Virtually Staged. Welcome to 180 Lookout Point Drive in the sought-after Southbay Yacht & Racquet Club with deep water marina and available boat slips, the opportunity to walk to your boat in a deep water marina with your home resting safely in Flood Zone X (where flood insurance is not even required by lenders) doesn't come along often. This is an extraordinary residence taken fully down to the studs and reimagined as a like-new, luxury smart home. Set on a .4-acre lot in Flood Zone X (no lender-required flood insurance), this never-lived-in five-bedroom, 3.5 bath, 3,236-square-foot home blends solid block construction with high-end design and cutting-edge technology. No detail was overlooked, including a standing seam metal roof, all new high-velocity impact windows, hurricane-rated garage doors and fully integrated Alexa features throughout.
