About 1525 Sykes Creek Dr
Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac at the very back of Diana Shores, this canalfront home delivers unbeatable down-the-water views, dreamy sunsets, and direct access to Sykes Creek. Set on one of the widest canals with plenty of room to turn a boat, the home is loaded with upgrades: 8 hurricane-rated windows, whole-house accordion shutters (2022), impact garage door (2023), and an 82' vinyl seawall with composite dock, jet ski lift, and kayak platform (2021). Entertain outdoors on the pavered patio, with a prewired and reinforced middle pad for a hot tub. Inside, enjoy a bright, open split floorplan with travertine and LVP flooring, a remodeled kitchen with gas range, indoor laundry, wood-burning fireplace—and no cast iron plumbing. A metal roof, newer electric panels, tankless gas water heater, privacy fencing, and high-end water filtration system round out the list. Tucked away yet close to 528 and the beach, this is where everyday comfort meets the Space Coast lifestyle.
