Now is your golden opportunity to own a cozy waterfront retreat situated on a wide saltwater canal just minutes to the intracoastal waterway, and with no fixed bridges. For the boating enthusiast there is a 10,000 pound lift, 78 feet of water frontage and an abundance of dockage. Fishing and relaxing by the dockside fireplace or waiting for a view of an occasional manatee just might become one of your favorite pastimes! The charming 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with its split and open floor plan seamlessly combines modern luxury with coastal vibes. Meticulously updated, this is one, everybody seems to be looking for…. Impact windows and a new roof! Upon entering, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed interior with beautiful vinyl flooring that creates a warm and open ambience. The heart of the home is the well-appointed kitchen, featuring new stainless-steel appliances and a stunning quartz countertop island with plenty of built-in storage. The living room is a snug retreat, perfect for a day relaxing in front of a wood burning fireplace for those occasional cool nights or more commonly for relaxing after a fun filled day at one of the many nearby public beaches. To cap off this perfection is the newer Pebble Tech pool and spas with its panoramic screened lanai looking onto the fabulous tiki hut and the gorgeous backyard views with the vibrant colors of those amazing west coast Florida sunsets. Completing this dream home is its close proximity to historic downtown Venice, top rated schools, numerous airports, the Legacy biking trail, shopping, and an abundance of fine dining establishments both on and off the water. A new state of the art hospital and our world famous gulf beaches make this property one that should not be overlooked! Discover the charm of waterfront living and be sure to tell all your family and friends, “I live where you vacation”!
