Versatile Merritt Island Retreat with Guest Cottage & Gated Grounds

Set on over a third of an acre in Merritt Island with no HOA, this gated property offers both versatility and comfort. The main residence features three bedrooms and two baths, highlighted by a brand-new roof and a refreshed kitchen with crisp new cabinetry and counters that bring a clean, modern feel. Just beyond, a detached one-bedroom, one-bath guest cottage expands the property’s appeal, offering ideal flexibility for multi-generational living, rental income, or creative workspace. With an electric gate, generous parking, and dedicated RV space, this property provides room to breathe and grow—blending practicality, privacy, and modern updates in one of Merritt Island’s most desirable areas.

Effortless Flow and Contemporary Warmth

The main home opens to a bright, cohesive living space wrapped in fresh white walls and warm wood-look tile flooring that stretches throughout. Vaulted ceilings add lift and light, enhancing the sense of openness while maintaining an inviting warmth. The living and dining areas connect seamlessly, creating a functional layout that easily adapts to both everyday living and entertaining. Every line feels clean and intentional, with new finishes setting the stage for a home that’s as easy to live in as it is to love.

A Smartly Renewed Kitchen

The redesigned kitchen serves as the home’s visual anchor—offering new cabinetry, matching counters, and a simple, modern palette that ties beautifully to the surrounding spaces. Its open concept keeps it connected to the main living area, ensuring a smooth flow whether cooking, serving, or gathering. Natural light filters in through large windows, emphasizing the room’s balanced mix of practicality and brightness.

Primary Comforts and Private Corners

The primary suite enjoys its own peaceful setting, enhanced by vaulted ceilings and a soft natural glow. Wood-look tile continues underfoot for a cohesive, polished aesthetic. The adjoining bath is efficiently designed with abundant storage and a sense of clean simplicity. Two additional bedrooms, equal in finish and charm, share an updated full bath with ample cabinetry and a classic tub-shower combo—ideal for guests or family.

Connected Convenience

The home’s interior laundry and bonus storage areas contribute to the thoughtful flow of function that runs throughout the property. Just beyond the carport, there’s direct access to the rear portion of the home, making daily routines and transitions effortless.

The Guest House — A Private Extension of Home

A standout feature of this property, the detached guest cottage echoes the same bright, modern design as the main home. Inside, vaulted ceilings and sleek gray-toned flooring create an airy, open feel. The living area flows naturally into a full kitchen outfitted with granite counters, crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and floating shelves for a clean, current aesthetic. The open island offers both workspace and seating potential, maintaining the cottage’s sense of spacious simplicity. The bedroom, generous in size, includes dual open closets and large windows framing lush tropical views. The bath, combined with laundry for optimal function, features a tiled walk-in shower with a striking circular mosaic accent and built-in shelving. Every inch of the cottage feels fresh and purposeful—designed to serve comfortably as a guest retreat, in-law suite, or independent rental.

Outdoor Ease and Freedom to Roam

From its gated entry and fenced yard to the tropical landscaping surrounding both dwellings, the property delivers a rare combination of space and freedom. The carport and extended drive accommodate multiple vehicles, while the RV parking area ensures flexibility for adventure or storage needs. A new sewer connection, fully funded through grant coverage, adds significant long-term value without future cost to the owner. Whether envisioned as a private homestead or a dual-living investment, the layout and land invite creative use and effortless enjoyment.
