Interior Finishes & Updates

The kitchen is fitted with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and wood cabinetry with generous counter space. Both bathrooms have been renovated with modern vanities and custom tile step-in showers. Tile flooring runs through the main living areas, with carpeting in the bedrooms. Updated lighting fixtures and ceiling fans are installed in every room.

Storm Protection & Systems

Impact-rated windows and sliding glass doors are installed throughout the home, eliminating the need for hurricane shutters. The roof was replaced in 2022, and the water heater was replaced in 2024. Heating is provided by a central radiant electric system, with central air conditioning cooling the home.

Outdoor Living & Grounds

The rear yard faces the canal with open water views. The lot depth and layout offer room for a future pool installation, a consideration for buyers looking to build out the outdoor footprint. A two-car garage is attached to the home.

Location & Access

South Shore 1 is located in the core of Wellington, within easy reach of US-441 and I-95 for commuting north toward West Palm Beach or south toward Boca Raton. Wellington's equestrian corridor, including Wellington International, the International Polo Club, and the Global Dressage grounds, is minutes west. Palm Beach International Airport is approximately a 25-minute drive east. For buyers evaluating Wellington canal-front properties, the canal widths in this section range under 80 feet, which accommodates small watercraft but is not navigable to major waterways without trailering.
