2560 Baybreeze St St James City, FL 33956

This property, located in St. James City, FL, presents a unique opportunity for complete transformation. The existing home is ready for remodel per the building plan, with an approved remodel permit and all fees paid. The planned addition is designed to be built on top of the existing concrete block walls, eliminating the need for expensive lifting of the house. The house has been totally gutted, and concrete has been cut and hammered out for new thickened footings. The remaining task is to remove the trusses and roof. The property includes two existing boat lifts, one with a 10,000 lb capacity and the other with a 20,000 lb capacity. The design features a beautiful open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, blending modern design with old Florida appeal. The finished space will be 2,075 sq ft, complemented by a two-car garage and approximately 1,215 sq ft of flex space on the lower level. A pool permit is in hand. Situated in a golf cart-friendly community, the property offers convenient access to amenities such as a general store, local fish market, Galt Preserve, and St. Jude Nature Trail. The island features preserves like the Calusa Heritage Trail and the Pine Island Sound Aquatic Preserve. Residents can enjoy the Civic Association Park, 18 miles of biking/walking paths, tennis and pickleball courts, a heated community pool, and a playground. Weekly live entertainment and tiki restaurants contribute to the vibrant atmosphere. Short boating adventures to Sanibel, Captiva, or Fort Myers Beach are easily accessible via a 10-minute boat ride to open water via Philips canal. The lot size is 0.23 acres.
