya, all on drip irrigation. Inside: a bright, updated open layout with new lighting (including Philips Hue smart fixtures), stainless appliances, an oversized breakfast bar, a large pantry, and an indoor laundry with mudroom storage. Three bedrooms, two baths, 1,569 sq ft, and a 2-car garage: plenty of room without the upkeep of a larger home. Peace of mind: roof replaced 2018 with windstorm certificate. FEMA Zone X, outside the high-risk flood zone, so flood insurance is not currently required; elevation certificate on file. Furnishings available by separate agreement, so it's move-in ready on day one. Flour Bluff sits sheltered behind North Padre Island on the mainland side of the JFK Causeway, with no bridge to cross to get home: island-style living without the traffic.
