Old Florida Charm! Majestic oak trees & botanical treasures welcome you to this nearly 3/4 acre waterfront gem. This setting is disappearing from Florida neighborhoods, a place to come to relax, reflect, regenerate and which you'll want to call home. The plentiful water view will capture your attention upon entering the front door. This updated ranch style home offers a huge array of interior craftsmanship reflecting owners who care about comfort and quality. The stunning authentic 800 year old mantel enhances the fireplace adding a sense of history to this well maintained home. Each of the 2 bedrooms is complete with an ensuite bath. The owner's suite has a dream walk-in closet, 17 feet wide with two entrances and 16 built-in drawers installed by California Closets. Sit and read in the den overlooking the backyard and lagoon. Entertain guests in the air conditioned Florida room with a picturesque river setting, where you will see a variety of birds, otters and even manatees! For peace of mind, impact glass windows were installed in 2017 and a new metal roof was installed in 2016. Enjoy boating? You can set sail from your private dock, complete with boat lift, in the backyard of your Gulf access home. There is an attached one car garage and a detached, oversized 26 x 26 two car garage, and a separate shed, giving you plenty of space for a boat, jet ski, tools, equipment & fishing poles. There is also electrical available for a large recreational vehicle with multiple 30, 50 and 200 AMP resources. Freedom from deed restrictions and HOA fees will save money and allow you to be creative. For example, raise chickens, plant citrus trees, or grow a self-sustaining vegetable garden. The uninhibited night sky makes this a stargazer's delight. Here is where you'll be protected from the elements and live at peace among nature. This property delivers privacy and seclusion, yet just around the corner from shopping, dining, medical facilities, great schools, the Ft Hamer Bridge, Lakewood Ranch and I-75. Just a short drive to the sandy Gulf beaches, the Sarasota/Bradenton Intl Airport and within 40 minutes of the Tampa/St Pete metro area. Escape to paradise; schedule your visit today.
