Description of Property

PRIME LOCATION! DEEP WATER! BLUE WATER! NO BRIDGES! This home is a fisherman / boater / beachgoers delight with super quick access to the Intercoastal Waterway and the GULF OF MEXICO! Get out to DEEP WATER fast through Stump Pass which is just around the corner. Quickly pop over to the beach or sandbar, or to one of the many waterfront restaurants in the area. Kayak, paddleboard, windsurf or jet ski – turquoise water and sunshine is your friend at this home. The home has seen many updates in the past 3 years, including: a NEW ROOF, NEW AC system, NEW 200-amp ELECTRICAL PANEL, NEW APPLIANCES, NEW Hurricane-impact GARAGE DOOR, NEW PAVERS, NEW SCREENING on the patio, and LOTS of gorgeous palm trees and landscaping. This is your little piece of paradise, just 3 houses from the open water! The home offers 2 main living areas each with a wall of windows (with plantation shutters!) and gorgeous views. The dinette area takes advantage of the view as well! And you won’t mind washing the dishes at this home, even the kitchen has a view of the water! The kitchen also has gorgeous granite counter tops, a breakfast bar and plenty of wood cabinets with undercabinet lighting for nice ambience at night. You are sure to enjoy the spacious screened back patio/lanai at 10.5 x 36 ft long; half is covered, and half is open. Sit out back and enjoy the solitude and peacefulness of the visiting heron, dolphin and manatee. The composite wood dock sits in the private basin, providing your water vessel protection from the wind and current. Pop a boat lift in the basin along the dock OR along the 60 feet of seawall on the canal-side. That single car garage easily fits a vehicle, storage cabinets/shelving and the washer & dryer; It even has a handy 8 x 12 WORKSHOP attached! This is a perfect home for a couple or small family, OR a perfect second home for the winter season (although if you are a fisherman you will want to be here in the summer too!), OR a weekend get-away home. You could even rent it – but you probably won’t want to! No HOA, no assessments; just come and live the SALT LIFE. Homes like this, at this price, in this premier location are a commodity!
