Elevated Gulf-access waterfront home in Driftwood Isles with panoramic sunset views, private elevator and exceptional garage space. Positioned on a wide water basin in Driftwood Isles with direct, unobstructed access to the Gulf of Mexico, this elevated custom waterfront home offers panoramic sunset views, natural buffering, and water visibility from nearly every living area. Built in 2001 by the current owner and meticulously maintained since construction, the property combines durable coastal construction with a peaceful waterfront setting designed for boating, storage flexibility, and enjoyment of the water. No HOA. The elevated design is a major advantage for waterfront buyers seeking practical flood-zone positioning. The main living level sits well above grade, while the expansive garage and storage areas below provide exceptional utility. Hurricane shutters and panels, dual whole-home electrical shutoffs, upgraded electrical components, and a Goldline whole-home surge protection system add confidence for coastal ownership. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings ranging from approximately 10 to 16 feet and expansive windows maximize natural light and frame open water views throughout the home. A double-sided wood-burning fireplace connects the great room and primary bedroom. The home offers approximately 1, 800 square feet of heated living space with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. A private elevator with approximately 750-pound capacity services the home, while a spiral staircase provides additional access from the garage to the main living level. Custom wood flooring crafted from a blend of red and white oak harvested from an 80-acre wood lot in Michigan adds character throughout the interior. Below the home is approximately 1, 640 square feet of garage space with approximately 20-foot ceilings and roughly 21 feet of clearance beneath the rafters, creating exceptional flexibility for vehicle storage, boating equipment, workshop space, or recreational storage. The space comfortably accommodates four vehicles while still allowing substantial room for additional functionality. Three garage doors are standard height at approximately 7 feet, while one oversized garage door measures approximately 11 feet, ideal for larger boats, trailers, lifted vehicles, or specialty storage needs rarely available in waterfront homes. Covered porches and open-air waterfront spaces are positioned to capture Gulf breezes and changing sunset skies throughout the day. The seawall features substantial concrete capping, and the existing boat lift pilings are reported to be in excellent, sturdy condition. Mechanical lift boxes are present but not currently operational. A charming waterfront cutout along the seawall creates a peaceful launch point for kayaks, fishing, or quiet moments beside the water. Recent updates include a complete HVAC replacement in 2024 with hypoallergenic filtration system, complete roof replacement in 2019, four garage doors replaced in 2024, solar-powered 80-gallon water heater installed in 2018, whole-house fan system, interior painting in 2017, and exterior pressure washing completed in January 2026. Surrounded by mature coastal habitat, the property regularly attracts dolphins, manatees, pelicans, herons, egrets, cormorants, loons, rose-breasted grosbeaks, and other native birdlife. Every evening, the basin reflects changing light and color across the water, creating a waterfront setting connected to the Gulf Coast environment.
