Located on North Hutchinson Island in the highly sought-after Fort Pierce Shores community, an established beachside neighborhood known for its lasting appeal, this elevated coastal home is just 2 blocks (.2 miles) from Atlantic Ocean beach access and directly adjacent to Fort Pierce Inlet State Park. Surrounded by ocean, inlet, river, and preserved natural beauty, this is a setting residents hold onto for generations. Solidly built and elevated for longevity and storm resilience, this home blends coastal lifestyle with structural confidence. Enjoy sunrise beach walks, boating, fishing, kayaking, and state park trails right outside your door. Upstairs offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with vaulted ceilings, skylights, Florida room and deck, plus a private 1/1 mother-in-law suite below. No HOA. The main living level features an open layout with vaulted ceilings and skylights that create an airy, light-filled atmosphere throughout. The Florida room, lined with large windows, offers flexible space ideal for relaxing, dining, or additional entertaining. The expansive wood deck extends the living area outdoors, providing a private setting to unwind and enjoy coastal breezes. The ground level includes a fully equipped one-bedroom, one-bath apartment with its own kitchen, living area, and washer and dryer, making it well suited for extended family, guests, or income-producing potential. Covered space below provides ample parking along with storage for beach gear, boating equipment, and recreational items. The new high-span bridge expected to open later this year will further improve access to North Hutchinson Island while maintaining the character and natural surroundings that make this area so desirable.
