550 N GULF BOULEVARD PLACIDA FL 33946 MLS #A4699916

Some places impress you the moment you arrive. Others change the way you live.

Your journey home begins with a brief five-minute crossing aboard the Palm Island car ferry, where the pace of the mainland gives way to one of Florida’s most treasured and exclusive barrier islands—a place where the water sets the rhythm of the day, quiet beaches and protected waters create the backdrop, and a remarkable sense of tranquility becomes part of everyday life.

Perfectly positioned on an oversized double lot between the protected harbor and the Gulf of Mexico, 550 North Gulf Boulevard offers one of Palm Island’s most desirable settings. Protected dockage with direct access to Lemon Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Gulf pairs effortlessly with deeded beach access just across the street—an uncommon combination that defines the property’s extraordinary appeal.

The residence encompasses approximately 2,517 square feet with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, offering a floor plan that balances comfortable everyday living with effortless entertaining. Extensive interior renovations have transformed the home’s main living spaces, highlighted by a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, premium appliances, generous workspace, and a large center island that naturally becomes the gathering place for family and friends. A custom entertaining bar complements the adjoining living and dining areas, creating an inviting space that flows seamlessly throughout the main level.

Occupying the entire second floor, the owner’s suite provides exceptional privacy and generous living space. In addition to the spacious bedroom, the suite includes an adjoining office or sitting area, a generous walk-in closet, and the added convenience of a separate washer and dryer within the primary bathroom. Two private balconies—one facing east to welcome the sunrise and the other west to capture spectacular sunsets—offer peaceful places to enjoy the changing light while overlooking the pool and tropical landscape.

Designed for entertaining as much as relaxation, the pool features a generous sun shelf and a built-in submerged table, creating an inviting setting for al fresco dining, afternoon refreshments, or sunset cocktails beneath mature palms and surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. The surrounding patios provide inviting spaces to gather with family and friends or simply unwind in the privacy of the island setting.

For boaters, the waterfront amenities are exceptional. The composite dock is equipped with a covered 10,000lb boat lift and provides direct access to Lemon Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Gulf with no fixed bridges restricting your route to open water. A flexible workshop offers valuable space for boating equipment, fishing gear, hobbies, or additional storage.

Whether the day begins with a sunrise walk along the Gulf beach, an afternoon on the water, or an evening watching the sunset from your private balcony, 550 North Gulf Boulevard offers more than an exceptional waterfront home—it offers the opportunity to experience Palm Island as it was meant to be lived.
