About This Home

As of March 2025

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. The one you have been waiting for! Welcome to this well-appointed 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom, pool home nestled in a serene, private setting along a wide canal with direct access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of America. Your slice of Florida paradise- situated on a 3/4-acre lot and located in Flood Zone X with NO FLOOD DAMAGE. Numerous updates have been made, allowing for a stress-free and move-in ready experience. From the moment you pull up to the beautiful corner lot, you’ll be delighted by the upgraded landscaping that lines the property’s fence. Enter through the gated, long brick paver driveway where you will be impressed by the manicured lawn and mature trees. The allure continues throughout the home with water views from nearly every room, natural light, neutral paint colors, crown molding, a wood accent wall, and luxury vinyl plank flooring. The split bedroom floorplan ensures both owner and guest privacy. Bring your vision to life in the kitchen ready for you to make it your own with LED lighting and newer stainless-steel appliances already in place. Upgrades include but are not limited to- 2025 shed roof, pool pump house. 2024 pool pump. 2023 interior & exterior paint, pavers & retaining wall, well pump (two separate pumps for in-ground irrigation system), and R-38 spray foam insulation. 2021 HVAC & UV light. 2018 roof, soffit, fascia, and gutters. Enjoy peace of mind and added security with hurricane impact windows & doors (with one-way privacy tinting). Even more impressive is the outdoor space with privacy fencing in the back, two storage sheds, multiple deck areas, a screened in gazebo, sparkling pool, and privacy landscaping. A boater's dream with a 33-foot dock equipped with water, power, and electricity, a 14,000 lb. boat lift, 2 davits, kayak launch, a green light for night fishing, and a riprap seawall. The canal was dredged in 2019 making it 4-foot deep during low tide. Bring your boat, RV, and all your toys in this NO HOA location where the possibilities are endless. Conveniently located to the beautiful Bradenton beaches, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, and the areas shopping & dining. Don’t miss your chance to secure your own slice of paradise!
