2560 Baybreeze St St James City, FL 33956

This property presents a pre-construction opportunity, offered as a lot with an existing structure and an approved remodel permit with all fees paid, along with a pool permit in hand with Design Concepts. The buyer is required to submit an owner/builder affidavit with the building department or have their contractor provide required contractor information to the County, assuming responsibility for all remaining construction and development costs. The remodel permit took over a year to obtain, and the home is fully prepared for transformation. The existing structure requires remodel per the approved building plans, with the planned addition built on top of the existing concrete block walls, eliminating the need for costly house lifting. The home has been completely gutted, and concrete has been cut and hammered for new thickened footings. All that remains is removal of the trusses and roof. The property includes two existing boat lifts (10,000 lb and 20,000 lb). The approved design features a beautiful open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, blending modern style with classic Old Florida appeal. Planned improvements include 2,075 sq ft of finished living space, a two-car garage, and approximately 1,215 sq ft of flex space on the lower level. The pool design does not encroach beneath the home, as shown in renderings. Located in the heart of golf cart–friendly St. James City, the property is close to the general store, fish market, Galt Preserve, St. Jude Nature Trail, Calusa Heritage Trail, and Pine Island Sound Aquatic Preserve. It offers a 10-minute boat ride to open water via the Philips Canal, with easy access to Sanibel, Captiva, and Fort Myers Beach. Community amenities include Civic Association Park events, free concerts, biking and walking paths, tennis and pickleball courts, a heated community pool, playground, and tiki restaurants. The lot size is 0.23 acres.
