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.

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.
