'Wood-plank' luxury vinyl flooring has been incorporated on the first floor, resulting in seamless room transitions. The home's three bedrooms and three bathrooms allow ample privacy for guests and owners. Steps outside the door, a whimsical footbridge leads to a gazebo that provides an all-season style and is where fuss-free furniture is easily arranged to encourage leisurely conversation and relaxation, creating an undeniably resort-style vibe while simultaneously capturing the essence of al fresco living. A sandstone path will take you to a private pool just beyond. The enchanting (and air-conditioned) 'art gallery' building offers a bathroom and could be utilized as an in-law suite, a home gym, or an art studio--the choice is yours. This charming home is within a short drive of the pristine beaches on Manasota Key and its various dining establishments.
